Freelancer on laptop

[TheMillers]

Is it possible to play Freelancer at laptop with 1280 x 800 pixel sized monitor?

There won't be any problems in doing that. Just add -d1280x800 to your Freelancer discovery shortcut. That won't work on Vanilla Freelancer though, only with the Discovery mod activated and updated with at least update 1.

I am mostly playing on a Aspire One netbook with 1024x600 resolution, and have also played Freelancer Discovery on an old Dell Latitude C600 at 1024x768 without any problems.

I don't think the issue is the screen... usually laptop have graphic cards with not enough memory. You should just try install it and check.

Freelancer's graphics engine runs fine on older hardware. All current (as in made the last 4 years) laptops have far greater graphics capability than the machines available at the time Freelancer was released.

The Dell laptop mentioned above, only has 8 MB graphics memory, and runs Freelancer fine. It just can't cope with all the bells and whistles turned on in the eyecandy configuration, but it works.
