I have version 2.01 and I'm trying to run it on Windows 7. I've tried compatibility mode but that doesn't help either.

This is the error I receive:
---------------------------
FLCompanion - Unexpected error
---------------------------
Assertion failed

In: IniFile.cpp line 199



Value: 0 (0x0)



Please contact the author with this information

Any help would be great.

It appears that occurs when you have a BINI file. Are you using the original Freelancer? Try JFLP (fixes errors, includes unpacked ini files) or TINI (ini unpacker) from my site.

I think I tried running it on the original copy of Freelancer but I really want to use it with the Shattered Worlds Mod.

Which tools from your site do I need to use? What do they do?

TINI will unpack the ini files (convert from a binary format to text). It's a command line app, so you should run it from a Command Prompt - type in "tini -os" to convert everything. However, there's a possibility that Shattered Worlds does something to prevent FLC from working (I don't have it, so couldn't say).

Thank you, I will try that. Will TINI try to use the default location for Freelancer? (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer) Since I'm using a 64bit OS the location for Freelancer is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games. Will this be a problem?

Freelancer Companion 2.02 was just released and should be compatible with Shattered Worlds :: War Torn

Make sure you're running it as an administrator.

Note: the problem with Shattered Worlds was not really linked with binary INI but rather with weird entries (virtual systems representing a group of systems) in Universe.ini

Note2: Freelancer Companion supports binary INIs as well. There was a specific case that made FLC crash on some BINI but it was fixed as well in version 2.02

There is no need to run Freelancer Companion in Administrator mode
(or maybe you were talking about running TINI in Administrator mode to convert the Program Files/Freelancer directory?)
