  • Need Some Info!

    Ahoy M8's!


    I'm doing some deep space exploration, just mainly collecting system data and came across something freaky today and hoped someone could explain what exactly I experienced.


    Keep in mind I know about Black Holes & Neutron Stars, although beyond YouTube videos have never been to one (As far as I know).


    I was heading towards the core of the galaxy, not exactly center but close; I'm about half way to half way if that makes any since when something that seriously freaked me out happened.


    I jumped to the next system and something threw me away from the star as soon as I came out of hyper jump, I didn't see anything just stars whipping past me; it caught me so off guard I hesitated doing anything for a few seconds beyond "HOLY SNIKES" what was that!


    I turned around and that star was about half the size of the three quarter circle in the canter of the HUD, you know the one that you line up to jump to your way point.

    I turned around to head back towards the star and got the "Slow Down" when the star was about the same size as the center HUD circle icon mentioned above. This tells me what ever it is that I don't see is flipping huge, so needless to say I booked marked the system then hightailed it out of there in fear of losing all of my precious data.


    My question to you all is what was that, my first black hole experience, something else?


    Needless to say I'm heading back home to get paid for my travels, if this happens more frequently the closer I get to the center, I am not yet ready to risk my payload for it.

  • Issues with my Signature

    I'm suddenly having issues with my signature working, it looks fine when editing but displays a image glif when producing the final product.

    I uploaded the image to my Crossfire Gallery and it still doesn't show correctly; it's about half the size of the original image even when submitting it I choose "Original Size".


    The image is a JPG file, I also tried PNG with no luck. I just get a little box and some text where my sig should show in posts.



  • My Money!

    <p>The problem is when deleteing chars, I can't move the money on the char to the bank it my point, but I guess I'll have to wait until there is someone to hold all of my cash since I wish to delete several chars.</p>

  • My Money!

    I once again have made plans to revamp my chars (For my own reasons, that's why and that's reason enough), but I forgot about the 60 or 65 mil or thousand "Whatever it is" on your char that you can't deposit to your bank.
    That's a chunk of money I would rather put towards a new build rather that just through to the wind, do I need to talk to some higher ups just to have the freedom to edit chars without deleting my hard earned cash? :(


    Or am I missing something here? ?(

  • Peak Horus

    Ahoy all,


    It's been awhile and I've been off and on at best here and on the server RL ya know, but is there a peak hours time?
    The last few times I've been on the server seemed a bit quite.

  • Base List

    Cool we can add to it great, and thank you Nuc Nuc that is what I wanted.


    Clearly you are correct Forlon this definitely isn't complete, I see a base called Far Water Station on our (IOC) trade calendar and I don't remember that station at all so I'm guessing it's new' when I find it I'll add the info.

  • Launcher failure

    UPDATE:
    This method works on Windows 8.1 & Windows 10 Technical Preview


    1: Use NucNuc's Installation guide pt 1.txt to completely remove Freelancer.


    After using this method search for the registry location mentioned by Forlon: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Wow6432Node | Freelancer Mod Manager - and delete "mods\<Name of the mod you have activated>"


    2: Use NucNuc's Installation guide pt 2.txt to install Freelancer.


    If your having problems with over sized text like I did, activate the Font Fix - I did both:


    This one mentioned by Wanderer - "fonts-fix.cmd" in your Freelancer directory, or by manually installing the font from "Crossfire_2.ttf" file located in "<FLMM folder>\mods\Freelancer 2 - Crossfire\DATA\FONTS\Files\"


    This one mentioned by SilverFox - There's a fonts-fix.cmd in your \Freelancer folder now to fix this.


    Then set Shaders to "Vinilla FL" as mentioned by Riebens.



    After I launched and got the error mentioned above, I just rebooted and presto everything works great!


    Thanks all for your much valued assistance - See You In Space!

    Quote from Riebens

    I had the same problem.


    Set the shaders to "Vanilla FL" and it works for me .


    Kind Regards


    OK - I did set it to Vanilla FL and fixed the oversize characters with the file in the FLMM Font folder, strange because the very first time I installed 2.0 SweetFX was the setting that worked.


    As it is now SP works perfect thanks to everyone's help and patience, but now I'm back to square zero with MP again.
    When I originally launched it I got to the server listings before a network "Allow this program" popped up, I clicked yes Trust this application and BAM it crashes to the desktop with this error in the log:


    [i]:Starting Update...


    [i]:Prepare Freelancer Start...


    [w]: Could not copy file from C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Games/Freelancer/EXE/Content-0C458F.dll to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE2/Content-0C458F.dll


    [x]:Error Copy [E000002FF]


    I'm guessing somebody here knows what this is telling me, I'm every so close now and have great confidence in my fellow Freelancers to help me get this working. :D

  • Launcher failure


    I tried everything you said just as carefully as stated and two things seem out of wak:


    One - After installing Crossifire when it's done and FLMM automatically opens the Crossfire Mod already has a green check mark by it, and if I hover over it the "Activate" button turns to "Deactivate" and this is before I Restarted the computer, after the Restart it's still the same (Basically no need for me to activate it through FLMM, cause it did it during the install???).


    Two - When I go to launch the EXE from the location listed:
    - open drive C:\
    -- open folder "programs(x86)"
    --- open folder "Microsoft games"
    ---- open folder "Freelancer"
    ----- open folder "EXE"


    It asks me for the Freelancer Disk "Please insert the correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application".


    What's wrong with this picture, I don't want to give up on FL CF, but my patience is running short on this crap.


    Don't mean to cry so much but I F'ing want to play and this Sh't is really pissing me off.


    My next move is to find a pirated version of Windows 7 and I'll have to just play in a VM, cause I'm not dropping anther 300+ on a Windows system just to play FL.

    As I'm sure by now you're probably about as sick of this as I am, but I miss this game and just can't seem to figure out WTF is wrong here.


    First SP problems, those got fixed then MP problems and from there it got worse.


    I download Winmerg in an attempt to figure out what was wrong with my FLMM and CF folders etc. and some how something got moved and the game wouldn't launch after that.


    I uninstalled FL so many times now I'm tied of counting, I read post after post on here with people with similar problems and none of their solutions worked for me.


    I cleaned the Registry, deleted folders, I even went as far as a clean Windows system (8.1) with nothing on it but Freelancer and of course AV software, and yes it has permissions through that and my Firewall.
    All FL, FLMM, and CF EXE files plus set to Admin, All permissions, Read - Write, Compatibility everything I read here. Now nothing launches not SP or MP.


    It seems to update, but then it says "Freelancer is launching" the screen goes black and then kicks back to the desktop with, "Freelancer has stopped working". It does this for both SP & MP.



    Is there a step by stupid step for Dummies that someone who went through this can give me to explain WTF I'm missing here, years in the making and waiting, it finally arrives and I can't get it to work.


    I can't tell you how many times I've installed FL CF 1.9 with out problems, and I always do exactly what it says in the instructions. What I'm I missing with 2.0 that just doesn't want to work even when I read and reread step by painful step of what's in the install folder. ?(:S:help::patsch:


    Thank you in advance.
