Comment installer le jeu Freelancer sur Windows moderne
2022 is here and it’s time to take another look at one of the greatest games of all time, Freelancer! The game was released in March of 2003, so we are coming up on the 19th anniversary. It’s amazing that this game still holds up and is still great fun after all these years.
While playing the game is fun, installing it is not. In 2020 I put out a video on installing on Windows 10. This included all the tweaks needed to get the game, install it, and run it on a new PC.
Pourquoi une mise à jour des procédures d'installation est nécessaire
Today, we have a couple of major updates to work with. One is, of course, Windows 11. I have been running Windows 11 for a few months now. I installed it on a gaming PC that I can wipe and start over with no worries. Turns out Windows 11 isn’t terrible, but I don’t feel comfortable upgrading my workstation, that’s for sure.
The other update is there is an HD mod that keeps the game nearly 100% vanilla, but updates the graphics and tweaks the UI to work with higher and widescreen resolutions.
