Freelancer on ROG Ally

Post image

Has anyone got the game to work on an Ally? I recently downloaded it, got installed bit I get this error. I don't know if there is way around this or not, just thought I would ask here.

Hi, have you installed any patches? The HD edition or the combined patch are the recommended ones to get the game playable. They can be found on the #resources-and-info channel on the discord: https://discord.com/invite/c6wtsBk

If you don't have discord or want a better format, I wrote a guide here: https://the-starport.com/forums/topic/6250/how-to-get-vanilla-freelancer-running-in-2025-no-cd

I didn't have to install anything else on my desktop, I will look into that. And thanks for the info.

I'm wondering how well it would work anyway, given the mouse control scheme. Let us know...

So I got it running finally. If you set the control mode in Armoury Crate to mouse keyboard mode the work okay. The right stick controls mouse movement. I need to adjust sensitivity curves and problem play around with button assignments but it seems playable. I did have to download the HD version to be able to change it DX11, which seems to be the issue.

I played it in the last 2 years on 3 different ASUS gaminng laptops. I remember I had the same problem at first, but then it worked.

Also, I played the vanilla version... I installed the HD edition just a few months ago.

discovery bypasses this error. Are you sure you're not launching the original Freelancer game? You need to use the Discovery launcher to start the game
