ive been running discovery non stop for a long time and well today i hit a problem that i can not fix. i clicked on freelancer and the main menu said it was 1.0 despite the fact my mod manager said it was 4.84. then when i tried to deactivate the mod it came up saying that is won't properly activate please look in the log i did and it came up with this:
Error: FLMM has determined that 'Discovery Mod v4.84' won't properly deactivate.
Warning: unable to restore 'c:\program files\microsoft games\freelancer\exe\freelancer.ini' because no backup exists! (test run)
can some one please help me so i can get myself up and running again
I had that problem last time i used FLMM to deactivate the mod. It still deactivated though, and I just reactivated it like usual and ignored the message. Havent had any problems since.
Open FLMM, hit tools, hit restore backups or just push Ctrl+R. Then try to activate the mod again. If the problem persists, do a clean install of everything.
the warning you get is just telling you that it cant completely deactivate the mod because the mod overwrites original game files when you first activate it. It's fine to reactivate it again because doing so fixes all the files needed to play the mod.
It's just trying to tell you that you cant go back to 'normal' freelancer just by deactivating the mod.
i am using FLMM 1.3 but i can not deactivate it at all. i also tried to renistall it and it was still the same. when i tried to delete the mod nothing happened. it is still not willing to deactivate.
