Freelancer Support::Windows 7 problem
Solved the problem.

It seems there wasn't a problem in game itself, but rather with windows OS. I solved the problem by picking a tip from Microsoft community, to run sfc.exe, to cehck system files for problems. System file checker found some problems and fixed them and now FL works fine.

Sound & Windows 7 [by janas006]

Freelancer Support::Sound & Windows 7
Hi, I'm at a lost so I'm really hoping someone can help me out.

When I first installed Freelancer there was no sound after the first 3 videos (2 producer and the intro) and the menu loaded. I've managed to get some sound running, but the first video for a new game doesn't have any music and the voices after the missles are fired don't play. Then once the game moves to Planet Manhattan there are no sounds. There are some sounds in the bar, but just voices, no sound effects.

I've searched on Google a lot and tried several things:

- I've installed and uninstalled a codec pack
- run a codec analysis tool to reset my audio codecs to windows 7 default
- run a patch to change the (german looking name) codec from the advanced to the professional version
- enabled and disabled 3D sound
- copied the l3codec file into the freelancer directory
- run the exe in admin and compatability mode
- installed the unofficial patch (Unofficial FL SP Patch 1.40)

Once upon a time I did have some of the X series of games installed, I read that may have some affect, but I'm not positive. They are all uninstalled now.

I'm wide open to suggestions, I'd really like to get this game working to tide me over until Star Citizen comes out. Thank you!

Here are my system specs:

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (6.01.7600) 64-bit
DirectX: 9.0c + 10 + 10.1 + 11
CPU name: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor

Greetings,

Searching around the web for Freelancer graphics I didn't see a lot of quality artwork,
so I decided to create some including all the dockable ships and wallpapers.

They are located on my support webpage for Freelancer Universe 24/7 per the following link.

Now if I can find a mod to let me fly the Capital Ships in Single Player mode I could
add them to the graphics.

Here is a solution to allowing a player to launch a local server and connect to it under Vista, normally you cannot as your IP address will still appear in IPv6 format even if you have disabled it on your network adapter/s.

You must add a setting into your registry to resolve the issue

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters] "DisabledComponents"=dword:00000001

Copy the above code into a new text document and rename the extention from .txt to .reg

Then double click the file to enter it into your registry, after a reboot you will be up and running and able to access your local lan server!

I have attached a file with the already prepared reg file inside, download at your leisure

Source: Windows Vista Disable IPv6

For some reason best known to my laptop, no matter what i tried to get FLServer to display my ip for my server, it didn't work, as all it did was display my IPv6 address even though it was disabled. The above solution maybe a Vista solution, but also works on W7 64bit and now i can finally connect, great job!

Re: Which Server tools work with Windows 7? [by Daywalker]

Freelancer Support::Which Server tools work with Windows 7?
dsam is trying to get the gamedata files of ISO for the modded (and/or vanilla) parts of the installation. It is grabbing the player files from the default directory afaik - my advice would be a complete new installation of freelancer, ioncross (without the need to use it, just to register the path) and dsam (additional probably dspm). All that should be done under the same user with admin privileges enabled. This way the server (modded or unmodded) should run without a problem. If additional problems occure you may try to run the flserver with one core only or build a proper compatibility setting. Our Server is running on WS 2008 rc2 in 64 bit mode as a windows service this way - it should be equal to a win7 64 inst. imO. Best is (thanks to the developers of dsam and dspm) after starting a user the programs access the running services instead of building a new instance.

I personally would want to see FL running under a Linux Distro (I use Debian), but it seems that installing mods is not possible. If i'm not wrong, Wine can't import/use some dlls.
The only thing I managed for now is running a LAN Disco server under a virtualized XP.

But maybe my informations are out-dated. I suggest you to ask here:

Yes it's true, I was inexpert at messing with encounter zones back then and our modding team was drying up so I didn't have the play-test team I would have liked (to say the least). I'm working with Thunder and his gang to try and achieve some extra stability for their server though.

Yes, unfortunately I was able to discover that my problems related to me being and idiot.

As I was looking around as an Admin before really opening the server up I'd revealed the full map for my character. This then obviously counts the character having visited the wrecks even though it's brand new.

Thought I'd best follow up in case someone else can learn from my hours of wasted thought.

Freelancer Support::players cant see server and crashes
i had been running discovery 4.8.5 plus update 3 sucsessfully for about 2 weeks. my players were having problems as the minable ores were selling for the same as the standard comodities. so i had made a modified goods.ini to increase their price to the listings on the wiki. i had aquired all the original mod files from the main discovery mod site (http://discoveryfl.com/downloads/). it was the process of the unmounting the old mod in flmm that failed and caused me to have to reinstall at first that led to all of this.

an update to the situation, and one of the wierdest things i have ever seen in the world of computers.

the OP was the last thing i did before going to bed that night. that atempt to host the server that had been at 13 minuites made it to 7:20 before crashing. when i woke up in the morning (8hours later) i restarted it agian and confirmed that my players still could not see the server. aprox 6 hours after that i had players reporting they could see the server but could not log in as they still had 4.85 loaded and the server was still 1.1. got home another 6 hours later instaled and tested each item one piece at a time with no problems and the server is now running with no propblems with 6 connections as i type.

the only adverse affects from the situation:
my main player account was deleted.
another player lost 4.5 million credits.
and somthing about the new minecontrol flhook plugin is preventing rocks from dropping anything.

i have never seen a computer problem that fixed itself through failure before. a most bizare expierience

download from fl-guide.de

http://www.fl-guide.de/downloads.php?id=3

Just put the *.fmpa into the shizzolancer directory, run shizzolancer and you can choose the account.

For not creating a misunderstanding: shizzolancer is a german windows tool - you can also extract the ID and put it in every other account switching tool by open the *.fmpa file with a text editor using the above format. If you have a tool which is running with tiny Tux you may migrate it easily.

The MP ID is stored in the Registry of Windows - if wine supports registry functions you may also overwrite it by a script or directly.
