I've activated the mod using FLMM but when I start up Freelancer, the main menu screen comes up with "Discovery Mod 4.85" and everything yet it still lists my version number as 1.0.
It doesn't allow me to connect to any Discovery server because it says that I don't have version 4.85. How can I fix this?
Now for some questions:
- Are you running Vista?
- Are you running in an administrator account or a standard user account?
In general you probably need to do this:
1. When opening Freelancer Mod Manager to activate mod do not double click or click from start menu, rather right click the item and select Run as Administrator (this is the critical step!!)
2. If you see any other discovery mod versions in FLMM, click the delete button.
3. Click "restore backups" in FLMM.
4. Then double click on the downloaded discovery485.zip.flmod file to load it into FLMM.
5. Now try to activate the mod.
And when you try to run Freelancer, you need to be running Freelancer as administrator.
When you click the normal Freelancer shortcut -- right click it and select "Run as administrator"
