Preventing Freelancer from blue screening/instant-restart during game-play


About:
This tutorial is designed to show you how to turn off a buggy option that causes Freelancer to spontaneously restart your computer or crash to the desktop during game-play. This will show you how to switch this function in question off, lessening Freelancer crashes and in some cases, preventing them all together.

Information:
An Microsoft Office Word 97-2000 Document can be supplied via Personal message if you wish to store this tutorial for further reference, or to view it on a different computer without an internet connection as you work though the tutorial.

-The option in question is 3D sound. This will show you (In a lot of detail) how to switch it off.

How to:

First step. Simple Open Freelancer, and a menu in Figure one will appear.
Navigate to options listed in this menu.

Figure 1

Within the Options sub-menu, there is a an Audio tab. Click this tab to get the available audio options.

Figure 2

On the bottom left hand side of the Options menu page, there is a tick box labeled 3D Audio as seen in Figure 3.

If it is currently ticked, un-check the tick box as seen in Figure 4.

Once you have un-checked the 3D Audio check box, a dialog window will appear. Click YES to save the settings as seen in Figure 5.

Once you have clicked YES to save your settings, exit the game as you would usually do. Restart your computer. Open Freelancer again. And check if the box is stilled ticked or not. If it is not, try playing the game. The amount of random uncalled for crashes should have stopped.

Your done!

Enjoy!

NOTES:
