Cruising Speed only works in Single Player. It can be left in place as Multiplayer servers override this value. Edit the constants.ini file in the Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Games/Freelancer/DATA folder. Search for the EngineEquipConsts section and insert the following BELOW the line CRUISEATTENMODRANGE =. For a first time player, is it best to play single play Freelancer completely vanilla, with Discovery mod, or another mod all together? User # posts.

Widescreen resolution[edit]
If you want to play Freelancer in widescreen you'll either have to edit several INI files or use a third party mod or patch. 1blocker 1 4 4. Below are instructions for installing Jason's Freelancer Patch as well as manual ini edits if you'd rather go that route.
Jason's Freelancer Patch[citation needed] Verlag font mac. If you only plan on playing singleplayer Jasons Freelancer patch is a good option. You'll only need to download a file, put it in the right place and make a small edit to another file and you will have the best widescreen support you can get in Freelancer. Convert qbw file to csv. If you plan on playing any multiplayer it is recommended that you do not use this option as it might be detected as cheating. Instead you should go for the INI editing option described further down. Do note that some of the servers that are still around use special mods, some of these mods include their own widescreen support.
You're done. Your install of Freelancer now supports widescreen resolutions. Start the game and select one in the options menu. Be sure to restart the game after changing from a 4:3 resolution to a Widescreen. |
Edit Ini files[5]
If you have a 16:10 screen use the following instead: Port 0001.hub 0004 driver for mac.

Issues unresolved[edit]
Compatibility problems on modern operating systems[edit]

- Graphics issues resulting in a black screen or general crashes.[citation needed]
- There can be sound issues causing voices or music to temporarily be muted.[citation needed]
Issues fixed[edit]
Discovery Freelancer Wiki
- It is sometimes necessary to start a new game, delete all your saved games or reinstall Freelancer in order for the following fixes to be successful.
Crashes on launch[edit]
Install DirectPlay[citation needed] |
Use Freelancer - Windows 8/8.1/10 fix[citation needed] |
Sound issues[edit]
If there is either no sound or voices or music cut in and out the following fixes may solve the problem.
- Most sound issues can be traced to problems with the Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec. Uninstalling and reinstalling this codec as described on Microsoft's website can fix the problem. Other people have had success in both Windows 98 and Vista 32-bit by copying the l3codeca.acm file from
%WINDIR%system32
to<path-to-game>EXE
and rename it tol3codecp.acm
.[6]

- Another possible fix is disabling 3-D sound in the options menu.
