Step 1. Installed 4.85 beta 4 via FLMM.

Step 2. Updated to Beta 5 via DSUpdate.

Step 3. Caused my game to not be able to run WITHOUT the mod ("Invalid username or password to login to the server", or some nonsense). Also could not log onto the FL 24/7 server because it was "48.25". Ran DSUpdate again, and it downgraded my game to 48.25.

Step 4: Did a clean re-installation of Freelancer and FLMM.

Step 5: Install 4.85 Beta 4 once more.

Step 6: Attempted to update to Beta 5 via DSUpdate, but failed. Was missing, apparently, the files "DACOM.dll", which I promptly added. Then I am missing "zlib.dll", which I added also. Then I was missing "Movie.dll", which I could not find, so I gave up on DSUpdate. It was a failure.

Step 7: Manually install Beta 5, which still doesn't work.

Step 8: Re-install all programs - Freelancer and FLMM.

Step 9: Install 4.85 Beta 4.

Step 10: Skip DSUpdate and install Beta 5 manually. Game finally works.
