Hey Guys.
I have played and loved every irrational game, i have been a huge fan since System Shock 2. After the recent steam sale i picked up Freedom force and thought i would play through these games again.
Unfortunately the game does not run well on windows 7, the mouse pointer is stuck to attack and when Minuteman is ordered to move somewhere he runs in random directions off the screen. Other people have been experiencing the problem as I have seen threads about the issue on other forums. With the new irrational community just launched i was wondering if anyone else was having this problem or if anyone has a solution.
Thanks

	Have you tried the basics like compatibility mode? The game works fine on XP, so setting it for XP compatibility might make a bit of difference.

	Unfortunately yes, it didn’t seem to make any difference. I tried it with all the different compatibility modes.

Have you used Windows Virtual PC: XP Mode? http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx Virtual PC XP mode doesn't support 3D hardware acceleration, it won't work for running games. Its really only for running productivity apps that have issues with Windows 7

	I had to solve this problem recently myself (using vista), it required replacing a few of the files, specifically the wavmix32.dll and iirc, the wavemix.cfg If you do a google search, you ought to be able to find the fix, it was necessary to play the game (in compatability/admin mode) on vista. Also, you'll need to have patched to v1.3, otherwise, no dice.

	I got the demo off steam with intentions of buying if I liked it but I had very mixed results so did not end up purchasing it. I am running Windows 7 64bit and it appeared to be rather choppy at certain points which was bothersome.

	Frustrating! I am having the same issues. Tried every fix that I've seen, but it hasn't worked. Mouse pointer and Minuteman acting crazy. sigh

	Yeah, I just installed it the other day and it acted wonky. After setting compatibility it works fine - though I'm not more than the tutorial into it so I'm not too sure what else is to come. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit - it auto changed it the first time I exited the game and looks fine since.

	Ya, just wanted to confirm that without doing anything more than the auto-fix that Windows 7 did, this runs perfectly now for me. Was looking into it, and Win 7 does a lot of compatibility fixes compared to Vista and XP, so a lot of games that just refused to work then, are good to go now. I'm still having issues with original fallout though.

	Guys, I know this post is older, but if any of you are still having trouble running the game with Windows 7, download this patch found here: http://freedomfans.com/news.php?id=37 I did and it worked for me. So excited I can play Freedom Force again. :3
