Cannot Launch Freelancer Crossfire - DLL Errors

There are 2 replies in this Thread. The last Post () by jecandOne.

  • I'm having trouble getting crossfire to launch. Whenever I have any other shader selected other than the "no selection" option, the game does not start up. The logs from the launcher show a error code of "CODE 00000001". When I select the "no selection" option, I can get the game to launch, the cutsences play, and the load screen pops up, but before it gets to the menu the game crashes. Taking a look at the event viewer I get DLL errors for various DLL files.

    Here's one for "alchemy.dll"

    This also happens for other DLLs, like ShipRange.



    This is with a clean install of both freelancer and crossfire (and I do not run freelancer between the finish of the game install and the start of the crossfire install), I've tried several times to uninstall and reinstall. This happens on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers I have. Any insight would be appreciated.

  • Is a: your system drive?

    Have you tried to delete the savegames?

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.

  • No the A drive is separate from my system drive (system drive is the default c), I do delete the my games/freelancer folder each time I tried to reinstall it.
