Technical Questions

The first iteration of this FAQ had one big technical page. Sadly this has now become impractical as there are several different versions of FS2 available, some of which have problems that the others can ignore. For this reason you should choose the version of FreeSpace you are having problems with from the following list.

FreeSpace 1 (& Silent Threat)
FreeSpace 2 Retail Version
FreeSpace 2 Home of the Underdogs Version
FreeSpace 2 FS2_Open on top of Retail Version
FreeSpace 2 FS2_Open on top of Home of the Underdogs Version
