I found the solution by try and error, and its an error that may affect tons of other people.
The fact that most here have already played freelancer previously on the current stystem is affecting the startup.
If you have had Freelancer with any mods installed or played previously, the game has still some files left in the Documents/My Games/Freelancer path.
Settings, Controls, savefiles, and so on...
In my case ive played the crossfire 2 mod, which is most likely incompatible.
Entirely clearing out the whole folder mentioned above has solved this issue for me, as the game will then reset settings and write new files in its place on each startup.
My uneducated guess is that there are most likely incompabilities with old setting files, crashing the game as they are not loadable.
Cant say if its just a modded issue or if its also affecting vanilla players.
