Not able to play without official mod?!

Beiträge: 7

Ive had this message appear on my screen after a few hours of playing eventhough I am running the official mod on mod manager v1.31 (it says its installed and activated succesfully)
Ive uninstalled and installed (including the game, mod manager and the mod itself) and downloaded them all several times but I keep getting this message. Even ingame some things seem to work and others dont.
For example I can see the clanbases, but the prices on the merchandise on planets arent the modded prices.

Please help me solve this problem, because I cant seem to fix it on my own. Im running on Vista unfortunately

Many thanks in advance

Maybe this sounds stupid, but did you install any other mods or patches for FL? Absolutely all you must be running is
- a fresh install of FL
- Mod Manager 1.31 (not 1.4)
- Mod v3.15

Vista here, too. It's not a crime running it, don't let yourself be told otherwise

Thats all Im running. I only started playing this game again yesterday after having quit 5 years ago

Installed FL about 3x now
Deleted and installed Mod Manager 1.31 about 3x now
Downloaded and installed Mod v3.15 from this very site about 3x now lol

Its annoying because nothing appears to be wrong even in Mod Manager.

Did you make sure that after uninstalling Freelancer, it's installation directory was gone completely? The uninstallation process by itself sometimes leaves some stuff behind.

For as far as I can tell it deleted everything. I even checked it manually the last 2 times I uninstalled it. I think the problem lies somewhere in Mod Manager tbh, or the fact Im running on Vista

Well after several attempts I managed to get the mod to work. But I got a validation error.
Once I had that fixed I actually had it working like it should! But when I logged off and back in, the mod stopped working again! ARGH!!!!!

Someone plz help me out here

I'm currently working on a checksum tool, so we finally have the means to check the validity of an installation prior to launching the game, and to point out which files exactly are different. But I'm too tired now, have to continue tomorrow.

are you running freelancer, and mod manager as administrator, and with compatibility with XP?

Yea I am.

But by a sheer miracle (or blind luck) I managed to get everything to work after installing everything like 6x lol. SO dont ask me how I did it, because I really dont have a clue......Im just happy it does

Keeping my fingers crossed its gonna keep on working as of now.

Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions guys, see you all ingame!
