    I have the game cd and its in excellent shape. I have a windows 11 pro OS. I can install it but it wont run so I am asking for help. Can anyone tell me how to get it running on my system.

    Please more detail what you have done and where the problem happened.

    Regular download crossfire from filebase, download freelancer no cd and then run install, If problems with cd maybe run compatibility mode.

    no need for the no-cd

    only vanilla FL + CF

    more is not required

    Installed game just fine. Game will not launch, automatically goes to troubleshooter asking if game launched correctly. I respond no (because it didnt do anything) went thru troubleshooter steps, changed compatability mode for windows 98 and win 2K and still game will not launch. All that happenes is I click the launcher icon, and then ot goes to did this gamme launch. I am running game under admin and its installed on an admin account

    HD mod is 100% imcompatible with Crossfire (it overwrites essential files) and even can be considered a visual downgrade.

    I can only imagine that dx play components where not installed when you tried it first time and the hde mod has a feature to enable it on win11. (at the time of the cf installer release that issue did not exist, and to my knowledge recent win11 installations have this legacy component active by default).

    Let's simplify install legacy FL (no need for any crack) then enable Windows feature for older games DirectPlay (Go to **Control Panel** > **Programs** > **Turn Windows features on or off - Look for **Legacy Components** and check the box for **DirectPlay) Then you can install Crossfire mod and it will run just fine. That HD version that you installed is no good.
