Something very strange is happening with my freelancer.
When i load it, it is fine.
The normal opening scenes(unmodded) first, all three of them, then the discovery opening scene arrives out of nowhere!
I deactivated the mod.Reinstalled FL.Deleted Mod manager.Still its here!
And when i click New game, it just minimizes with the sound and then shortly after it says freelancer has crashed!:(
If you are referring to the start screen, with the pink color and the 'Reunion' logo on it, you are talking about a DATA/INTERFACE/IMAGES/INTRO - related files. Discovery overwrites the files in there when you activate the mod (front_freelancerlogo.tga, startupscreen_1280.tga /+other files ). Deactivate Discovery if you activated it again, go to IMAGES and delete the INTRO folder. Then pick your Freelancer CD and start the setup, while in the setup select the 'Repair' feature.
I'm not the help-desk for Discovery by the way, but I wanted to give you a hand nevertheless.
i'm currently having the same problem, so my question is: did the "repair" help you, because reinstalling FL didnt help me at all: still CTD after the 3 introvideos and the splash-screen.
I have been trying to get back into playing Freelancer and so I reinstalled it and got Discovery all installed, I mainly wanted to play singleplayer to dust off the wings, played 4 hours and saved it, closed the game to change my sound over to the tv launched the game again and my saved file wasn't there... Is there a way to find and load that save or is something wrong? How can I fix this?

I don't know if it can be fixed. If I recall correctly (based on posts I've been reading since 4.88 came out), dslauncher (which is needed to play 4.88) automatically deletes save game files when you start it up. I can only imagine that the 4.88.1 version of dslauncher also does that. I suppose that you could move your save game files to another location, start up Discovery mod using dslauncher, then move the save game files back to their normal location to be able to use them. However, the first time that you start up dslauncher without moving the save game files, they'll get automatically deleted. As for the save game files that dslauncher already deleted, I don't know if you can recover them or not.
