How to start Cross Fire quicker!

s7yx

This is a quick guide for the people that do not already know how to load their game up quicker (not via the launcher).

One, find the shortcut you're currently using to open CF and then right click it, and select properties. After doing so, it'll state your target.

Two, change the last part of the target line to 'patcher_cf.exe', then click okay.

that wouldn't make a difference. patcher_cf doesn't change. it basically starts the game up from the patcher, instead of clicking 'Game Start' on the cf launcher.

it'll still patch, even if you do start it up from there, if that's what you're questioning?

doesn't that start up the launcher? what i am showing starts up the patcher without opening the launcher and pressing start.

For those who are wondering, in essence all this shortcut does is skip the launcher and go directly to the startup sequence.

Time is money. I'm making millions right now. I'll have 3 new yachts before you can log in again.
