Game works for me now. Here is what I did wrong and got banned acc for that. I marked it with yellow: Quote:Set huds shift to corners procedure. What you need to do is: 1. Add 'hudshift.dll' to the list of DLLs (under Libraries) in dacom.ini, located in Freelancer install directory EXE 2. Move hudshift.dll to Freelancer install directory EXE 3. The Starport is a community site for all Freelancer game and freelancer multiplayer content by Microsoft Games Studio and Digital Anvil, listed as an official fansite from the game Freelancer. It contains Freelancer game modifications, help on modding, tutorials on game play and various tools. Also provides a large discussion board.

Widescreen resolution[edit]

If you want to play Freelancer in widescreen you'll either have to edit several INI files or use a third party mod or patch. Below are instructions for installing Jason's Freelancer Patch as well as manual ini edits if you'd rather go that route.

Jason's Freelancer Patch[citation needed]

If you only plan on playing singleplayer Jasons Freelancer patch is a good option. You'll only need to download a file, put it in the right place and make a small edit to another file and you will have the best widescreen support you can get in Freelancer.

If you plan on playing any multiplayer it is recommended that you do not use this option as it might be detected as cheating. Instead you should go for the INI editing option described further down. Do note that some of the servers that are still around use special mods, some of these mods include their own widescreen support.

  1. Download JFLP.DLL.
  2. Extract to the EXE folder within the game's install folder.
  3. Open dacom.ini within the EXE folder.
  4. Add 'jflp.dll' at the bottom of the '[Libraries]' section (under '.flmaterials.dll') and save.

You're done. Your install of Freelancer now supports widescreen resolutions. Start the game and select one in the options menu. Be sure to restart the game after changing from a 4:3 resolution to a Widescreen.

Edit Ini files[5]
  • Open %USERPROFILE%DocumentsMy GamesFreelancerPerfOptions.ini
  • At the bottom it will say [Display] and underneath size= change it to 1920, 1080 (or whatever resolution you want to use). Notice the space in between the 1920, 1080.
  • Now save and exit.
  • Go to <path-to-game>DATA. Once there open cameras.ini in text editor.
  • Delete whats there and paste the following:

If you have a 16:10 screen use the following instead:

  • Save and exit.
  • Go to <path-to-game>EXE. Once there open freelancer.ini in text editor.
  • At about the 9th line down it says the resolution you're currently using for a game. Change it to size = 1920,1080 or what ever resolution you want.
  • Note: To disable startup movies, in this same file go to where it says [Startup] and put a ; at the start of all three lines that begins with movie_file. Example: ;movie_file = moviesMGS_Logo_Final.wmv
  • Now save and exit.
  • Go to <path-to-game>DATAFONTS. Once there open fonts.ini in text editor.
  • Delete all the content of a file and paste the following:
  • Save and exit.
  • In the same folder open rich_fonts.ini in text editor.
  • Delete all the content of a file and paste the following:
  • Save and exit.
  • Now you are all done and ready to play in 1920×1080.

Notes

The camera FOV changes for widescreen play might not be applied properly when you first launch and load an existing game causing the UI to be outside the screen. As a workaround, after the launching the game press New Game, once the New Game cutscene starts press F1 and load your game from there. The FOV settings seem to be applied properly as soon as a space scene is played, like the one at the start of the New Game cutscene.
It seem that many UI elements have their width set in percentage of screen width. With the above INI edits the game will play just fine in widescreen but some UI elements might not fit inside their containers such as the power, shield and hull indicators, and the news ticker.

Issues unresolved[edit]

Compatibility problems on modern operating systems[edit]

Two primary issues when running on modern systems:

Graphics issues resulting in a black screen or general crashes.[citation needed]
There can be sound issues causing voices or music to temporarily be muted.[citation needed]

Issues fixed[edit]

It is sometimes necessary to start a new game, delete all your saved games or reinstall Freelancer in order for the following fixes to be successful.
Save

Crashes on launch[edit]

Install DirectPlay[citation needed]
Use Freelancer - Windows 8/8.1/10 fix[citation needed]

Sound issues[edit]

If there is either no sound or voices or music cut in and out the following fixes may solve the problem.

  • Most sound issues can be traced to problems with the Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec. Uninstalling and reinstalling this codec as described on Microsoft's website can fix the problem. Other people have had success in both Windows 98 and Vista 32-bit by copying the l3codeca.acm file from %WINDIR%system32 to <path-to-game>EXE and rename it to l3codecp.acm.[6]
  • Another possible fix is disabling 3-D sound in the options menu.

Video Issues[edit]

Microsoft lists several solutions for video issues.

'Freelancer Fatal Error: Freelancer did not detect a 3D capable video card in your system' error[edit]

Follow the Widescreen resolution steps to force the correct resolution.[7]
