Hi, I'm new to Discovery and I am trying to create a character, but I am having a problem using the Disco launcher. I would have posted in the Lost Ship/Account thread, but I am also posting because I am asking for assistance using the launcher because I think I am doing it wrong and my wrong actions are causing my problem.
I installed Freelancer. I installed the most recent Disco. Freelancer is installed in my My Programs x86, but Disco is installed in my Games directory (if having FL in my MP may be a problem?).
My characters aren't saving. I started a new character on a new account two nights ago. When I first loaded the Disco launcher, I created an account that I named "Don". I selected that account and loaded the game where I created the character. However, after I clicked Launch Game in the Disco Launcher it created a "My New Account" account "Extracted From Registry". I believe I logged in with my "Don" account highlighted. I played for a bit after creating my character named "Lance_Charger" and then I logged out.
The next day, I opened the Disco launcher and I deleted the "My New Account/Extracted From Registry" account because I thought I was using the "Don" account for my characters. Then I logged in and discovered I had no characters saved. So I logged out again and deleted the "Don" account, reloaded the launcher, and it created for me a new "My New Account/Extracted From Registry" account. I created a new character named "LanceCharger" and I played for a bit.
Now, I've logged in again with only the second "My New Account/Extracted From Registry" in my launcher highlighted (this is my only account) and the game didn't save my "LanceCharger" character either.
So, I have a couple problems. Would someone explain to me the proper way to use the Disco launcher, please? Do I create an account? Do I use the "Extracted From Registry" account? How do I get the launcher to save my characters?
Also, once I figure out how to properly use the Disco launcher, would an admin mind migrating my two characters "Lance_Charger" and "LanceCharger" over to whatever account I end up getting set up with, please? Lance Charger is my porn name so I'm kinda attached to it and I'm running out of spelling variations.
Just to make sure, you use the "DSLauncher" located in your "Discovery Freelancer 4.88.1" folder, right? Not the old Discovery Launchpad. Because I don't even know what "Extracted From Registry" is or how it would name an account like that in the proper launcher.
I think so. It looks like it from the Shortcut properties. I attached a screenshot.
I think I ended up solving my problem. I created an account named Don2 and now I created a character named "Lance-Charger" and quit out of Disco and it looks like that character is saving.
Since it looks like I figured out how to work my launcher, would an Admin mind transferring my "Lance_Charger" and "LanceCharger" characters to the account with the "Lance-Charger" character, please?
I also posted in the proper Lost Ship/Account thread now that I figured out how to make the launcher work.
Please bear with us old guys! Sorry! We're slow with these new fangled technologies. And thanks agin!
