Two problems with my new system which I got yesterday.
1. here is the error message I get trying to unpack Discovery 4.84 beta 5:
access to C:\program Files\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\Discovery484beta5\EXE\common.dll was denied.
Error: unable to extract a file from mod archive 'Discovery484beta5' File possibly corrupt.
I've downloaded the file several times and get the same message.:crazy:
2. freelancer plays fine, all I can say is WOW, :ohmy:almost a three D effect.:shok:
But when I go to Multiplayer, it stays at 'Connecting to Global Server', and nothing happens.:blink:
Since I am running vista, I took off Norton, and installed AVG free
Turned off Windows Defender, no change.
any suggestions short of removing Vista?
scruffy
I play on EVE, name is Zak Vanlor, currently i fly everything T1 Gallente and some Minmater ships. Also flying the Hulk, (massive ship built to mine)
I am in Gallente Mining and manufacturing, a small player corporation centered on the industries.
been playing now since December 2007
BUT: i love playing Freelancer, and my current character is the Finitey's End.
Don't try to unzip the file. Just manually remove the ".zip" from the end then double click and it will launch the mod manager.

have you made sure that freelancer is not running since common.dll is in use
also make sure you deactivate the previous mod first before adding the new one.

1st problem is solved, Discovery 4.84 Beta 5 is up and running, but I sat there for nearly two minutes waiting to log into the server, and I still just see the message, "connecting to Global Server"
any ideas?
