Extract the archive.
Copy GameLauncher.exe into your Freelancer\Exe folder.
Do not rename it to
freelancer.exe.SmartScreen Warning
When starting the launcher for the first time, Windows Defender SmartScreen may show a warning. This happens because the application is not code-signed yet.
Click More info → Run anyway to start the launcher.
We plan to submit the application to Microsoft later so this warning should disappear in future versions.
First Startup
On the first launch the launcher will automatically:
Download the required WebView runtime (in the background)
Store it in the Freelancer\CFLauncher folder
Generate hash files needed for file synchronization
This process only happens once. or after new files will be provided.
Estimated time:
SSD: usually under a minute
HDD: may take several minutes depending on the system
After Setup
Once everything is finished, you can launch:
Singleplayer
Multiplayer
The launcher UI should be fairly intuitive.
