i tried -dx command line, but still crashes i tried windows 2000 compatibility mode but it crashed, but now its only been crashing as i dock or undock.
also i couldnt find any information regarding whether my graphics card is ok with dx 8.
so where can i get a direct x 8 driver. oh and also my graphics card can use dx 10 which is what iv currently got installed.
oh and another thing i dont understand why it doesnt crash in single player but then in multiplayer its like, im guna crash now just to annoy him as hes in the middle of a fight.
i changed the compatability mode to windows 95,but still crashes. when it returns to the desktop dxdiag opens. dunno if im getting closer to fixing this problem or not.

Only crashes in multiplayer ? Do a control test and play the SP for 1 hour. Just to make sure.
Have you tried on different servers? It would be best to test on a wide scale and narrow down the specific symptoms of the issue.
From what I have been reading Dx 10 doesn't support DirectPlay...which is needed for FL.
Though I doubt it can be the single most answer because others have Dx 10 and are able to play. Edit: Directx 8 wouldn't be need as I discovered 9 should work however. I wouldn't advise altering it at this time due to the nature of your card is to support 10 and..only 10.
I must ask do you have any edited files and personal settings attached to your FL installment?
nope i have no idea how to edit any freelancer files, only game i know how to mod is rome total war.
ill try a 1 hour test on single player and try a different server ill report back as soon as i can.
oh and i suppose i should mention this when, i say single player i mean vanilla single player. so for all i know it might crash in discovery single player so ill test the discovery one cause iv played the vanilla single player for well over two hours at a time.
and from what i see in the FL directory, last time when it was modified was 2003. So i think it has some issues with the 64 bit windows. Like me. I guess that all with these kind of problems have 64 bit based OS. Am I right ?
LE: First i tought that the game crash only when i encounter another player in space. But no, i am playing for more than 15 minutes already, and i met few people online, and the game is still running smoothly. I will keep researching this problem.

Just in New York. Mostly around Manhatten in Trading routes.
All other Systems are fine.

Myself and all my friends I've been playing with lately have been having the same issue. We would enter the New York system trade lanes and we would all crash at the same time. The issue only seems to happen the most in New York but once we manage to get out it will sometimes continue. We were doing trade runs from Pennsylvania to Honshu and if we went through jumpholes and avoided New York altogether we wouldn't have the problem for the most part. However New York happens to be the center of Liberty space so it's pretty inconvenient. I think it's a problem with the mod as well. As for a fix I am still stumped.
