'Why are you doing this?' - Frankly we're struggling to make ends meet here especially since the site got more popular. The only way we can think to cover our costs is to run ads, but if so many of you keep blocking them..

'But I never click ads!' - Doesn't matter, you should only click them if they interest you. We get paid based on the number of views AND the number of clicks.

'You ruined the site!!!1! I want to send you hate mail!!' - Sure, click here.

Another fact - We have the software and the power to completely block adblock users from our site, but we're not going to, at least for now. We figure most of you would like to support us and you only installed Adblock because of other sites that aren't so considerate with their ad placement. Please, don't punish us because of them, in the seven or so years I've been a blogger/webmaster I've ALWAYS considered the need to balance monetisation with reader experience. I want to build an audience not send them away.

So go on, whitelist us and any other site you love. If it wasn't for ads, the internet would lose a whole chunk of really great niche content like this, which would be a real shame in our opinion.

Now, go ahead and read the page if you want to, but wouldn't it be much more convenient if you just whitelisted us? :)

Space, the final frontier. Huge, desolate, empty. The perfect setting for a videogame? Lots of people seem to think so. In this space trading and exploration game you get to be your very own Han Solo and fly around the galaxy, completing missions, trading commodities and combating mysterious aliens. Despite failing to live up to the hype on its original 2003 release, the game was generally well received by critics and fans alike and is kept alive today by a small but passionate group of players and modders.

Installation

Installing the game is easy, just place your Freelancer game disc into your computers optical drive and follow the on-screen prompts. If the games installer does not start automatically, browse to the CD in computer/this PC and run the Setup.exe file manually. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t appear to be available on any digital download services, so if you want to play you will need a copy of the original retail CD.

Patching

For a game of such ambitious scope, Freelancer has surprisingly few official patches. Just one such patch was released for the game and this contains only some basic fixes for multiplayer mode. Even so, it can’t hurt to install it, so download it here and install it by simply running the executable file from inside the zip archive.

With the patch installed, the next step is to fix the games copy protection. Unfortunately Freelancer uses an outdated form of copy protection (Safedisc) that is incompatible with Windows 10, and Windows 7 and 8 with the latest security patches installed. Unfortunately we’re not able to link you to patches that remove copy protection for legal reasons, though you may wish to check for a workaround on the site which hosts the patch we linked to above. As always, take extra precautions when downloading any kind of cracked or hacked executables from the shadier parts of the internet.

The last step is optional but highly recommended. There are a number of fan-made patches and fixes that aim to correct problems that Micrsoft/Digital Anvil never got around to fixing. According to our research, the most commonly used of these is the Freelancer Quick Fix patch. You can obtain this patch here. To install the patch, simply run it and follow the on-screen prompts.

That’s all that is required for basic functionality, we will have a look at some optional extras later in the guide.

Tweaking visual quality

With Freelancer being such an old game, you should be able to set all the in-game settings to their highest quality without degrading the games performance. Start by loading the game and from the main menu, choose “Options” and then “General”. On this menu you should be able to set the games resolution. Choose whatever suits your monitor the best. Note that Freelancer does not support widescreen screen resolutions, though there is a workaround that we’ll show you later in the guide that can enable them. When setting a resolution, be sure to choose a 32 bit colour depth mode. These modes always end with “x 32”, so as long as you see that, you’re all set.

With screenmodes configured, go back to the games options menu and choose “Performance”. On this screen you can simply make sure every setting is turned on and/or turned to the maximum. You’re now done configuring all the visual settings in the game.

Playing in widescreen

If you want to play in widescreen there’s a patch you can download and install that will enable this relatively painlessly. The drawback is that some multiplayer servers may incorrectly identify this patch as some sort of cheat enabling mod and therefore eject you from any games you try to join. If you’re only interested in checking out the single player campaign though, there shouldn’t be an issue.

To install and activate the widescreen patch, first make sure the game is closed, then follow the steps below.

Download this zip file. (Link broken?, let me know here).

Inside the zip file you will find two folders, “EXE” and “JFLP”. These need to be copied to the Freelancer game folder (C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft GamesFreelancer by default).

Once the files are copied, open the “EXE” sub-folder within the Freelancer game folder. In this folder you need to find a file called “dacom.ini”. Once you locate this file, open it in Notepad or your favourite text editor. If you’re unfamiliar with editing configuration files, there’s a tutorial here. Remember you may need administrator access to write the file, you can get that by searching for “Notepad” on the Start menu/search bar and then right clicking on it and choosing “Run as administrator”. Then, use the “File” menu and choose “Open…” and browse to the dacom.ini file.

In the dacom.ini file, find the section that begins “[Libraries]”. Browse to the end of this section and add the line “jflp.dll” (do not copy the quotation marks).

Save the file and restart the game. You should now be able to select widescreen screen resolutions from the General options menu.

If you ever want to disable the patch (e.g to play multiplayer) simply remove the “jflp.dll” line from the dacom.ini file.

Tweaking sound quality

There aren’t an awful lot of sound quality settings to configure with this game. One thing we do recommend doing is turning off the 3D sound option. Freelancer uses the now defunct EAX audio standard and the 3D sound mode is reported to cause issues on more modern machines. Turn it off by going to the “Options” menu and then choosing “Sound” and then deselecting “3D Sound”.

The exception to this is if you have a Creative Labs sound card that supports ALchemy. In this case, activate Freelancer with ALchemy in the usual way (ALchemy fully supports Freelancer and should detect the game automatically). Then, run the game and make sure 3D sound is turned on.

You now have everything you need to play the basic game, but read on for some more interesting content you may want to install.

Mods and the Freelancer Mod Manager

Freelancer is another PC game that’s seen extensive mods and community created content. If you’re interested in exploring some of this content, you should start by installing the Freelancer Mod Manager. You can download the mod manager here.

To install the mod manager, just double click on the downloaded executable file and follow the on-screen prompts.

Once the mod manager is installed, you can download mods and simply double click on the “flmod” file you download. It will then be added to the list of mods in Freelancer Mod Manger. To activate a mod, start Freelancer Mod Manager then just select the mod in the list and click “Activate mod”. The picture below shows our mod manager with one mod activated.

Freelancer Texture Pack

One mod that comes highly recommended is the Freelancer HD Textures mod. This mod upgrades the textures in the game for better visual quality. You can grab this mod here. Just double click on it to install it then activate it in your Freelancer Mod Manager.

Multiplayer and other notes

The original multiplayer servers for Freelancer closed down many years ago. However, it’s possible to use servers run and maintained by fans of the game. If you’re interested in trying this, there’s a guide here.

Somewhat unusually for a space combat game, Freelancer was designed to be played with keyboard and mouse and has no support for game controllers or joysticks. We recommend sticking to the keyboard and mouse for this game as the control system is so tightly designed for this that using a gamepad is more hassle than it is worth.

Save games for Freelancer can be found in your Documents folder under “My GamesFreelancer”.

Troubleshooting

Audio issues –Free sim unlock code philippines. Problems with the game audio can usually be fixed by turning off 3D sound from the Sound menu (select the “Options” menu and then “Sound”).

Missing mouse pointer in game menus – This can happen if you’re using some kind of in-game overlay such as Steam or Evolve. Disable the overlay to correct the problem.

We’re not in the business of guaranteeing scores, hence the loss of a cover exclusive every now and then. However, there are a few games that you come across, an elite few, where after just a few minutes play you know you are playing a future classic. Freelancer is one of them.

First unveiled in May 1999, Freelancer was the brainchild of Chris Roberts, creator of all things Wing Commander. It was for me the best game on show at that year’s E3, the best game I'd seen since Half-Life and, more importantly, destined to become the best space sim since the original Elite. Watching him play through some very early missions, I was absolutely slack-jawed at what I saw, and thrilled by the plans Roberts had for his all-newassault on the space-trading genre. I asked him at the end of the demonstration when would the game be out? 'At the end of 2001,' he said. 'At the earliest.'

Since then, of course, Chris Roberts’ role on Freelancer has diminished somewhat. December 2000 saw Digital Anvil, the studio he founded to create the game, fall into the hands of Microsoft, and Roberts’ role since has been only an advisory one. To its credit however, Microsoft has stuck by the game, slowly and surely filling in the gaps and despite initial fears to the contrary, has pretty much stuck to the original blueprint, thanks, among many others, to the presence of Freelancer's original lead designer and now Roberts’ successor as producer, Phil Wattenbarger. Perversely, we can take some solace in the fact that Freelancer will only be a year late. Eighteen months ago it looked like the game might never see the light of day.

Postcards From The Edge Of Space

Apart from the upheaval of Microsoft's Borg-like assimilation of the team, there are many reasons for Freelancer's delay; reasons now evident having played the game for a short time and spoken at length to Freelancer’s program manager Alan Hartman.

The first thing that hits you is how incredibly diverse it is graphically. No more do we have to endure in our space games a black backdrop, pocked with white pixels and the occasional purple swirl. In Freelancer, space is as beautiful as you imagine it to be. Moreover, rather than travel through an endless tunnel of stars towards a distant nebula (knowing full well you’ll never make it), here you can cruise from one end of the universe to the other, passing through dust clouds and nomadic asteroid fields that to those who might stick to the regular trade routes appear as distant landmarks. Each system of stars -their planets, moons and man-made stations are all linked by jumpgates - but rather than have each system as a self-contained 'level’, the entire game universe is mapped as one. Hidden in deepest space, perhaps, will be secret bases and ships - the stuff of online legends - much like Elite’s mythical Generation Ships that may or may not have ever existed. Some people love that kind of thing.

House Party

But exploration isn’t what Freelancer is about, not initially anyway. Sequel to the enjoyable if somewhat formulaic Starlancer, the game picks up from its predecessor with the Alliance now divided between four main houses, each based loosely on old Earth civilisations: the morally upstanding Kusari (Japan), the technically advanced Rheinland (Germany), the capitalist House Liberty (USA) and industrial beer-swilling House of Bretonia (Blighty). Starting off in Liberty space with a basic Ford Fiesta of a spaceship and a small stack of credits, where you go from there is - in the true Elite tradition - up to you, but the main aim is, in Hartman’s words: 'To become the ultimate bad-ass freelancer.'

Everyone On A Mission

For those who become disorientated and confused unless they’re told what to do, Freelancer will also feature a tightly focused story, set around 13 key missions, many of which will be split up into small bite-sized chucks. At any time however you can elect to go off on your own, take on smaller escort missions for cold hard cash, trade valuable commodities between the game’s 200 planets, bases and cities or just turn on anyone who comes across your path.

'The story is linear, but the universe is wide-open,' says Hartman. 'We’ve been talking for all these years about building this vast universe that is just alive, but only now is it really happening: armadas, traders, the four major and numerous minor factions generating situations -where for example pirates may be attacking a naval outpost, and you can just get involved or fly on by.'

The dynamics of the Freelancer universe has perhaps been one of the biggest hurdles Digital Anvil has had to contend with. Each ship has a character flying it, and each character has their own aims and allegiances with each of the 48 factions in the game.

'You’ll start knowing some of the pilots by their reputation, and in the same way your reputation will precede you,' says Hartman. 'You can go off in the world and just focus on being, say, a pirate, and the pirate factions may try and recruit you while all the others will hate you. You can be friends with certain factions and make enemies of others, or try and stay neutral to everyone. You can do whatever you want. You and everyone else in the game are basically on a mission.'

Sound And Vision

It’s difficult to gauge just how convincing the Al is at this stage, but while we'll have to wait to test out the gameplay, the graphics have already been turning heads. The visual interface appears sleek, simple and modern, the ship and station designs are suitably varied and the sense of scale light years ahead of any current games. Most importantly, to move the adventure along, rather than boring text messages or grainy video, Digital Anvil has created a stunning character animation system featuring around four hours of actual story footage, plus all the other real-time cinematics that are generated on the fly whenever you land or go to talk to people in bars or stations to ask for information or missions.Less obvious but just as important are the small innovations Digital Anvil has forged. In a sense it all comes back to variety and focus. As is usual in space combat games, you can jump from system to system via gates, but within each system there is a network of trade lanes; high-speed ringed superhighways where ships can quickly jump between stations and planets. And like Elite’s infamous witchspace, the trade routes can be a costly way of getting about.

'The idea behind the trade lanes is to give the game points of focus,' says Hartman. 'If I’m a pirate I can hide out in a debris field near a trade route, shoot one of the jump nodes on the trade lane, which will disable it for a short period of time and then when ships come along they will have to drop out. I can then take out the transports and hide back into the debris field.'

Privateer Plus

As you progress, building up fortunes and knocking down reputations, you will of course begin to upgrade your ship: adding weapons, restocking missiles, patching on-board tactical software -whatever you need to increase the functionality of your craft. As for the equipment and the ships themselves, not much has been revealed. Each of the four major houses will have its own trio of pilotable ships, each offering varying characteristics over their rivals. There will be around 15 playable craft in the game, none larger than a freighter. However, though we won’t be able to fly any of the large cruisers and battleships, there will be around 40 ships in total, a couple of which there may only be one or two of in the entire game. Again for Elite fans, remember to have your screenshot key ready when you chance across Freelancer's version of the Constrictor.

As for the flight model, Digital Anvil is keep ng to the tried and trusted arcade dynamic rather than going down the Newtonian route. As such the game will be simple to get to grips with, as was Wing Commander, FreeSpace and the X-Wing series. What is radical however is the control system. In a bid to bring space combat to the unwashed masses, Digital Anvil has maintained throughout Freelancer's development that the game has been designed for mouse control only. It is unclear whether you'll be able to plug a joystick in, but even if you can. the game will be optimised for mouse users. It's a slightly disconcerting development, but it does work and after some acclimatisation is a joy to use.

Game

With its rich, detailed universe, open-ended gameplay, expansive multiplayer game and innovative control method, it’s hard not to go a little overboard on a game that promises to provide the biggest shake-up in the space combat genre for a number of years. Five years is a long time to be making a game, and there have been a few shaky bumps along the way. but (if you’ll allow me to put a personal spin on things), there is no one game that I am looking forward to quite as much as Freelancer - aside from of course the long-awaited announcement of Elite IV. If I am as impressed after 40 hours of playing the game as I have been watching it for 40 minutes, then Freelancer is well on course for a Classic score, which is about as close to a guarantee as you’re going to get.
