  • Okay.. So after some decisions, I re-installed Cross Fire with one purpose. Obtaining more data for the MODs so they might be able to better fix the problem. This is what I came up with...

    Same, I hope they fix.
  • I just upgraded RAM and graphics Card, it loads faster, but it still goes into a black screen. I guess my lag problem is solved, but the black screen still exist there after the ZM Patch. I wouldn't say I'm fully satisfied, it still goes into a black screen and loading time is still extended, just shortened after I upgraded my RAM to 1.4 GB + New Nvidia EN210 Silent. (Old) My fps jumped from an average of 60 to an average of 100 now too. That's a pretty good improvement for such an old motherboard from Gateway.

    I mean, Z8 is not gona fix this anyways, since not everyone is having this problem. I mean, we tried telling them and everything already, and they don't do anything. You can say, I've already lost faith/hope for Z8games on this topic now.

    PS, how do you guys edit your font size/colors in the forums without having a editing toolbar here?

    I can't afford to upgrade my rig at all.. I'm bleedin' poor...

    @ the PS : Edit Color [ color=(putcolor) ] Text goes here. [ /color ] Size : [ size = (Input font size) ] Text goes here. [ /size ] Remove the spaces.

    Like I said in the beginning, The patch caused more memory use, upgrade your memory
    and you can play again. 1.4 GB of Ram is good but double it and you will have no problems playing. After all the trolls and bad things you guys had to say. I will never come here to help again. Some of you guys just dont read are just dont get it............
  • wow we reached page 15

    notbadobama.png

    haha i feel we will reach page 150 and z8games is still not fixed this black screen bug yet
  • Read my first post. I'm expecting a check from you to pay for the new PC, troll. :l

    i think this is the only way..im not (trolling) dude xD xD
  • 2GB Ram is not the best but still enough to s,hit on most of the modern games. CF is a old game, they don't even have physics in the game engine.

    As my first post says, anyone who tells me to get a new PC or upgrade it, can stop being an idiot troll and pay for it out of THERE pocket. As to the ".. just dont get it..." part... It's a repeating trend with Z8 Games, moron. If it's not effecting at least half the Brazilian population, then it's not effecting the income they make from the game enough for them to bother fixing it until they've fixed all the BR, or "Cash Cow" problem first.

    They more than likely, have yet to even start looking for the solution.

    Pay for it, troll.
  • everyone that is being a troll and saying "But a better PC" as Requiem said: "Pay for it, out of pocket" So stop trolling and Atleast pretend you have a brain, and look at the other posts.

    def not it, cf had that glitch almost 3 months ago with sewer and it loaded perfectly fine

    Yeah. It's like I said already. They won't address a problem unless the cash cow Brazilians are having the same problem.. Because once they start quitting, yeah the hackers are down, but so are the Z8 Games profits. And that means they'll do just about anything to please the Brazilians so they'll come back and spend more money.

  • Loading screen takes a long time to load after the patch

    After the patch is a black screen on my crossfire, and only go into the third round, that is, one can not go x1
  • Still here after last nights updates........
  • Well, the most i can get is 2GB for my desktop. And its technically 1.7GB cause of other program that needs to run. Gfx Card, meh. Motherboard, thats the thing that I'm not gona buy. Intel is gona come up with a new one in a blink of an eye. Not wasting. Just gona stick with what I have right now, despite that it still loads from 10-15 sec to 30-40 sec now. At least its an improvement from frigin 3-4 min.
