Freelancer crashes at log on with ID.

[RoyalUlsterRifles]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me?

I start Freelancer pick my server then on picking which ID to use the game crashes to desk top.

I think a program is deleting DSAce.dll for some reason but I cannot find out which?

maybe you anti-virus , Firewall or Windows Defender in Windows 8.1

It'll be an anti-virus. Windows Defender, AVAST, etcetera. You'll want to disable them or add an exception for DSAce.dll, and click the 'Restore DSAce' button in the launcher.

Windows Defender is turned off.

I have SpyHunter 4 & Malwarebytes Anti-malware but they have Freelancer as allowed....

May have to roll back the last update

thats not going to fix it

look for my post on how to sort it

Try these steps

1. Uninstall disco and freelancer and any other mods (some mods interfere with disco)

2. Go into your my documents and delete any saved folder that you see of freelancer/disco

3. Check your virus checker for any quarantined “dsace.dll” and remove it

4. Temporary disable “live” protection of your virus checker, and also whilst at it, make sure you don’t have an over protective firewall

5. Reinstall freelancer to default folders and then install disco to default folders
Eg mine is C:\Users\*your login*\AppData\Local\Discovery Freelancer 4.88.1

6. Go into your virus checker and tell it to allow that ENTIRE folder and all in it

7. Try disco before enabling virus checker

That SHOULD work, if it don’t then its something else, an open port or something

If that works, re enable your virus checker, if it still works, then its done and shouldn’t flare up again, if it now stops work, and your virus checker as re quarantined the dsace, then you have a naff virus checker
