you need FLMM 1.3. once you have that...and the 4.85 dl...i put both on descktop for easy use.(this is for a vista running machine)...right click FLMM choose run as admin. next while this program is running...right click on discovery file. and use flmm to extract choice, next after initial install or unzip depending on you view, make this only active mod, setup will start for all the things you want to start with ie character look..default graphics money and start point, then run freelancer from flmm...you will go through familiar startup and movie then you will load discovery screen ...hit new...sp or multi...then enjoy...I'm no expert but i found this to work easily and hope it helps...been around modding and gaming for longer than i would like to let on( might think there is a prob with a 40 year old playing and modding games lol...just never grew up my wife says :)dicovery team rocked with this endeavor and cuddo'es to all the hard work and effort guys I can just feel the extra headaches and caffine from here :)
yes it works with vista with a bit of wrangling...but not to much
I'm running Vista Ultimate with sp1 , amd kuma 7750 black box and radeon epci ( mid range video) 2 gig ram, I cam accross the content.dll denied problem like some of you...my fix was to run FLMM 1.3 as admin(right click desktop icon, run as admin)..then right click discovery mod and extract or run(cant remember) with FLMM...it will install without a problem, I tried double click but had the same result of content.dll denied...I believe D-boys coment about how to run with vista put me on right track but had to modify his last part of instruction to make it work...hope this helps...I just joined the community had been a long time fan of freelancer and the WC universe...guess my age is showing..oh well snow on the roof but can still dogfight with the wuppersnappers lol
