Play through Campaign

My son wanted to play through the campaign but it does not work with Discovery installed. It skips cinematics when you start a new game and the story seems to be completed.

Is there an easy way for him to play through it or do I need to uninstall Discovery?

Any help is appreciated!

You should be able to play if you download a new instance of freelancer. I recommend downloading the HD mod for Freelancer though so it can go with newer resolutions.

.This was my solution, as I had the same issue a while back: This assumes you have no Freelancer instances installed.

Create this folder structure in your games drive:
  • Freelancer
    • Discovery
      • Directory
      • Mod Files
      • Accounts
    • Vanilla
      • Directory
      • HD Edition
  • Install Freelancer into Freelancer > Vanilla > Directory
  • Copy contents of the "Directory" folder and paste into Freelancer > Discovery > Directory
  • Now you have separate installs for Vanilla and Discovery
  • Grab the installer for Discovery from Moddb
  • Install the Discovery Mod into Freelancer > Discovery > Mod Files
  • Grab the HD Edition for Freelancer
  • Install the HDE into Freelancer > Vanilla > HD Edition
  • Create shortcuts for both installs
  • Backup your Discovery Accounts, save them in Freelancer > Discovery > Accounts

Benefit here is that HDE save games aren't wiped by Discovery, as they are kept in a different folder:
Documents > My Games > FreelancerHD (instead of "Freelancer", which Discovery wipes on launch)

Hope this helps!

Excellent write up! This should be pinned somewhere!

I did uninstall discovery on a secondary PC so he could do the campaign, but being able to switch between them would be ideal!
