Whoa that Bastille is a scary place. Other than the normal edits to make the game resolution widescreen> The only thing it could possibly be is the swag pack 0.4 & 0.5 update. Could that be triggering the anti cheat somehow? Is it not compatible with 4.88.1?
1) Go to my documents > my games > freelancer and open prefoptions in notepad. At the bottom it will say [Display] and underneath size= change it to 1680, 1050 or what ever widescreen
resolution you use. Note the space in between the 1680, 1050. Now save and exit.
2) Now go to c: > program files > microsoft games > freelancer > DATA . Once there open cameras in notepad
Delete whats there and paste the following.
Notes about FOV:
For 16:9 you can use 68.88 as the FOVX value.
For 16:10 you can use 63.50 as the FOVX value.
This will prevent the UI stretching over the top and bottom of the screen.
[WinCamera]
fovx = 63.504809977813375
[CockpitCamera]
fovx = 70
znear = 2.000000
[ChaseCamera]
fovx = 70
[DeathCamera]
fovx = 70
Now save and exit.
3) Now go c: > program files > microsoft games > freelancer > DATA > FONTS .Once there open fonts in to notepad. Now delete all whats there and paste the following.
Now in the same folder open rich_fonts in to notepad and delete and paste the following.

Now save and exit.
Now you are all done any ready to play in 1680x1050 ( best for either 20 or 22" wide). Note the options will state the wrong resolution but it will be in 1680x1050.
Also NOTE , for this to work when you load in to game you must enter in to space once for it to work is just lift off. Not sure why this is it just is.
[edit] Supported Resolutions
Resolution Supported
1280 x 800 (16:10) Yes
1440 x 900 (16:10) Yes
1680 x 1050 (16:10) Yes
1920 x 1200 (16:10) -
2560 x 1600 (16:10) -
1024 x 576 (16:9) -
1024 x 600 (16:9) Yes
1280 x 720 (16:9 -
1366 x 768 (16:9) -
1920 x 1080 (16:9) Yes
that one looks fine except the fovx was 68.88 instead of 54.431999 (68.88 is the format for 1920, 1080. thats why that was changed.)
I just changed them both back to 54.431999
Also it looks like I had changed the display resolution in the PerfOptions.ini from 1024, 768 to 1920, 1080. I changed that back as well to the original 1024, 768.
