One of the affected players has found a possible workaround
R3curse Wrote:move directplay8.dll from EXE folder to somewhere else (desktop or whatever)
Launch game (scaling will be messed up) and try to join multi. Game will crash.
Change render settings from dx9 to dx8 then back to dx9
Copy the dll back to EXE and launch game

Yeah we're likely to ship a fresh directplay8.dll in the imminent hotfix, and then if there are still issues then troubleshoot from there.

If you're still seeing problems - in the folder where you find crash.dmp (the path is shown on the crash dialog), take PerfOptions.ini and copy it to Documents\My Games\Freelancer\PerfOptions.ini

This should now be fixed
