Description

The setting for this "space opera" game is the 23rd Century, which in a galactic time-frame can be roughly described as just before the insanity that was Buck Rogers and just after the Space Odyssey. A civil war has ripped Earth and our Solar System apart, with the losing faction, the Alliance, escaping to deep space to start over again.

Installer fails for French CD, since "SETUP.EXE" is renamed to "install.exe" in this language, and program title is not "Freelancer".

my beloved freelancer wont run.

installation runs well (german or english cd)

game starts only in windowed/emulated desktop mode with max. 1024x768 size!

no bigger screensize. no fullscreen.

but only with "old" wine versions. not higher than 1.5xx or so!?

if i use a higher wine version, i got graphic bugs ..see no mouse pointer, or so

and it runs only until the main menu fine.

if i click new game or load game - it crashes every time.

too bad!

using mint17 and zorin9 linux, uptodate.

 

thx for reading

Does not install at all now as the patch download is no longer working. Plus, even if you download the patch separately, mounting the CD in wine doesn't seem to work with the security. It does still seem to run with a no-cd patch (grabbed from here) which I don't think could be used in this. Thus, it might be best to remove, as it doesn't work and would just cause issues.

Didn't work with stock-settings.

Running this on Arch with Kernel 4.3 on a radeon r7 265

 

I switched the wine version to 1.9.0-staging and disabled the simulated desktop. Now the game starts and the singleplayer seems to work.

 

Biggest issue probably is the same as on windows: the software-cursors that is reacting too slow due to v-sync.

Game works great in single player.

I cannot switch to fullscreen though, it is always limited to a windows where the game appears... any idea on how to fix this?

Unfortunately, no. The game uses a "virtual desktop" through Wine, likely because it has graphical glitches without it. You can turn that off if you want to test without it: Configure -> select virtual drive -> Wine tab -> Wine Configuration -> Graphics tab -> uncheck Emulate a Virtual Desktop

Though, it may cause graphic glitches. When someone has added that into the script, it is usually the case that it is somewhat broken without it. From that same graphics tab, though, you can increase the resolution of the virtual desktop, and that will enable you to set it for any size. Truth be told, I run a LOT of games like this, even if it is not needed, because I have a 5 monitor setup, and it is nice to have full screen gaming on one monitor and business on the others. lol. :)
