A problem with Armor/Shield bars

[olenkarhu]

Open your shortcut and add the following command line:

-dx

So it shows up like this:

"C:\Games\Discovery Freelancer 4.86.0\EXE\Freelancer.exe" -dx

Mind the space between the '' and -dx

Thanks for the quick reply, but the problem still persists. I did as told, and it seemed to change nothing.

why manually patch? doesnt need it surely

Because despite my internet connection being more or less stable, it is very slow, so I downloaded it externally and extracted into the folder.

As for my specs, they are the following:
Pentium D 920, 2.8ghz
2gb of DDR2 RAM, some low frequency crap
Radeon HD 5670. I'd also like to mention that these were also the specs I played the game with half a year ago, when the problem did not exist. Any more tips?
