Playing this game on modern PCs ?

[Abnormal1]

Hi all,
I loved this game back in the day when it was originally released and have fond memories of it. I'm just wondering what it's like to play on modern hardware? Is it easy to get up and running? Are there any highly recommended quality of life mods or upgrades? Thanks!

Welcome to the forums, Abnormal!

From my own experience, if you're gonna play Freedom Force (the first game), use the GoG version: https://www.gog.com/en/game/freedom_force

It comes with a patch that fixes some really, really annoying bugs like the cursor always being a fist for some reason.

If you're gonna play the sequel game, Freedom Force vs the Third Reich, that runs fine without any issues from either Steam or GoG.

Most folks here play FFvtTR with an expansion called "Freedom Force X" or FFX (https://ffx.freedomforce4ever.com/). This is a really cool mod that adds a LOOOOOT of customizability to the game such as new attributes and the ability to swap in-game abilities with modded ones.

And for other handy tools, Alex's (aka Abenavides) Freedom Fortress (http://www.alexff.com/) has a lot of really handy tools and addons for both FF and FFvtTR.

If you run into any issues getting the games or any addons or meshes working, feel free to reach out!
