Let me guess: You have a NVidia card, a 6600 ? There are some problems with the combination 6600/Drivers and FL. If you have other card please specify your system (including DirecX-version).
FL Crashes when selecting a target

Yep - I have a Jaton GeForce 6600 256MB using the v78.01 WHQL drivers. I am using DX9c as well. I was using 77.72 drivers before, and had the same issue. Is there a recomended driver version to be using? Thanks! -LB

I saw that, but I´ve got a non-GT, so I wasn´t sure if this applied or not. Hmm, wonder where I can get older versions.. Google to the rescue! <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> -LB

Here´s the archive for Win2k and XP: <A href=´http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_archive.html´ Target=_Blank>http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_archive.html</a> I´m having a problem that might have the same cause: i´ve got a GeForce 6600 (non-GT) and every time i select another target, hover over one of the nav bar buttons or get an explosion, the game "jumps" (video seems to skip a few frames). I´ll try rolling back my drivers, and i´ll post the results... (edit) I´ve tried 66.93, no joy. Will try 66.81, downloadable here: <A href=´http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=10´ Target=_Blank>http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=10</a> (edit) The 66.81 drivers don´t solve my problem either...

About three months ago a FL-vet wrote in a thread here on TLR that he could not manage his 6600 to work with FL - that´s why he got back to his older card just to have the fun of playing Freelancer online. Now THAT is a fan, isn´t he ? Other 6600-users had success with different driver settings. And it may also help to read <A href=´http://www.lancersreactor.org/t/forum/topic.asp?topic_id=39398&forum_id=20&Topic_Title=%2AFIX%2A+Unidentified+Video+Hardware+Update+and+Advanced+Logging&forum_title=Freelancer+Technical+Issues&M=False&S=True´ Target=_Blank> this thread </a>
