Issue: InGame crashes in several Situations

Reason: Computers needs their setup to run proper. Shadow of Fear is using upgraded DX9 settings, 3D sound, highly detailed Textures and several upgrades to the Freelancer engine itself. If you use an older version of Shadow of Fear you may run in trouble when older files will not be replaced when installing.

We can only please you, not to use other installation methods than the ones we are providing.

On modern Operating Systems you need to allow Administrator privileges to every file which is installing something over others. Because of this: allow the usage.

Other Issues are coming from old sound- and grafic drivers or an outdated DirectX Installation first place. Please refer to your grafic and sound vendors manual to download and install the newest possible grafics and sound drivers. For DirectX Issues refer to the appropriated post on this portal (under support).

The Method to install Shadow of Fear is specified on the portals Main Menu under Installation. Please do not use other ways. We made much efforts to have the Installation procedure as easy as possible for you.

Solution: Please use proper Installations

Issue: Game is crashing to the Desktop after Accounts are switched

Reason: The massive changings to the original Freelancer Game with 88Flak in the Background and Shadow of Fear in Front are producing things which are for the moment not to find, because we do not invest much effort in searching them. Many things are impossible within Shadow of Fear – it comes with the unique Newbie Protection in which you can fly two starter ships which are equipped with an equipment part which will make it impossible to be harmed by other players but of course by NPC’s, undock kills are also impossible because the pilot is protected by the game for a good amount of time as the undocking player. F1 out of space is running for the one leaving space but the ship will still stay in space for a period of time even though the player is still away from the server. Additional to this it is not possible to come back with the same account for a few minutes. As well as 88Flak Shadow of Fear is started in a few seconds – so if you really need to switch your account, just leave the game and restart it after you switched the accounts.

Solution: For a later stage of the Mod.
