OT: Anyone who has Freelancer plz Help
Well after a few months of not playing it since I got my new computer I decided to install and play Freelancer problem is the stupid thing does not recognize my video card (G-Force 5) and even the patch doesn't fix this.
Well the intro and all that runs fine but when it goes to load the main menu it crashes to desktop.
Can anyone help me out?

Re: OT: Anyone who has Freelancer plz Help
Well the first obvious thing to do is make sure your drivers are updated. If you drivers are updated and it still doesn't work try some third party drivers. I ran Freelancer fine on my 5200. Microsoft never patched the game so I can't suggest that.
A good place to ask for help is in the EFS forums. http://efs.proboards22.com/
Some of the best people I know online, all they do is play freelancer I am sure they can help you.

Re: OT: Anyone who has Freelancer plz Help
Well lame as it may sound my main fears are either downloading the wrong drivers or downloading bad 3rd party drivers.
I am redownloading the latest drivers from NVidia so I hope that helps. Oh and they did have a v1.1 patch

Re: OT: Anyone who has Freelancer plz Help
I don't know if this makes a difference but I have a Gforce FX5700 LE and I tried downloading the latest drivers from Nvidia but it screwed up my video.
Any ideas?

Update your DIRECT X driver from MICROSOFT. Should be 9c now I think.
I am running the latest Nvidia drivers (not that they have had any new drivers since 1777 or so) and seem to be ok with everything.
Freelance is a great game if you like flying around doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again. Get some of the community add-ons. Some of the ship packs are awsome.

LOL I played multi-player and tended to be the big evil Pirate 
I tell you it's fun waiting for a clan cargo ship and it's escort and shutting down the lane on them then nailing both of them and snagging a few hundred gold to sell hehehe.

Re: OT: Anyone who has Freelancer plz Help
Hi do I download all of those drivers or just some of them, I am not used to downloading 3rd party drivers so I'm not sure and I can't find any directions there.
