Title: Win 7
Post by: Colonol Dekker on July 27, 2019, 04:22:52 am

So this freeware you speak of, I take it win 7 supports it as I recall finishing the game on win 98 many moons ago  :yes: :nod:

Title: FL OS
Post by: RizZen on August 02, 2019, 01:16:35 am

Sry, i dont ignore your topic, but in the first place i didnt understand.

Freelancer can be installed and played on those OS (tutorials and help is all around the net):

Win98/00/ME
WinXP
WinVista
Win7
Win8/8.1
Win10

For all systems above WinXp i recommend installing and playing it with WinXP SP2 support / execute as admin. No further settings to be made on my side. Im just mounting the iso and install/play it.

On Win10 there needs to be DirectPlay installed before starting the exe the first time.

A bit more complicated is widescreen support and resolutions above the early 2000s standard - but this is something im working on. I think i will release a widescreen mod for single player soon.

Regards RizZ
