Discovery Freelancer Mod Installation Guide

[Liberty.In]

While torrents are in background, I still get fast download - https://i.imgur.com/9nERG29.png

Hmm, maybe the problem was on my internet, since I now rechecked everything. And everything is working fine for me!

One way or another, we can assume that there is nothing more to discuss, since the problem has been solved.

Hi.

Again I am unable to Launch due to error code L01.

In the past I have re- installed successfully on the links in the forum in the installation Guide.

Unfortunately I am unable to locate those links this time located in the Installation Guide and only found one from 2015 on page 1 of this thread.

Hoping someone can assist

Regards

Hello I followed all of the installation instructions on my Windows 7 PC. Everything went fine until I launched Discovery Freelancer and then, when connecting to the default server, the app crashed and Norton 360 reported that it found a threat and needed to restart my PC. After it rebooted, I found the log report in the Norton Security History, pasted below. Apparently there is a SONAR.ProcHijack!g45 virus in this app somewhere. I couldn't find out much about SONAR.ProcHijack!g45 online. Anyone else experience this or have some insight as to what is going on here?

tl;dr Norton doesn't like .exe who are acting a bit weird and sees a threat always and immediately. Disco's FL exe acts a bit weird with the launcher connected and all, I guess. I had this issue too.
Just force Norton to restore it all, make an exception and expect to do the same thing following every patch.
Alternatively, say bye to Norton.

Thanks for the quick response. I reinstalled and excluded the folder. I'm on the RP server but I don't see distances for anything in my flight UI. Did a quick search on forums and don't see a thread for it. Any suggestions are welcome.

Nevermind, figured it out. Was because I was running it at UHD. Display is fine at 2560x1600.
