Hello everyone. As we are now in 2020 it's about time we finally knew why Freelancer crashed. Freelancer is eternally temperamental and crashes for seemingly no reason. I've been working on something for Freelancer: Aftermath, which would bring us this functionality. I think it's beneficial if this was shared so we can maximise its effectiveness. You can go over and grab the files from here https://files.aftermath.space/AftCrashHopper.7z. As many of you know I already shared this over with the rest of the FL community as a trial which worked pretty well, so with the latest update I think it's ready to go out.
If an error code is known it will tell you what the error it is, or at least the believed reason. All errors are logged in the root folder in a file called "AftCrashLog.txt". In this file is information regarding addresses is stored. If an error code is unknown, please report it to me via https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iHqv...sp=sharing, with the reasoning it happened. If you do not know why it happened, please don't report it. Reporting error codes allows everyone to get, as I have a list that I'll keep updated with the known error codes.
This change makes the game require an internet connection, as it needs to pull in the address list from the server. To disable this requirement, pass "-disable-logger" as a parameter to the game. Let me know if you have feedback, I look forward to hearing it. In the case of Discovery, don't use this if you're just a regular user unless the devs implement it. This is a development tool and the anticheat would kick you if you used this on the live server.
