Problem running Crossfire MOD under Windows Vista

flmm is required to run all those different scripts and options

someone would need to write a new complex installer if we drop flmm

hnmm same u can buy a new car and put a water to him and ask seller why it dont ride VISTA sux Viva El Linux

hmm freelancer works beter under linux then under vista i menge to run it on wine and cedega is run fine but are problems with connection sience linux firewall is like hardware router firewall and freelancer cannot go true anyway to u all who use vista ... i dunno why ur using system who need for working 2 gb of ram if i on p3 and 256 can got beter more pro more eyecandy GuI then any vista can ever got working Beter then Aero with 3 giga ram lol and i can run most of games without problems hmm

I know this is an old thread, but has anyone successfully got Vista and CF to coexist happily?

I have spent about 5 hours trying to get it to work, and so far I can get the launcher to run, and update some files.

HOWEVER, it fails on various files with a file access error.

I can go straight to SP, but after all the cutscenes it bombs with no error message. The Vista event log has a failure report for freelancer.exe, but it doesn't help.

Anyone fix this problem?

i dont understand why anyone has trouble. its always worked on vista for me. no different to xp other than when the launcher is on 1.5 to make it download the 1.6 launcher you need to reboot in between. that is all. If anyone is having problems then make sure your pc can run other games okay.

there is possibly some things people are doing wrong. basically you never install games with anti-virus and firewall on, turn them off! because they dont warn you when it decides to screw the install up.

Well, that doesn't sound like "working better than w/ vista" to me (regarding the un-connection)

My solution, win XP with Vista theme:D

When I try to ''regsvr32 c:\program files\microsoft games\freelancer\exe\msinet.ocx'' I get the message: The module failed to load.

Please let me know what to do now? I've followed the instructions as they are writ, I run vista home with all updates done. Freelancer normal runs fine, only crossfire won't start after selecting single player, it just crashes with the typical vista message 'has stopped responding'

Please help, I want to play this mod man!

please check, if u removed every file from the saved games folder (including restart.fl)?

else: if it's a Vista problem i am not very much of a help - i run XP.
