A new computer

[Horon]

I think I hit the jackpot. Over the past...1 day (ITS BEEN TOO LONG!) I have been without a computer. Ol' Reliable ain't so reliable anymore, and he bit the dust last night. I now have multiple problems.

1.) I am running Windows Vista
2.) I have NO way to access my characters.
<strike>3.) I do not have a Freelancer ISO anymore.</strike> I have it on my flashdrive! YIPPEE!

Before you all tell me to PM the admins, I need to know one thing: Can I simply have my FLAM Account ID sent to me? Or just have my characters transfered, Please. I would REALLY hate to have to go through this again... I would have to start in....New York.....I CAN'T HANDLE THAT!

My character(s) are:
[Horon]~Thomas.Merrill (This is the only char I really need...)
[FL]~Thomas.Merrill + [FL]~Thomas.Merrill (I know for sure that at least one of them is not spelled that way, there are I's substituted for L's in there, and I have no way to figure it out. I hope I don't have to pay the admins 50 million credits, I have been through enough in the past 24 hours....seriously.)

Gotta go, Installing a driver.

How can you get these numbers so that you do not lose your account in the event of computer failure?

You can export the registry key to back it up. It's usually located in the following.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Microsoft Games/Freelancer

Just export the whole Freelancer folder (key).

When you need to restore it, simply double click it.

You hate me to say and I did not obey.

His PC died. No way to get them now. Unless, of course, he attempts some convoluted Hive migrations, which would likely not work due to XP/Vista differences.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

If you're only using one account then (obviously as a pro-active backup, before your computer breaks) there's a start menu shortcut that shows you the ID - no registry searching required:

Microsoft Games --> Freelancer --> Examine my account ID

For peace of mind, email it to a webmail account immediately:)The key can then be re-entered the first time you go to Multiplayer after reinstalling Freelancer on a different/reformatted computer.

No longer active online due to a dwindling amount of non-PvP (trading, pirating, mining, etc.) fun in the new version.

[Horon]

The hard drive still works, but I cant seem to connect it to my new computer. Perhaps I can convince the Admins to ban my account until I can retrieve my keys?

EDIT: Yea I backed up my keys to a floppy drive. Unfortunately, this computer doesn't have one. I took it to school to view it and write it down, but...the floppy disk is corrupted..

if he still has his old hard drive just get a portable 500gb HD and use it via usb port, then just transfer you're files over...
