Ok, so I've checked everywhere else and did not see this issue posted so...here's my story:
I had to reload Freelancer/Crossfire because I thought I screwed something up in the options for the graphics. Maybe it doesn't recognize SLI (I have NVidia cards). Ok, no problem. I'll just do a clean install of everything for Freelancer Crossfire. Follow the directions...mess up on a step. Screwed up. Did this three more times and on the third time, I had chosen my mod options but FORGOT TO RESTART and a file was missing...so I had to do ANOTHER fresh install. (Yes, I felt like an idiot at this point) But now that I followed everything to the letter and I go to activate, I now have no Mod Options to choose. No cursor choosing or Trent outfit choosing. It just goes straight through activation right to the launcher. Help! What did I not do right?
