Installation Notes
To install Discovery mod, use Freelancer Mod Manager v1.31. If you already have an earlier version of Discovery installed (4.73 or higher) and don't want to use FLMM, you may simply overwrite files in Freelancer game folder. Just rename Discovery4.77.zip.flmod into Discovery4.77.zip, unzip archive contents to your game folder and overwrite files. IONCROSS folder is needed only for server operators, so you needn't copy that one to game folder (but - no harm if you do).
While reinstalling Freelancer, using FLMM to install Discovery is essential.
Reinstalling Freelancer while updating Discovery is not necessary. However if you encountered problems or just want to make sure that everything is correct, better spend 5 minutes and reinstall the game.
Warning
Download this version to play on our server. Do not try to log in with older 4.77 modification.

No one else reported this problem, so it's probably something related to your installation. Maybe your download is corrupt? Get the files one more time and try to reinstall.
You may rename the file after downloading (remove the .flmod part of it) and test the archive in WinRAR or WinZIP to be sure that it's OK.
Lancersreactor release was delayed because Gmail failed to send Discovery mod files as an attachment. I've resent it, so tomorrow it should be there if everything goes all right this time.
