Windows 10 and Freelancer - Plan-B - 07-30-2015

short Version: - it works -

many ppl asked me if our beloved FL will work with Win 10 - since yesterday the official and free upgrades are released - and the 1st Computers were updated - i only can say i did expect more Trouble - but nothing!

well after upgrading win 7 or 8 to Version 10 - all went fine and all looked ok - starting the DSLauncher - i first got a heard attack when the message appered "to Launch this program direct Play is needed - click to install" but i clicked install - 1 Minute later game started.

Resolution - ok
Sound - ok
switching the id's by using reg files - ok
DS account Manager - ok

so if you Need to upgrade to win 10 - no fear FL will work

Greetings Plan-B

Window 10 is free because that's how the corporation tracks all of your personal information now.


RE: Windows 10 and Freelancer - Gulryz - 07-30-2015

Microsoft also made all other windows so if they wanna track you they can do that now as well

@ Cryer Tech and Devil.....

Proof please?

If you don't have proof that even the most sceptical person will believe, then don't post rumors please.

Windows 10 may or may NOT be the OS I upgrade to next..... all the way from XP(SP3), but before I do, I want to know as much as possible about it.

The people here who actually use it *will* be giving their opinions of it, probably in this thread and hopefully there will be people who I have 'known' from this board for a long while posting.

There are another group of people I will be getting info from on Win 10 as well, that play games even OLDER than Freelancer and I trust many of them even more as I have known some of them for over 10 years.

Sorry about the rant. :p

It's your opinion. Everybody is entitled to it. But it is too good to be true. What's Microsoft hiding under that free version of Window 10. (bandit)

Look up the semi-AI voice-command thing they're going to release with it.

You mean Cortana? Oddly enough, I already have Cortana on my Nokia Lumia (Windows Phone 8.1).
I have it, but I haven't activated it yet as it requires an internet connection and I don't turn that on with my phone unless I really need to.
