So please have a look there.

Oh, okay.

Sorry about that, I assumed too much XD

I greatly appreciate it!

...yes, this is the file I was talking about. Perhaps an attached screenshot would explain better....

It's installed on a portable HDD btw, hence the F:\

Edit: ehh, for some reason the attachment won't download properly.

But besides that, basically what i'm trying to say is that, for me at least, /My Games/Freelancer/PerfOptions.ini does not exist.

Thanks,

I still have one problem though:
I looked at a similar guide that also pointed to the prefoptions.ini file, but I cannot find this file in my default Freelancer directory.

Is it because CF is activated or something?

Edit: And I don't need the CD, right?

Alright, finally got everything running smoothly.

Turned out, my video drivers just needed to be updated for that text to show, go figure. Video drivers always cause me grief.

Next question though:

Is there no way to change the resolution to fit a wide screen monitor or anything? Or even just bring it into windowed mode so that the picture isn't all stretched out?

I remember seeing something like a prefoptions file that could be edited, but I dont see that with the crossfire installation...

Am I just out of luck there?

EDIT: Okay, got CF to work and got into the SP campaign, but something I noticed immediately when I got to the main menu was that theres text missing from a lot of the buttons in the menu.

Also in game, theres a lot of text missing from infocards and windows. Theres some in certain places, but also blanks in certain places, any thoughts?

(and I really appreciate the help so far, guys. Thanks a ton!)

Sorry for the double-post,

but I tried a clean install on a laptop also running XP.... same exact problem..

I must be doing something wrong, but I cant think of what it can be if im following the directions to the letter... even applied the Crossfire patch for the multiplayer button in hopes that would do something...

Any thoughts on the EULA box to get this stuff started? I'm really at a dead end here... tried reinstalling multiple times and all....

Yeah, still didnt see the EULA box though.

would you find it under the process list though? I'm assuming so, but what would it be called exactly? Just to, you know, make sure it's actually appearing...

Well, when I try to launch CF single player from the launch menu, nothing happens after I click the button. No EULA or anything, just like the problem mentioned at the start of the topic.

And yeah, I did a fresh install of Freelancer to apply the mod to and all... just like the CF installation directions tell you to do.

What other details do you need?

(can't check it atm -- not @ my pc)

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me as I have the same exact problem as Luxor it seems. Could you be more specific on the name/location for that .dll? Fraps, for some reason, doesn't seem to want to respond to my hotkeys to play/stop/whatever, so any other solutions would be appreciated. I'd hate to have to record my launch every time anyway...
I've tried just about everything mentioned above, even disabling SLI and reinstalling quite a few times via the guide, but I just don't know... running regular xp 32 bit as well. Just wish I could get this running, wasted a whole night so far...
Also, I've tried setting the file path to not read only, but the status keeps reverting back... maybe because it's off a portable USB 500gb hard drive? I just dont know at this point... *shrugs*

Any ideas?
