1. Uninstall disco and freelancer and any other mods (some mods interfere with disco)
2. Go into your my documents and delete any saved folder that you see of freelancer/disco
3. Check your virus checker for any quarantined “dsace.dll” and remove it
4. Temporary disable “live” protection of your virus checker, and also whilst at it, make sure you don’t have an over protective firewall
5. Reinstall freelancer to default folders and then install disco to default folders
Eg mine is C:\Users\*your login*\AppData\Local\Discovery Freelancer 4.88.1
6. Go into your virus checker and tell it to allow that ENTIRE folder and all in it
7. Try disco before enabling virus checker
That SHOULD work, if it don’t then its something else, an open port or something
If that works, re enable your virus checker, if it still works, then its done and shouldn’t flare up again, if it now stops working, and your virus checker has re quarantined the dsace, then you have a naff virus checker
one of the best ways to TOTALLY uninstall a prog is to use Revo uninstaller (you can download a free trial period version from their site), not only does it uninstall, it also scans all file/folders and registry for that prog and gives you an option to delete them all, a total wipe
if after that all and it still doesnt work/load/run then its your comp/virus checker
