After some time after installation, game began to suddenly crashes. Crashing is absolutely random, for example, when I trying to open inventory menu or trying to look at the sun. First, game just closes and I see my desktop, but freelancer.exe process is still working, then dxdiag.exe process appearing (in task manager) and after some time game just crashes.
Check and update your video and audio drivers. Also check FLSPEW.TXT, located in C:\Users\(name)\Appdata\Freelancer on Vista/W7 systems, after a crash, it may yield some info.

I didn't see any useful info in file. Switching to win 98 temporary solved the problem, game didn't crash for about 2 days, but then began to suddenly crash again.
C:\work\builds\dalibs\dalibs-build\build\Src\Shading\TextureLibrary\TextureLibrary.cpp(1355) : WARNING:General:load texture: file contains an old or unknown format, ignoring envmapbasic
This entry concerns me. It is one of the most basic texture packs in the game, applied to virtually any model. That it fails to load shows that you either:
- Modded the FL install (in which case you need to undo that)
- Got corruption going on your file system (run a disk check, reinstall FL, reinstall Disco)
- Got some hardware issue that prevents proper loading of these textures. In which case you need to run a diagnostic utility to stresstest your video subsystem.
