Thank you for all the help, i finally found out what went wrong and got it going. Martind Forlon's suspicions proved to be correct.

When installing the mod i had changed the installation path to "Freelancer Mod Manager/mods/Crossfie1.9" instead of the default location ("path:\Freelancer Mod Manager\"). This screwed up the activation for some reason.

It seems to be running fine now

EDIT: Regarding the post on the mod activation step (index.php?page=Thread&threadID=22127).
When i activated the mod there was no popup window with options described in that post. Im going to look into the problem i had with changing file permissions .
---------------------------------------------------------------------

alright so i did a full re install as per the instructions linked above but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have helped.

Since i was using the wrong executable before (launching vanilla) my problem has changed from a font issue to an install problem.

I should mention that i was unable to change the read only file permissions, whenever i applied the changes they were rolled back, ive seen this happen before and im not sure how to get around it.

Anyway:

• When starting crossfire i got a runtime error (53) Cf_CL.dll is missing.
• I manually moved the dll and the launcher started.
• it downloaded some files.
• I tried to launch single player which failed without an error.
• second time the launcher had been updated.
• when trying launch a singleplayer game i got hit with an application crash error "CFLauncher has stopped working".

error details:

The fact that i had to manually move a dll file makes me concerned about the installation completing successfully, is there a log file? I ran all files as administrator with my antivirus (avast) turned off (gave me trouble the first time around)

ty.

I searched that folder for ttf fonts but didnt find any

i
might have gone about this the wrong way aswell. Ive been using the
vanilla exe file to start the game so far. I noticed that there is also
an executable in this folder: \Freelancer\mods\Crossfire1.9\EXE\

using it however yields this error: "Runtime error: 53 file not found: CF_CL.dll" .

edit: Martind Forlon:

ah, found that thread as well but it didnt provide much info which helped me :/. i had already changed the install path to the proper one (i think, the post about correct paths was somewhat confusing) and have no fonts in either crossfire folder.

Edit:
I moved the dll over which got the launcher working, game doesnt boot hower. By now im thinking the install i probably broken and i wont do any more tinkering with it until ive done a full reinstall later tonight. Ty for your help so far, Ill let you know how it went.

Hi.

Im trying to install freelancer and crossifre 1.9 on windows 7 x64 pro. When launching the game the fonts in the menu are so small they're unreadable. Ive searched the interwebs for a solution but havent found any which worked.

These are the steps i used to install:

• installed freelancer 1.0
• installed freelancer mod manager 1.31
• installed crossfire into the "Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\Crossfire" folder.
• activated the mod with the mod manager.

Things ive tried to fix the problem:

• moved fonts: AGENCYR.ttf AGENCYB.ttf and ARIALUNI.ttf from the cd to my windows/fonts folder
• used the font resizer tool (index.php?page=DatabaseItem&id=1078)
• Edited several ini files for 1920*1080 resolution gameplay.
• downloaded and installed font: agencyfb-bold.ttf

Ive found several posts from people having the same problem but these are all the solutions ive come a cross, any help provided would be appreciated, thank you
