Hi Guys,
i have recently installed FL again along with FLMM and have added the Eagle Utopia mod. I have enabled this and it work fine FL boots up but when i try to launch from being docked FL crashed.
I have created a new char incase it was to do with the jump hole bug but still crashes.
I am currently running VISTA, all anti virus is diabled.
i had it working fine the other day but after trying it again it crashes.
Can anyone please help
Thanks for you time M

***LATEST UPDATE*** Again i have totaly reinstalled fresh, FLMM and added the EagleUtopia mod. the game starts fine and boots up i was playing for hours last night not a problem. Again today i have gone to launch freelancer and it does not boot up, again i get the DOS screen saying do not close, and the game will not boot up. The error message i have located on the DOS screen is Could not find c:\program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\FreelancerStarter.exe Access denied - c:\program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe Access denied. Access denied. Any one have any ideas as to what this means and why i get it. i have all antivirus disabled and i also have all adminastrator rights. i have not changed anything in the folders or tried adding any additional mods. PLEASE PLEASE HELP, I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO REINSTALL A 4TH TIME Thanks M

Hello,
one question to understand what could have happened:
Did you restart your PC after you installed the game or did you play sucessfully without a restart after the installation?
I ask because some Spy/Malware detection programs or Antivirus disable suspicious exe-Files after the restart.
Did you try to setup an additional new admin account to install and play the game already?

Hi,
means that you are able to play after a new installation without a restart and you are not able to play after you did a restart?
I suggest to reinstall the game again this way:
1. Deinstall the Modmanager 2. Deinstall Freelancer 3. Delete the Freelancer folder, which is left at your harddrive after the deinstallation of Freelancer, manually. 4. Restart your PC 5. Create a new (second) Admin account 6. Install Freelancer 7. Install the Modmanager 8. Install the latest EU-Mod version
and try to play it at this new Admin account again.
If you have Malware/Spyware/Firewall/Antivirus programs running check if they block one of the programs you need to run Freelancer.

Just deactivating and reactivating the mod should work for you, be sure to inspect your freelancer folder after the dos box closed itself. Files to look for are FreelancerStarter.exe and Freelancer.exe, please check if those are present and what their file sizes are and post that info here.

Hi Eagle
Thanks for your reply, i asume somthing is deleting them as i get the following message Could not find c:\program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\FreelancerStarter.exe
Access denied - c:\program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe Access denied. Access denied.
I cant check now but i will check when i get on tonight.
I have been advised that it might be my anitivirus (Kerperski) even though its deactivated.
I have been advised to uninstall that and try AVG instead then do a fresh install.
Your thoughts ?
Thanks M

If you haven't allready, download and install the very latest version of our mod. Also when after 2nd launch you find that Freelancer does NOT start... try reactivating the mod instead of a full reinstall (restore backups in FLMM, then activate mod). Before you reactivate however... open up your explorer and check for the presence of the files I mentioned in my previous post... don't make any assumptions, be 100% sure of their existance and post back

Avast has given me no problems It is available free for home users and seems to be an excellent AV. It updates frequently, and (crosses fingers) has kept me from getting the nasty new worm.

Looks like avast it is Eagle i have used your way around and back up the files before starting FL then re add the mod and activate and seems to have worked fine last night, i will try it again tonight and hopefully that will do it. I still could not see the files that you wanted me to check on??? Thanks M

You might not be able to see all file extentions, Freelancer.exe will be listed as application. Other files to look for are Freelancer.dat and Freelancer.bin. See if those 3 are present and list their sizes here (right click, properties). Only in case you're still having the same problem ofcourse
