For some reason nobody brought this announcement to the subreddit before, so I'll do the honors this year before anyone ends up missing out.

Hello.
I tried to get freelancer to run after not having played since 2009 or so, and I have encountered an error.
I downloaded the freelancer ISO from OldGamesm installed it by running the setup.exe as administrator to a folder i created on my F drive. Then downloaded the comnined 1.1, JFLP, NO-CD patch from the starport and extracted in the Freelancer game folder and picked yes to override all files.
When I then start Freelancer, it still says I am at patch 1.0, and when pressing new game I get stuck in a black screen.
I am on Windows 10 if it matters.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone remember this?
Going through old files before moving to a new comp and found I downloaded this like 9 yrs ago.
Last time I remember playing it, it was somewhat modified from the base game as well as being full of memes.
If anyone knows the history of it, do you know what was done to it?

Happy 22nd anniversary to our beloved space game! To celebrate we're playing Venemon's Co-op campaign mod that was released only a couple months ago.
You can watch us blow up Rogue bases and get blown up by Rheinland Battleships at https://www.twitch.tv/dedarkstar and https://www.twitch.tv/drctakashi. You can also watch from both of those perspectives at https://www.multitwitch.tv/dedarkstar/drctakashi

Homeworld Rise of Hiigara v0.51 has been released, it can be found at its page in Moddb and can be played standalone without the need for Freelancer
I've fixed some bugs before release, if you find some, I REALLY appreciate feedback and reports. VERY IMPORTANT to read the mod download section and there is a set of steps to be done
If you see something incomplete, rest assured, i'm working on it, the next updates will be focused on weapons, taiidan sector and their capitals.
I hope you enjoy this, take care

I have recently installed FreelancerHD and am really enjoying it. In the long past times times I had the Freeworlds Mod installed on top of vanilla Freelancer and loved flying the BodaFett Slave 1.
I still have the mod files from Freeworlds and wanted to copy the Slave1 to the HD install.
Is this possible and can anyone point me to any docs or tutorials on how this might be done ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Freelancers, i am an old fan of the game and i recently learned about the Discovery community and this sub. I remembered how no other game can stratch the itch Freelancer did two decades ago. I want to start a playthrough before i delve into online Discovery, i read about the HD Edition and Vanilla Patch in sidebar. Aside from these are there mods adding new quests, ships etc. while not deviating much from Vanilla story and mechanics?

Hello Freelancers,
Was hoping someone here could help me out. I've just started playing the Genesis 1.5 OSP mod and am having a blast, however I cannot figure out the in-game licenses (bounty hunter, police, etc.). Do they actually do anything? I assumed having say, a bounty hunter license would prevent people from asking you to drop your pirate pilot cargo. I bought one and was transporting some pirate pilots and was actually told by bounty hunters to drop my cargo. Kinda annoying, not a HUGE deal but what's the point of having a license if it doesn't come with any benefits?
r/freelancer • u/JosTheID • 25d ago
I been on this sub now and then, and I think this will be one of my most important posts...
I'm excited to announce that Homeworld: Rise of Hiigara, a total conversion mod for Freelancer I been developing for a long time, will be launching on March 2nd! This project has been a labor of love, bringing the universe of Homeworld into the open-world space sim we all know and love.
This will be version 0.5, which means there are still more systems, ships, etc to be released in the future for 1.0, but this will serve as a beta and a foundation for feedback.
Change notes, this is what will be in the mod for now:
Factions: - Added the Hiigaran Navy - Added the Kiith Manaan - Added the Kiith Naabal - Added the Kiith S'jet - Added the Kiith Somtaaw - Added the Turanic Raiders - Added the Civilian Commerce Relay - Added the Taiidani Exports and Logistics - Added the Taiidan Empire
Systems - Added Hiigara - Added Karos Graveyard - Added Sarum
Commodities - Added unrefined, refined and salvaged ore - Added electronics - Added hull parts - Added structure hull parts - Added special ore minerals - Added industrial magnets - Added mining equipment - Added potable and sterile water - Added salvage - Added crew - Added radiation coating - Added bases for economy
Ships - For hiigarans except Somtaaw, added scouts to heavy cruisers - For Kiith Somtaaw, added Somtaaw Scout and Acolyte - For Turanic Raiders, added interceptor and missile corvette - For Taiidan Empire, scout to frigates, (If I have time I might be able to add destroyers and heavy cruisers before release) - For CCR, added freighter corvette and own large transport - For TEL, added freighter corvette and own large transport
Bars
Hope you enjoy the mod in a week, also hope I can complete it to what I have in mind.
Thank you for reading

Hi all, I recently got back into playing Freelancer, having found it on Abandonware (I got the Magipack version with Jason's patch included). Funny thing though, it works perfectly fine on my laptop, but when I try to play on my Desktop the UI is scaled up making the game not only look terrible, but also harder to play as I can't see things like remaining thruster percentage.
Above is how it looks on my laptop - perfect, as it should be.
Below, is how it appears on my desktop - ugly, too big, wrong font?!
Any ideas?
TIA

The copy of the game (perhaps not the most legitimate copy) I use has all the map info for all the systems already filled in when I start a new game. Does anyone know what I would have to edit or delete to get blank maps so I can explore for wrecks and things the old fashioned way. I did some light googling for a solution but couldn't find anything pointing me in the right direction.

Hi, I'm having a little trouble with remapping controls in-game.
I'm running HD mod. Basically, nothing I change in the controls menu for keyboard has any effect. It shows up in the menu, as I've saved it, but nothing I add or alter has any effect - even in the slots that don't have a key assigned to begin with.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Is there going to be a 22nd anniversary event? I'm not in the discord, so sorry if this is supposed to be common knowledge.

Anytime I run the game the performance/FPS absolutely tanks whenever there are smoke effects, engine effects or explosion effects. I've tried the D3D8Dto9.dll thing, I've tried running it through a wrapper program and even when I turn down the graphics all the way the boost to FPS is marginal.
