Void mod not activating

Post by Dracan »

I have got the newest mod and i have it downloaded, however, i cannot get the mod to activate. I keep getting:
"
Error: problem activating 'The Void:2115 v8'
Look in the log for more details.

Do you wish to restore backups? (strongly recommended)
"
Can anyone please tell me what i have done wrong? I really want to join the wide wide world of freelancer.  :)

Thanks

I downladed the mod and unzipped it in .."my freelancer's mod manager location"\mods\Void2115v8. It works.

In case it stills not working:
1st and very important!, write your MPID(multiplayer identity number) in a piece of paper!. It's in Start>Programs>Microsoft Games>Freelancer>Examine my account ID
Write it in your Freelancer CD box. You'll never lose it that way.
Uninstall freelancer and reinstall it again. Activate mod, enter Void, and pay me a Liberty ale in Manhattan.  ;)

If u're using Vista I think you should do all this changes as "Administrator".

Anyway, before doing any installs/uninstalls check other threads here in forums. I'm not very experienced in such problems.

Yeah. What he said. :D

Another way you could do this would be to directly unzip the mod into your FL folder, but this has some side-effects such as... not being able to unmount it that way.

Anyway, good luck!

this seems like a corrupted fl install, maybe from playing other mods, do as ppl suggested.

use fresh install before you activating the new mod :D
you will know your FL not causes the problem

erase all void mod from modmanagger. DL the mod again. extract it. activate

if not working then let us know :)
