the problem seems to be with the diver as using any display adpater from AMD or NVIDIA work fine
Freelancer and Starlancer are old games that use the CPU as much as the video logic. Freelancer was delayed as it likely would have been released in 2001.
The game generally works ok, if I mouse over the close box, the menus stabilize enough to be able to see what is sellable etc.
