Followed instructions here: index.php?page=Thread&postID=333847&highlight=#post333847 Game then launches and plays fine for 1-5 hours until a ctd...
But have problem that once CF1.9 ctd's which it does after every few hours of gameplay, or I exit program, CF1.9 'nor even vanilla if I deactivate mod, will work. Complete uninstall/reinstall then required. Which is getting old, as I've done it 5 times so far. Do not have this problem with vanilla. But who wants to play vanilla? ..I've amassed >5million credits bagging Rogues and selling them to the Texas prisons--saving up for that amazingly hot VHF for sale on Pittsburgh. Or the +40% Power Booster on Los Angeles...prior to the Escape From Liberty mission sequence. So I'm in too deep to bail. But had I known ahead of time of the stability issues..I would've looked for a more stable mod.
So any other ideas on how to make CF1.9 more stable?
Btw: Have Never gotten option to customize CF on startup (choices as specified in mod readme). Unless I've goofed as to how they're accessed.
Also: When launching first time, always get a "FL doesn't recognize your GPU" popup. Am using a brand new MSI laptop with an NVIDIA GTX660M.

Great mod; I undestand how much work is involved as I was part of the modding team for X3's DDRS & DDTC mods for 3+ years.
Re: FL, I was a fan of the original Big Daddy mod--back in the day, but find his storyline mod too much. Crossfire is much more balanced, fun and polished. Played several hours last night and got totally hooked.However, when I tried to fire up Crossfire today...it wouldn't launch. Am on Win7; but have set FLMM v1.31 to compatibility mode for XP SP2, ran it as administrator, etc. as I did last night But no dice.
So de-activated 1.9; then reactivated. Now even the vanilla game won't start.
Am assuming somehow I've corrupted file structure and need to do complete uninstall/reinstall.Question: Can I make backups of my v1.9 Saves and then paste them into my Cf1.9 saves folder once the mod is activated (so I don't have to start over every time this happens)??
Question: There are quite a few slightly different forum entries on how to install/activate/start FL, FLMM with Win7. Is there an OFFICIAL CFmod Thread on this topic (so I can get it right)??
Question: Does CF store saves in its' own folder (like BDSL mod) in My Games/Freelancer ?? Notice that some of my CF saves are not present in the list of saves...
