Well, you made me delete 2,5h of progress. You are allowed to give me a hint on a real treasure. How do I recognise those...are there even any? There is a point in exploration, i hope.

Ah, dammit.... well I couldnt loot it nor destroy it...only shoot health down. Hope that doesnt destroy my gameplay.

Well, I have the same problems, but I never play FL before. But I found out that I am more successful with faster rate of fire weapons (8.33). Im in Britanian Space and the Corrsairs are veeerrry hard with 4.0 weapons. These guys are like rabbits!

So... thus this Thread exists now, I may ask some questions. Not noob questions like "where to buy da best blasta?", but things I find...and cant understand...

Take this: Im exploring Britanian Space, currently in DUBLIN. I kick ass there with my Trident. On the NW edge of the Hood Asteroid Field, I saw a small X appear on my map. Hell, did I find an epic treasure?? It says "Secret Storage Container", but when I get there the container seems to be some kind of ... sakrophag. Very tiny. I shot its health down, but it is undestroyable and it didnt drop anything. WTF is this? Anyone know what Im talking about??

Me want treasures!

Hi.

I read in another Thread that positive Feedback makes you guys stay motivated, because there may still be some stuff to fix. So I want to tell you the following:

I have the enormous luck to be totally new to Freelancer. Never played through the game once. I played a year ago the original and 1.9 a bit, but I didn't want to keep on playing, because 2.0 was in development. Only got the game mechanics to know and played a bit in Liberty space. ... and the 1.9 "no pause" even in SP was a gamebreaker for me.

And now I play this awesome game with this awesome mod for the first time - and man, it is fantastic. The universe is so gorgeous, every tradelane flight I love to watch it. Yes, game is difficult for me. Damn, I had to restart some missions in the beginning several times. But I love it. Even repeated trading is fun, because you included all the cool new and expensive ships you desperately want to fly. After the hard times in Liberty, where I got myself a Swashbuckler for effective trading, story missions were very hard. In Britanian space now I finally could spend my money in this Trident ship of yours. Oh, and the bachground stories... I dont know what is original and what you added... but I visit every dockable thing in space and go to the bar to read news. "Rheinland blockade in Omega 7. Is war comming?" - Hell, I don't know, never played this before! I feel myself so lucky to experiance this great game the first time the best way possible. I wonder where the next mission will lead me.

My deepest thanks for bringing Freelancer to near perfection. I don't know how all the other FL-Fans experiance this, but I can assure you that for a guy first time playing this modded game it is incredible.

Oh weel, Thank you ^^.

Reinstalled everything before read this comment. Now FL is fullscreen by default.... buuuut i can't see the intro movies now.

Hell, solving one problem brings up another....wait, I know theres a name for that.... ripple effect?

Well, maybe you fixed it? I think a auto update did the thing and the options are now readable. "Adjust to desktop resolution" showed up.

BUT there is still a problem. I cant select the checkboxes. They stay unselected.

Above of that, my real problem is that the game stays in window mode and I can't change it anywhere. Want fullscreen, because the window is fixed size and it is below the bottom desktop line, so i cant see my healthbar.

Hi.

At the CF Launch Menu, where you can select SP or MP, there are the Options at the right. There you only can select Shader Options and General Options.

The General Options (in my case) are very narrow and I can't tell if I can selected one or not.

I guess the first one is something like "NO FL SP" ??? Start game with sandbox without Storyline? Because I hat the first two times problems with SP by starting with lvl 18 and no storyline... which I didn't want to. After the third start the storyline appeared, but I have no idea if it was because of wild clicking at these narrow option boxes there.

The second option is "Wondow Mode", right?

Well, what a bad luck. Technical problems with your net connection, someone important at vacation, someone important not online for some reason. But don't be sad, we all can wait a bit longer.

Still I have a question. You said that the singleplayer is up and running - ready for release. You do not intend to release the SP only? Because I bet some players, like me, only start playing the SP (with its nice Pause function) at first. I mean, the release may take even longer if you detect more bugs during these MP-Tests now. Or does the current luncher problem effect the SP too? Nevertheless, its your decision, but I, of course, would love to see a SP-only release, if MP will take longer. No stress, I'm not moaning.

OOOOOHH! I found the Shade! Some more trading I guess, but that's ok.

Nevermind

OK. Now to a completely different "noob" question:

I know Crossfire is hard. But currently I am shocked with how bad tricks I have to beat the SP Missions. Currently I have to guard a transport in California to Reasearch Station Willard. The transport gets attacked and the freaking attackers destroy me in my Liberty Defender within a few seconds! The only thing I can do is to activate my Cruise Engine and fly in circles, hoping I keep their attention for the others to shoot them. I can enter combat mode for a few seconds to maybe destroy a damaged one, but thats it. TOO hard with Defender!

Before that I earned 1 Million through trading with the Swashbuckler freighter. After that I wantetd to buy a good Heavy FIghter, because combat is very hard with the Liberty Defender.
I looked in the Wiki and wanted to buy a Falcon or Valkyrie from Rheinland. - But the Gates are closed! I seems I have to stay in the Liberty system. BUT I can't find a better Combat Ship than the Defender! And no, I don't want to keep trading until I earn 35 Million for a Gunboat.

Is there a better Combat Ship in Liberty early on (lvl5) better than Defener? Maybe I missed it.

Boah, thank you NucNuc!

The tipp with windows+m is perfect!

Also, you convinced me play 1.9. I read that it is possible to play an "Open Singleplayer". I think I get to know the CF Universe this way and will play the full Storyline after 2.0 is out and maybe hotfixed once or twice. Maybe I have time to install and play it this weekend.

Hi. I registered to this Forum just to see the two answers for this question

My case is quite weird. I am a total fan of Space and Sci-Fi-Games. Played the crap out of X3 and tons of Space Strategy games, etc. But somehow I never managed to fall over Freelancer.
So I bougt that now and played a little. It's awesome, especially for a game this old. But I also googled for Mods, because I know great games have great communities and therefore Modders.
Crossfire seems to be the perfect mod to get the best out of this game in my very first singleplayer run.

And now I recognised, after so many years, the best mod will become even better! So of course I dont want to play my first epic playthrough with 1.9 if the perfect 2.0 is knocking at the door.
The big reason for me to play 2.0 -> I read you cant pause in 1.9, but in 2.0 it is possible again, because you can select Single- or Multiplayer gameplay. Is that correct? Pause is very important, guys!

To keep it short: I never played Freelancer before and I want to play it with the best athmosphere possible. But I need this mod to do that... soooo I'm interessted on every hint on the possible release.
I hope the "Zero Bug Bounce" Curve is low though
