  • patch 1.7a

    I know this proberly isnt the right place to post this but i couldn't find the relevent topic.


    I've been trying to find Utopia system now for a while and through good and reliable sources i have been pointed in the right direction and have even been taken to the point in space where it should be while in formattion with another. He jumped out and i didn't due to the fact that i could see the JH or what ever it is that leads to Utopia. I downloaded the lastest patch and installed it. Once i loaded up the launcher though the MP option did not light up even after '20' yeah thats right 20 minutes of waiting. Eventually in my annoyance i restored my PC back by 24hrs and and the FL-Launcher worked again running on the older version.


    Any ideas guys???

  • You can play FL with stick

    I have just been out to the shops and picked up a copy of PC-Gamer (a UK mag) and to my shock and horror i have found a section saying that it is now possiible to play FL with a joystick!!! it reads like this


    ''Scandal! The last great space sim (E.V.E aside) seemed tailor-made for joystickery. Seeing as it involed chasing high-speed starships across intergalactic skies, but inexplicably came without support for them. This can be instantly remeidied with freebie app Joystick Mouse - http://mystikeep.com/shareware/joymouse which enables a stick to emulate a rodent. It wont introduce the force feedback effects Freelancer would so hugely benifit from, though.


    I havent tried this myself yet as my m8 has my copy of at the mo but should anyone actually makes this work pls let me know :D

    I agree there OP Akira was and still is the greatest anime evey made. I owe all 3 release's seen over here in the UK. Original Japanese, Original English and the Revised English as well as Book 1 of the hard back copy comic strip for which there was only every 1500 signed copy's by the creator :D

  • How you discovered FreeLancer

    Well bout 2 years ago i was given a couple of 'old' 486 machines that were in need of some major work b4 i could even have a PC of my own. I called up my Mad Uncle Ian and told what i had been given and his reply was............ 'SCRAP EM' they are out of date piece's of s***. (his own words) :D
    Then he offered to help me by build a PC out of some old spares that he had and offered to by the other parts we needed for me. Few days l8r and i had a AMD Athlon 2200+ XP machine with old and new bits. He said have a look at some of the games he had and if there was any there i liked i could have them. Sure enough, FL was in there.
    I had never heard of this game b4, cause i was total a PS2 user, but thought hey, give it a try.
    Soon i was totally hooked on it. Done SP mode and soon started to get bored. So what next i thought..... BROADBAND :D
    Got onto a few mods, i.e. WTS world, TNG 2.76 and a few vanilla servers and they were ok.
    Then one day i spotted on TLR, CF1.2. And it looked preety dam good from what i had read so i gave it a try.
    Now many updates l8r on and im still on the same server with what can only be said as the best around with some of the best ppl i have ever meet.
    The rest you all know :)


    P.S. Did i mention that i only borrowed the game off him :D '2yrs l8r and i still havent returned it' lmao
