Ok, I have never played this game before, but my brother loved it years ago, so I thought i'd give it a try.


So far, I'm not impressed, and here's why:

I started with the training missions...the first mission went fine, but nothing really happened. On the second training mission, the trainer blew up the drone which failed my mission. I tried it again and got through it fine. The third training mission, I blew up all the drones yet it said I missed one in the third group, which I know I didn't (and I don't even know how you could miss it since they are just drones).

So how bugged is this game, and is it even worth having to constantly replay missions due to these bugs?

Are you talking about Freespace 1 or 2?

I don't remember a bug like that in the CD version, both games ran stable without any major problems from what I can recall. Then again maybe I just got lucky and didn't encounter it.
(I haven't tried the GOG edition yet though.)

It's possible there is some kind of incompatibility with your system and Freespace, if all else fails then contact GOG support. They're pretty good at sorting things out and their response time is also very quick from my experience.

Oops, sorry...I forgot this was a series forum :P It is Freespace 1.

It was just weird that 2 out of the 3 missions were buggy and it was only training! The first one was funny, I grant you, when the guy training me blew up the drone and caused me to fail, but the second one kind of made me wonder what the heck was going on :)

Another thread mentioned issues if the game is set to a low difficulty level for training, so I might try again with a higher difficulty level and see if that fixes my problems. Thanks!
