thats a common problem with avira and its heuristic scan
every signature in files that avira does not know is considered a possible virus
i try to make CF1.8 more avira friendly

this might work but its irratating.unstall freelancer and cross fire then mod manager v1.3then look for any directorys to these files delete them so your pc is clear of freelancer and any files of that kind .id recommend you defrag your pc at this time, then install freelancer then mod manager v1.3 and then cross fire,that's how i got it going on mine. one mistake i did is i made a backup of mod manager using the cut and paste technique from my programs file and puting it on disk,and when using it as a backup it'll work but it wont install properly witch means cross fire wont install properly as well, so it's best to use the installation setup file for mod manager.

type this into a cmd line:
"regsvr32 c:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Freelancer/Exe/MSInet.ocx" (adjust to ur Freelancer path)

usually this component is installed with windows but we experienced that this is sometimes not the case O_o

Huh. I'll try that then. I was using a clean install of FL (Was having some other problems with it from another mod, the Wing Commander one was crashing to desktop every time I killed an enemy fighter, wtf. BUT, I was using FLMM v1.4 because another mod said it was needed. Hopefully it'll work when I get the time.

Wiped FL from my PC along with FLMM and all files having anything to do with them, have reinstalled both, am downloading Crossfire, again, now. If it doesn't work I blame you... Or Microsoft, because they're easier to blame for PC troubles. =D

Weeee. Installed, activated, now I must test. One question: What happened to Perfoptions.ini? I must edit difficulty because I blow unless I have a joystick. And... I only do SP so it's not like cheating... So... What did you do to the file? D8

Wait a minute... Ignore last comment, forgot you had to start and save a game before perfoptions was even created. Dx I'm such a moron...
Why must I patch? I want to play single player, and the launch button is active... but I click. And crossfire mod launcher closes and nothing happens.

And now my last comment.

New ships - win
New outfits - win
Highway To The Dangerzone - win
New HUD, menu, and cursors - win
Having to uninstall everything and reinstall just to change mod options - fail
Not being able to use the speed mod in SP - fail (Any chance you could tell me how to fix that so I can go fast? One thing I hate about the game and most mods is the slow-ass speeds, even with cruise engines)

Then win still outways the fail. Great job, guys. (& gals, if applicable o_o)

well, now u should write a short review and post it here, so everybody can read it. :D or just wait for 1.8, get blown out of the sky and review as an angel. :D

regarding 'clicking launch and crossfire launcher closes and nothing happens', please alt-tab to minimized accept eula window (it gets minimized after launcher starts the game, microsoft's fault).

regarding reinstall: will b fixed with 1.8 (i'm working on it).

regarding modding: u must b advanced modder, many things r possible, but there r some that r not.

I click on "launch Singleplayer"... After 3 fesh installs I finally get it launched... then the button does nothing.

I've tried Alt-Tab - no "minimised EULA window\" - just nothing happens. The launcher closes, nothing whatsoever.

:(:(:( PLease help me, kind sir.

ooh, also, in my task manager the launcher appears to still be running, but I can't see it anywhere. And no matter how hard I try, I simply can't make it visible. All I get is a little bar with "CF launcher" on it...

well, most of the modding is not acceptable, due to the licence. maybe op will reconsider making sp portion of the mod independent from anti-cheating protection in 1.8, but u will have to stick around and see.

it's not impossible, but given cf is mainly mp mod, it may not happen.

on the other hand, i suggest u to try mp. u don't know what u r missing, m8. :D

Is it ok if I installed patch 1.7a as step 9a of the installation guide rather than step 8a? I didn't do the launcher updates till after I had the patch, though.

goodone Apr 25 2008, 5:54pm replied:

since u need patch 1.7a to b able to patch the client from the server's new address, it won't matter if it is 8a or 9a, but should b done if u don't get updates at all (may happen without it).

anyway, patch 1.7a is only a simple crossover between updates, cause it gets updated too with launcher updates.

some people need the patch others dont
it simply depends on where those ppl are living and which language they speak
when you receive update the launcher should update itself to the newest version aswell

I install this mod, and it doesn't activate properly.
I re-activate. Nothing.
I re-install the mod. Nothing.
I re-install freelancer and FLMM. Still nothing.
I re-install FL and FLMM and Crossfire WITHOUT the 1.7a patch and it ACTUALLY ACTIVATES PROPERLY!
I did a little dance, then clicked on the "Launch Single Player" button in the Crossfire Launcher. Once again... Nothing.

I looked at all the solutions provided for people who have also had this problem with the launcher, and none of them work for me...

Can anyone help me? sorry for hassling. =]

Hi,
I Just Downloaded the client version and the Patch an when I run "flmm" when loading says:
--------------------
'Crossfire Mod 1.70 Client Edition' successfully loaded
Warning: mods should not contain files that end in .flmmbak (to fix, remove all the *.flmmbak files from this mod's directory)
Reading mod script...
Parsing mod script...
Found mod: \Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\Crossfire1.70
--------------------
So I removed the.flmmbak part of the file.
Now it is saying:
--------------------
Error: problem activating 'Crossfire Mod 1.70 Client Edition'
Error: SHCopyFile failed ('\Freelancer\EXE\spcontent.dll.flmmbak' to '\Freelancer\DLLS\BIN\content.dll')
