Loading time hugely extended after patch
Okay, so before the ZM patch, I was taking about, 30 seconds to load a map the size of Compound, or Downtown, or Complex. When I loaded, from the second I moved to the second it ended I usually had a steady frame-rate of nearly 60 FPS.
Now after the patch.. I go to play ZM.. I click to start, IF I find a game that will load without the "Server if full, move to another server" message.. I sit at the "Loading game..." pop-up for about 30 seconds, it then goes to the loading screen.. Stays for about a minute.. Then it goes to a black screen, all black not even my mouse is there, for about 4 minutes.. It then goes back to the loading screen, and sits like that with the loading bar inching ever so slightly upwards for about 5 more minutes. After it fills, I know I'm about 2 minutes away from playing. Then when it loads me onto the map, I'm frozen at the spawn with a .02 frame-rate for about 50 seconds, then it lets me move but with extreme lag. This is on Unearth.. Don't even get me started on Biohazard.. Anyways, after about 1 minute 30 the lag goes away, and my frame-rate returns to about 60 and stays until I die.. That's when I try to play ZM.
Trying to play a normal game, it does the same thing, but with all times about 1/2 of what they are above. I wanna know.. What would cause this to happen?
Side note: After the first few tries of playing ZM I just cleaned out my entire computer. Defragged, cleaned the registry, got rid of any viruses and everything like that.. It still goes it.. My rig sucks, but it ran Cross Fire perfectly fine before..
If you're going to troll and tell me to get a new rig, then I'll be expecting a check from you for the cost of the preferred rig..

1. try re-installing
2. disable anti virus (you don't need antivirus protection unless your doing something you shouldn't on the internet anyways)
3. use defraggler, its the best defragging software that I've come across, and its completely free.
4. Rig stats? -

1: Already uninstalled, re-installed. Twice. To fix a different problem.
2: Anti-virus has the entire Z8 Games folder set as an exception. So it let's anything from that folder do what it wants.
3: SmartDefrag, and uDefrag3 is what I use. They fixed my computer to run everything else 10 times faster, but CF.
4: P.O.S. 'Nuff Said -

Complete re-download and re-install. Twice. I had to in order to solve a crashing issue.shubinator wrote: »yep my computer does the same thing. i used to alt tab out of the main screen and go back perfectly fine but now once i alt tab and go back i get a black screen and i cant do anything uunless i force restart my computer =\ mines a p.o.s computer also lol
Lawlz. It does it when I start up the game. I don't have to do anything. It just does that when I load into a game.Well, I dont have any problems like this
the loading screen might stay a few secs longer, but that's not a big deal.
Good for you. Don't post in a thread looking for help, unless you can offer help.

I know. I'm a huge believer in the perks of ZP (Except armor o..e), and Cross Fire, so I was gonna get like, $50 worth of ZP soon and use it all on the DSR-1 CAMO crates, and ZM tokens. If they can't find a way to fix this then I'ma spend it on some other game. -

Toxic, Fumichhh, you'll find that when you have an issue with Cross Fire, you're never alone. There is always someone out there having the same issue. -

I think they pay more attention to the web forms
But, they don't. I have three tickets in now, all legit tickets. Not a single one of them has been responded too.. But they've been there since early January. -

Hmm, not very helpful but anyways... I hope it's gonna be fixed soon! -
I have the EXACT same problem that you have. And one of my clan members also had the EXACT same problem as this thread does. So we're not the only victims who have this problem. I knew its not that coincidental there's no way. Yes, before the patch, I load maps perfectly fine. Only takes me like 10-20 sec to load a map each time depending on my frame rate. The problem with this that I found out, this only happens to people who have low RAM. I have less than a GB of RAM. Cause when I play on my laptop, it loads in an instant because obviously it has more than 2 GB RAM so it can run smoothly. But not on my desktop, it can't. It has the black screen problem as well.
Z8 has got to fix this. I just bought ZP......I'm questioning Z8's ability to patch now.
Keep this thread alive until this problem is solved.
Thanks. -

they need to fix it now or tommrow!
How about they take the massive amounts of money they earn through ZP, and make a god damned time machine.. That way they can go back and fix the issue BEFORE they even launch the damn patch. Then none of this has to be done.

I was just sayin that this isn't a general problem, as not every1 has it.
I'm just saying that if you're going to post in a thread that is asking for help, especially with an issue preventing several people from playing.. Please try to offer some help.BadMonkey666 wrote: »I can only join the shooting range atm, everything else won't work.
I can't even join that. I get the same loading problem. -
