Let's face it. Freelancer is a game that has a lot of down-time. Staring at the ass-end of my ship as it traverses trade lanes isn't super interesting, and I like to distract myself in those moments.
Running vanilla Freelancer through Steam alleviated this problem greatly, as I can Shift+Tab my way into a web browser within the game without Alt+Tabbing out of it.
Sadly, since Discovery's executable has a launcher between Steam and the game, Steam's interface doesn't work within the game, thus I can't access a browser whilst playing.
Does anybody know a way of making this work?
I've tried using the executable in the EXE folder directly instead of the launcher, but Multiplayer never gets beyond the "Connecting to Global Sever" message. It hangs there.
