Freelancer: HD Edition is a mod that aims to improve every aspect of the game Freelancer (2003) while keeping the look and feel as close to vanilla as possible.
The DxWrapper project has seen quite a few updates in the past few years. We currently still use an older version, so it should definitely be updated. However, it appears that the latest build may not work correctly when running it with Freelancer on Windows 8. This should be investigated further. If there seems to be a problem, a bug will have to be reported to the DxWrapper repository.
If the DxWrapper version is updated, the installer code needs to be modified too, because it currently assumes a few bugs from the old release are still present.
