Installed and playing just with the nocd-fix on a Windows 10 (1909), no problems so far.
Popplars2020-09-140 point
Getting this to work was fairly simple and for me at least didnt even require any compatibility mode. I am running windows 10
I downloaded the ISO files, and i used Virtual Clone Drive (which is suggested by this website under their how to: https://www.myabandonware.com/howto/
to save you time navigating to there here is the link to the virtual clone drive
https://www.redfox.bz/download.html
once there scroll down until you see 'Freeware' and download virtual clone drive and install it
once the virtual clone drive is installed you will want to open up the ISO download foulder, the icons for the game will be replaced by sheep thanks to virtual clone drive, right click CD1 and click mount. When windows 10 asks what you want to do with this device, click on that grey box asking you and select the install/setup option and follow the prompts.
when it asks you to install disk two, simply right click on CD1 and choose 'unmount' then right click on CD2 and click 'mount' and simply click to resume the setup once it is mounted.
once install is fully complete download the FIX file on *this page* down below the ISO download. once that is downloaded, open the folder (i highly suggest renaming the lancer file to something other than lancer that you will be able to easily find as the application to run the game without the fix is also called Lancer. Mine for example is named 'CLICK HERE TO PLAY') and drag and drop the copy of the fixes folder into the install location of starlancer. This will be something like This PCOS (typically drive C) Program files (x86) Microsoft Games Starlancer
once those files (both lancer and rancer, or in my case 'CLICK HERE TO PLAY' and rancer) are in the starlancer folder you can start the game from the new file, which again for me is 'CLICK HERE TO PLAY'
i am so far experiencing no crashes and no janky gameplay/mouse movement. audio crackles ever so slightly but i can deal with that. I have yet to attempt plugging in a joystick and seeing if that will work. If you do not see me posting a fix for a joy stick just assume its working fine.
Kodii2020-05-250 point
OK last part, i followed quickguide.html and copied required files.
Game works but joystick emulator dont.
If you have/know any working please send link.
Thanks

https://starlancer.gamepedia.com/How_to_run_Starlancer_on_Windows_7_and_10
but I downloaded voodoo from here (as link from gamepedia was stopped by antivir)
http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html
yet i cant still figure it out how to make all work...
Kodii2020-05-250 point
Im using Total Commander 9.12 on win10.
Download iso file, unzip to new folder.
Run TC, double click on cd1 (disc will mount itself)
Run CD1, when asked for cd2, alt-tab to TC, eject drive with disc1, double click on cd2.
ALT-tab to installation - press ok.
Rut compatibility - select win xp ( this was for me)
at this point i replaced file with win fix, added virtual joy BUT...
game crashes when im trying to run missions.
Please post solutions to it.
saxman2020-05-240 point
Tan, did you get an answer to your question about what to do when the game asks you to insert cd #2. I saw the answer about using Daemon Tools but don't understand how to use it.
aurrekine2020-05-160 point
i went and downloaded the RIP version of this game and went to play, then realized it wasnt the full experience. went to download the full game, and it didnt work. cant reinstall the game b/c the RIP version says its still active and also theres a file missing.
Bhushan2020-04-141 point
I have installed the ISO version using virtual clone drive, but if i try to open the game through the icon, it says 'please insert the disc'. Please help
fomo2020-04-090 point
@Mauduke If you've downloaded the ISO, you'll need a virtual disk to mount the iso file then you can run the etup as normal from there. Something like daemon tools will do the job.
Mauduke2019-02-28-6 points
Let's pretend that I don't know anything about computers. I am running windows 10. What do I need to do to get this game running. I downloaded it and then extracted the files. Now what is next since clicking on it asks me what program to open it with. Thanks for the help.
JonJonz2018-10-04-4 points
Follow up, I have 3 gamepade set up programs I use, Xpadder, Pinnacle, and Logitech (that came with the controller.) Xpadder and Pinnacle usually work with most games and I prefer thier interfaces. Since they failed with this game, I tried the Logitech program and it worked like a charm.
JonJonz2018-10-040 point
I have the game running fine in Win10 and fullscreen, however there are issues with trying to use a game controller. The joystick part works fine, but the buttons don't work, or give different results from what the on screen input configuration menu show. I did find a reference in the included doc file that says there might be problems with multiple USB devices connected. I use a lap top so I have USB mouse, gamepad, external drive and external sound card. Anyone else seen this issue or found a solution.

how to continue install when they ask for disc 2
Ra7eN2018-06-090 point
For those bothered by the missing cut scenes and other misc issues, do not download the 'ripped' version. It is as the name implies (thats why the file is so small). Non essential parts of the game have been removed. Get the ISO version
Juggernaut_2152018-05-210 point
also no other sound effects (just coms and systems) and virtual disk version doesn't work much period (load Microsoft games and digital anvil cut scenes don't work (skip them) and then freezes up having to go ctrl+alt+delete and log off, nothing else works.
Any solutions I have already tried using compatibility mode.

The Starport News | Posted by w0dk4on 2017/12/4 11:17:45 (3344 reads) | Hey fellow veteran Freelancers Our site was crashing a few times in the last weeks and we could identify a bad hard drive. The hard drive got replaced and we are up and running again - hopefully this was actually the reason for the crashes. Keep in mind we are already running on enterprise-class level hard drives so we cannot really improve this situation. But I guess our last HDD failure happened 3 years ago (wow time is running fast) so it's actually not too bad. All the best, w0dk4 | Rating: 6.00 (14 votes) - Rate this News - Comments (25) |

Star Citizen News | Posted by w0dk4on 2014/6/6 12:25:58 (6594 reads) | After many delays, finally the dogfighting module called 'Arena Commander' for Star Citizen has been released. The multiplayer part of the module will be rolled out based on your citizen number, so if you backed Star Citizen early, the higher are your chances to get in. Also interesting is the Freelancer-style mouse aiming, where weapons follow your mouse cursor. If you turn 'Coupling' off (Caps Lock button), you will get something similar to 'engine kill' in Freelancer, though it is more of a 'lock velocity vector' right now.

Freelancer Server News | Posted by starworldson 2012/9/20 23:46:50 (13429 reads) | Hi all! Ds9 has been around and running since 2003! We were with some of the first servers created and started adding to the game along time ago. Now we are coming back with a rebuild! We are sticking with the Sci-Fi universe with ships from all your favourite shows + some wacky ones! But now we are working on the balance of the mod, bringing those prices down and adding some of the great FLHook options that have been added to other great servers! We host server hunts and games on a weekly basis with our current player base and welcome you all to join, even if its for just that bit of fun. The mod is under constant revision at the moment while our development team work on balancing the mod and building our RP story which we are hoping will bring all the sci-fi universes together for the first time, while creating a fantastic RP environment around it, and if you dont like RP then just come and have a look around. This is not a Mod based on ANY other mod and we are working very hard to bring it back up to scratch with the FL community, so please come and support us, as every person added to our forum or server is a pat on the back for us New clans who come on our server will receive 200 million credits to help them start up, plus we have a section on our forums with advice on how to start up your own clan and keep it going. Systems are rented by clans, who in turn can rent out bases to individual players who want their own base to reside in and pay rent monthly. Below I will list some of the features we currently have, please check out our forum to see what we are working on! Hope to see you soon Features:- - 237+ Added ships - Loads of added commodities - Loads of added equipment - 20+ new systems - Server games - FLHook full of plugins - Changed effects - Clan wide systems - Loads of added solars and stations - Clan and faction bonuses - EXE Installer - Automatic updater - Dedicated starter system - Dedicated PVP system (Top Gun) - Dedicated staff - + Loads more Below is a list of some of the new ships A-100 Aen Nnea Thhaei Anakin's starfighter Angel Wing Arachid ARC-170 Argon Titan Bat Plane Klingon Bird-of-Prey (mk2) Borg Assault Cruiser Boron Hydra Chig bomber Corellian Corvette Coyote Crusader Cylon Raider Dark Angel Devore Dodonna Dragon Breath Droid Fighter E3-Y Jedi Enterprise D Train cardassian Type-3 Galor Class Warship Goner Ranger Republic Gunship HoverShip ISSAPC Jem'Hadar Warship N1 Naboo starfighter Naginata NSEA Protector Pegasus Planet Express Federation Pursuit Raptor Spot's Fghter (Custom ship by spot) Starbug StarDestroyer (Republic) Sutherland Thunderbird 1,2,3 Tiger Romulan Valdore Vampire Light Assault Vulture Wraith X1-Blade YVF 29 Jade Falcon DS9 FORUM:- www.ds9clan.co.uk DS9 MOD:- http://www.gamefront.com/files/22210438/Ds9ClanMod.exe
