So it's not that big of an issue, however it is a WTF moment. For some reason my discovery installation is flawed. The problem is if I don't use the DSupdate.exe to launch freelancer then every new item/system/ship/commodity does not have a name! It just refers to an IDS value. The only thing i can think of is that my freelancer.exe did not integrate with the discovery.exe. I've tried uninstalling freelancer and disco mod, deleting all the leftover files, and reinstalling everything fresh yet with no success. I am using FLMM 1.3 so nothing's wrong there. It's not much of a problem because i can play it with the DSupdate, but it is a little annoying because Fl companion gives IDS values as well.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Oh and a little backstory to this problem:
It's weird because freelancer and discovery worked fine on win 7 and then i had to reformat because i got hacked. And because I had windows 7 I just copied all the freelancer files over from my windows.old file and played it with out reinstalling everything. That worked fine except my font in-game was all f'd up(it was really huge) so i reinstalled to fix that problem and then this one came up.
It's just one hell of a mess :mellow:
