Trouble launching

[Raven]

Hi all,

While trying to get into the game tonight I have been encountering a difficulty. I can get on the server and chat but when I try to launch from whatever station I am docked at the game crashes. Aparently this is happening to Darkwolf as well. The only thing that has changed on the system from this morning when it was working is a small update that ran when I opened Xfire. I reinstalled DirectX 9.0c with no effect, as well as deleting the Freelancer directory from the My Documents\My Games folder.

Once I have launched with a particular account and try to rejoin the server under that account it goes right to the crash. I can still get on with the charactors I have not tried to launch with and talk. If anyone has any clue about this I would sure appreciate hearing about it.

If seeing an FLSpew.txt or DxDiag.txt would help anyone figure this out those can be sent.

Darkwulf is having this problem with all his characters. He's uninstalled and reinstalled freelancer, and it still won't work. From what he's telling me, it freezes right after launch, then closes Freelancer. He's even deleted his characters and remade them to see if it would work.
From what it seems, its the exact same thing as the problems Raven is having.


Eldfrey is having a similar problem with one of his characters. "Manticore_Trader"

Not real sure what it indicates, but after unloading the mod I am able to get on 1.0 servers and the game works fine.

Since its effected more than one person and the stock game works, perhaps its some sort of corruption on the profiles section of the server? Not really my area of knowledge at all unfortunately.

I've reistalled everything from scratch (again.... grrrr), cleaned out all folders, and have the same problem. I think we have corrupt accounts :(

I can only say that it's all very strange. I've checked character files, they seem to be fine. And FLSpew.txt is strange too, cause it indicates problems with standard, unmodded equipment.

I'm trying to find out what causes this thing.

I cant lounch with my char too.I made new char and game crushes when it is loading.Thats bad, i cant play :( I hope u find what causes that really soon.

Did anyone of you change starting options for the mod while activation. E.g., set player looting to 'yes' or 'no'?

I had the exact same problem yesterday. What fixed it for me was that a new update was realeased for 4.78 yesterday around 3:00 pm est and whatever was changed is causing it. I looked on the post for the 4.78 relase and went to the last post Igiss posted about the update and downloaded that file from the link. When I installed it and activated it Freelancer worked fine for me. Try it and let me know if it works. I just got on and everything was working fine.

Its the patch witht the credit cards. And what are they for I'm confused by this.

Well here's an interesting development. I reinstalled Freelancer and tried using the new account ID. Same problem, so it doesn't appear to be the accounts. The test character was fine until I launched, and then the game crashed.

I've downloaded the update several times already, everything was working fine yesterday until the update. Nothing has changed on my PC apart from Freelancer.

Is there a chance I might not be getting the latest 4.781 final from the link? What's the best way to verify this file?

Open goods.xml in notepad and look at the top of the file. If it starts with

<script>

<data file="data\equipment\market_commodities.ini" method="sectionappend" numTimes="0]
<section>
[BaseGood]
</section>
<source>
MarketGood = commodity_credit1, 0, -1, 150, 500, 0, 1.00000
MarketGood = commodity_credit2, 0, -1, 150, 500, 0, 1.00000
MarketGood = commodity_credit3, 0, -1, 150, 500, 0, 1.00000
MarketGood = commodity_credit4, 0, -1, 150, 500, 0, 1.00000
</source>
</data>

you've got the correct version.

If it has no commodity_credit, then you've got a wrong version.
