Okay, let's try another aproach, we need one file D3D8.7z
With it you need to put this file into
*:\*\*\Freelancer Discovery\EXE
Decompress it obviously, jsjs
Now, let's talk about it
It will make your GPU use this file to convert the calls of DX8 (which anything above 2015 GPUs don't recognize at all) to something DX9 they can talk ...
it need show like this
Try it after you get the file to see how it drives ...
The setting would force to use the GPU to render, instead only the CPU Mode (which would be slow) of course has a handicap ... it will "Lock" at the framerate of your monitor, best if used Full-screen mode, if you have more than 144-155FPS should use a stopover like RTSS Software to reduce the amount of FPS rendering on screen
In Windows 10 the setting is on:
Settings > System > Display > Graphics Settings - From there you look for a Classic Application on route and put the .exe of the discovery freelancer game and Goddamint! you should render on GPU :3 (Please don't use AA from GPU, i tried with Nvidia ones and it literally blow the game with a nice Crash)
