Well nicely he managed to recover them and everything was going fine until today, i am at a friends trying to introduce them to the mod. i printed out my id so i could play it at his and show him what the game is like but again the server is not listing any of my characters, and i know the ID is the one i am using at home i have checked it about 10 times now and they are exactly the same. i am just hoping i don't get back home to find that they are not there when i play from home as well Also i have noticed that its taking aged to get to the character screen, i am hoping its his laptop and not that logging in on another computer has somehow corrupted them all

ok thanks :D, i will throw a PM his way. Hopefully they can be recovered, it would save me allot of time trading

so will i just have to use a different name in game? it will be a shame not being able to use any of my old ones but no big problem :s

Hello everyone after about a year or so I have decided to start playing freelancer again Unfortunately i have a little problem, i presumed that the chars would have been wiped but the user names i had are all taken so it would seem my account is still active, i still have my old ID but after changing it to my old one my chars are still not listed :S. I don't suppose anyone has any ideas on what might be wrong? so far the only thing i can think of is that its the wrong ID, if that's the case what's the likelihood of an admin resetting my account? (I would even be happy with my my old account being wiped so i can use my name in the server again).

About 5 years ago when i first started playing this mod i was in the PiA clan and they were a good if not small clan with only around 6 members. when my GCSE's were about to start i left the game for about a month only to find that on my return not only did the PiA clan have many more members but they were all getting banned along with anyone who was talking about them. After seeing this i decided to leave the game out of fear of the ban hammer, now that i am back i am just curios as to what happened?
Apologies if this hits a nerve but i am just curios and i cant find anything helpful with the search.
Thanks.

If you have any of the Coalition Gatling guns left i would be interested in 4 of them my name is Cian in game if i am not on could you send me a PM.
Thanks

i will look into the APC it sounds pretty good i guess i will try and find some good trade runs so i can get the funds for a combat char and keep the bullpup
(or apc) for trade thanks guys.

While i get used to the game again i am playing as a freelancer and doing anything that takes my fancy at the time, be it trading, exploring, or combat. The ship that was the best all-rounder when i was last playing was the bullpup MKIII and it still is an awesome ship, a good cargo hold and the firepower to fight of any pesky nomads but its shields are pants so what ship would you consider to be the best all-rounder these days and what equipment would you have equipped?

unfortunately i cant add acceptations to my routers firewall without knowing the ports it uses

I fixed it
Thanks for the suggestion about the rougher i forgot mine had a built in firewall, i turned it off and the game updated fine and now works

i am noticing quite a few graphical and text problems in game but i will try reinstalling and see if they are still there (unless the current vertion has problems with jumpholes and stars looking all messed up when in docking/cinematic mode)

I am just using the built in windows firewall, but i have tried with it turned off with the same result the game stops working when it auto updates. I am guessing that the auto update is corrupting the install in some way oh and i am running the latest version of the mod (1.82).

After i installed the mod (on clean install of FL) the games auto updater thing ran and then let me start the game but there was only sound for the intro movies and it then crashed without a message when it started loading. When i run the game now nothing happens, the games exe just closes itself as soon as its started. I have redownloaded the mod and tried installing it again on clean installes several times with the same results, i have also made shure that MSINET.OCX is registered in case that was responsible. Also these are no save games present to cause this problem.

I am running the following system:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
AMD Athlon XP 3200+ (yes the antique, and it still works fine for most games)
2 GB RAM
GeForce 7600 GS

Freelancer works fine without the mod so Is crossfire just not compatible with windows 7, or have i done something wrong?

Update:
After installing the game again i had my firewall block the auto update and the game works fine for single player so i am guessing my problems are related to the update :s just to be sure i am going to reinstall the game again to be sure its not a fluke.

All i can say is AWESOME

its been a very long time since i had freelancer installed let alone played crossfire, i think it was still 1.5 when i was last around and i am glad i decided to see what's going on.

one thing i am wondering however is what the single player is going to be like? (unfortunately i no longer have the time to fully take part in server activities )

erm.... what?

probaly but i just edit my save games when i want things in sp its the least time consumeing way and i have no real point in geting rid of it i just hate people saying that things can not be done (nothing is impossible :D)

lol dam now i have an urge to get it to work 100% :D, now were did my cracking kit go hehehe only kidding i dont have the time i am busy makeing a trainer for the new game pray

i know but i did realy not have the time to find the exact files to change so i just changed all the ones it could be i might fine tune it later then i can mix it with all my fav mods and play "super cool uber freelncer plus"

but on a side note you rely need to find out a way to stop people just packet editing all the people i have ever seen cheat on FL in the past year have been doing that and its becoming quite a pain on some servers

just because you sed it could not be done i went and did it you might want to update that anticheat for a start you could tell the game not to work if the anti cheat is just not there at all and if its possible some kind of packet scanner as it only takes a pc tec with basic network training to know how to packet edit there own cheats

hehe this a a pic of the mod in the game its gone a bit glitchy and its not reading the language files right but it only took 30 seconds so its probaly just a missing file:

and dont wory i am not gona say how its done but a 2 year old could do this (i actualy first did this ages ago by mestake)

i have been trying to mod my SP too (i normaly have a copy of the mods i am playing just for offline playing and haveing fun moding) but this ver of crossfire seems to have some kind of copy pretection no mater what i change it chashes my system and when ever i try to scan some of the dll files the same thing happens evin my virus checker can not scan them its fucked up so far the only thing i have been able to add are jump gates, i could understand if it was just a glitch due to fl explorer but i use note pad for moding :-/ o well single player is still fun evin when you dont have uber x 5000 super moded in guns

true but yuck X 50 for star wars

hehe no need now i got my web upgraded to 10 meg so it download in about 3 mins

edit:
unfortunatly i have been hit with a busy moment in life so i dont have time to play online atm but i am going to be playing in SP so i can romember the star map and were bases are, also as i dont have much time as it is i use the IONCROSS Freelancer Character Editor in SP to save me time in traiding and looking for wepons to buy so i was wondering if sombody had the gamedata files for CF that the character editor needs to work with the mod or will i have to make them myself (i hate doing that it took me a whole day when i did it for my old mod)
thx
