I'm not sure if single player related stuff goes here, so sorry if I'm in the wrong place.
I can save fine, but when I launch it again, it deletes most of my saves and there are none in the load menu. I tried putting the saves in again, but to no avail. I have two HDD's and the installation is on one, and the saves are on another (I think) maybe this is the problem?
My other problem:
The engine trails and weapon trails (the two textures that intersect) have gone funny and look ver large and square, I'll post a screenie if I can.
Any suggestions? I will delete all versions and reinstall.
a) Save is always deleted to prevent Discovery Freelancer from crashing. SP is mostly used to check up stuff before going or buying anything. CASH, SHOW and REP = 1 are your friends in SP, as game is mostly designed for this exact forum and server.
As a sidenote, I highly discourage you using that mode for checking up secrets of the Disco, unless you really want to spoil yourself that feeling of Discovery. Use it mostly for checking up the ship settings, like trying out different engines or checking up ships itself before buying them out on multi.
b) Check if you have the latest drivers. That's the main issue in 99%.

Thanks for the Info, Fluffy.
I do have the latest drivers for my 970 (A tad overkill )
and why would sp make disco crash anyway? also, do you know the rep code for the Rheinland Military?
Graphics: go to the NVidia control panel and make sure the 970 is manually selected as the desired GPU for Freelancer.exe.
If that doesn't fix anything, try reinstalling Freelancer and Discovery.
A very old, well-known Freelancer bug that crashes the game on launch is caused when you start any version of the game while your save file directory contains SP saves from a different mod (or vanilla Freelancer). Because it's possible to have vanilla Freelancer and Discovery installed at the same time, this automatic deletion prevents Discovery from crashing after having played vanilla SP (or another FL mod).

rep rh_n_group 1 doesnt work, is it in a different config? i also tried rh_m_group, (Incase of typo) but that doesn't work either.
in the control panel it doesn't specify which gpu is being used, I sometimes use both because I move it from screen to screen.

I'm playing on ATI Radeon 2400 HD, which is considered a very bad graphic card for today's standards. It doesn't even appear as a valid GPU in CanYouRunIt test.
I bet you its forcing it into 16bit color, its common with the dx12 cards r290 amd and 970 and 980 nvidia, a lot of threads for fixing it when it was 4.87 but now with the launcher I have no idea how to fix it myself for my desktop
