Ok, so I DL Discovery beta 3 blah blah blah, did my usual thing, and low and behold It crashed as i started the game, so I re downloaded the Mod, and Re-installed the game.
That seemed to work, FL loaded just fine, was able to connect with the world server, no problems, even got onto the character loading screen on the Disco Server.
Made, my character name, and tried to enter the server, and It crashed to windows. and got a major error warning, So Im to tired to try and figure this out, Was there a patch i was supposed to DL, and If there is please post a linky cause i don't want to spend an hour looking for it.
Thanks

Oops, it looks like a few people are having this problem.
(I'm lucky I'm ok :D )
Angel I think you've done right, ie. the only required file is the main Beta 3 mod, there are no other patches.
Maybe a complete reinstall of FL is in order... too many patches & mods have taken their toll.
Other than that there must be something insidious in the mod, which is touchy about certain system configs or graphics cards. Although I can't see how....
IF you reinstalled the game and it didn't work, try doing a clean reinstall. That is, uninstall, delete everything FL uninstall program left behind, and reinstall.
Other than that i don't know whats causing the problem.
Maybe windows install is too old (1 year+) and time to format has come?

Most errors like this are results of incorrect mod deintallation. This might be FLMM error, or your own mistake of some kind. Whatever happened, Freelancer clean reinstall is needed. Actually I always keep a folder named Copy of Freelancer with all original files intact, cause during numerous testing runs FLMM tends to corrupt something sooner or later.
Lordy Angel, If someone as computer literate as you is having a problem, thank God a
card carrying dummy as myself, has not encountered technical issues.
The only thing I can add is, I seem to do a re-install of FL before every major mod update
starts, and I have so far not had anything major occur. Just the bloody McAfee whingeing
about changing protocols, something a change back to Norton will rectify.
Hope you get sorted soon, the [GoR] have got up to speed pretty quick and are awaiting
your return.

Well, Ive completely deleted my FL fold and re-installed 3 times, re-DL the mod 3 times, cleared out any files it would have a problem with, and still nothing.
Guess I'm gonna have to wait for the Full version of 4.81

Weird thing though... I don't have any probs, my XP install is over a year old... only thing, when deactivating the mods, I use 'Restore Backups' I don't deactivate the mod... takes more time but it should be safer.
