and now that I’ve saved up my 1.8 million credits, the jump gate has vanished again.

sorry ladies and gentlemen, I hope you all have fun but I’ve had enough.

off to find another mod

Ok, so I finally sorted it. I uninstalled and reinstalled everything. Last time I had to ‘retry’ a heap of files. This time I made the entire freelancer folder able to be overwritten.

Viola! The custodian jump gate appeared and, oh my, the visuals are amazing in this mod. Here I was thinking there were a few touch ups but that’s it. Everything from space to the lasers to the stores on planets has been done up. Wow, just wow. Thanks everyone for your advice, I get to put it into action now

Everything except where custodian is I can see it’s meant to be near Rochester base, but it’s not there when I search the area.

If going to this one area is necessary to have any chance of surviving, maybe this is not the mod for me. I’m just here to have fun, I’m not interested in becoming the best dog fighting champion in the state.

Thanks for the tips mate. Hopefully one day I can make use of them. I can’t even find the jump gate/hole to custodian

all the forums and maps say it’s near Rochester base but I have zig zagged the entire area. Even bought a deep scanner, nothing at all.

I just went to doc, got told I was entering the cue, then got jumped by some outcasts and was dead by the time I hit escape.

im giving this mod another few hours and of things don’t improve I’ll probably be uninstalling it to be frank.

Thanks for all the help everyone. One last question, is there a specific tutorial for this mod.

I can’t find access to custodian anywhere. I’ve seen maps with it labeled but I’ve now purchased a deep scanner and criss crossed the entire are without it appearing. I’ve now also restarted 6 times are being jumped by pirates along a tunnel and dying in 10 seconds.
there seems to be an unusually high barrier to entry for this mod, maybe it’s not one just to play and enjoy?

Thanks mate, I’ll give that a go. I was trying to use a heavy defender, it wasn’t going well

Yup, I uninstalled the old version in case there were going to be any conflicts with an old rebalance mod I was playing. Then downloaded from abandonware games and reinstalled.

In the end I just had a cup of coffee and kept hitting retry over and over again. Seems to have worked so far.

Damn hard game though, I traded around until I had 1.5mil credits while still in early stages of the SP campaign in Liberty, purchased the best ship and gear available this early and still get killed in 10 seconds Hopefully things improve soon, otherwise this may not be the mod for me, which is a shame since I have read so many good things about it.

Hey guys,

here’s a question, is crossfire meant to be this hard?
holy dooly, I’m still in liberty for the sp campaign, I have 1.5mil credits from trading and have bought the best combat ship and weapons etc available.
i also take off from a station or hop through a jump gate to be ambushed by enemies and am dead in 10 seconds even with full shield batteries and nano bots,

what gives?

all the reviews state this is an incredible kid with heaps of content, but only a couple of hours in and I’m about ready to uninstall and try something else.

am I doing something wrong?

Hey guys/girls.

I’ve scanned the FAQ but no luck there.

I uninstalled my old FL and did a fresh install, I run the Crossfire application but 2/3 through I get an unending run of ‘this existing file is marked as read only. I hit retry and it seems to fix it but then I get the next one. I’ve been rapid mouse clicking for 5 minutes now trying to get through it.

I must have done something silly here somewhere. Anyone know what it was?

Legend. Thanks mate

Hey team, are there any fresh links to the discord? The ones above don’t seem to work anymore?

Also, any advice on where to find your combat guide/tutorial video? I’m struggling coming from vanilla FL

Thanks in advance
