Disconnect While Connecting to a Room

xxRapidConectXx

We need to find what's wrong. Everyone will post here his/her system specs/OS/Antivirus.. Im pretty sure that we have something in common...

System Specs:
-1 GB RAM ddr2
-1.80 Processor (AMD Sempron (tm) 3000+
-Nvidia Geforce TurboForce Edition 6200, 256 mb AGP

OPerative System: (Include your Service Pack)
-Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3

AntiVirus
-Avira Free Edition Updated..

If you have something in common.. You know what to do. We gotta find out what's causing the trouble..

[Note] Thanks for posting this Racmot. I'm going to leave this stickied for now so that we can gather information on the affected systems. So far it looks like Service Pack 3 is common to all systems. - Greycloak

One of you guys that have that problem, try formating your pc if u got the time. That will help the GM know it it comes from a registry problem, server problem or game problem. By formatting, you eliminate the chance that the problem is coming from your side.

I am not saying that everyone should format but if only a couple of yous do it, we could pinpoint the problem easier.

I'm noticing that everyone is using XP service pack 3, including myself. Everyone who is encountering this issue, please reply to this thread with your system specs. I will bring this to FallenAngel's attention tomorrow.

Guys it's a quick fix if you have anti virus programs downloaded.

For mcafee users :
Delete mcafee completely, download AVG free, it's better and easier. After you did that follow the directions below.

For AVG free users:
Open it, click tools, advanced > go down till you see direct shield > find exceptions under that > go to add path > Find your crossfire folder > Next find your game guard folder, click it, apply it and click ok. After that it should be fixed. *note* This only applys to the people having the ( connecting to server please wait) when joining rooms, and if you have these anti virus programs.

[Greycloak]

People should not have to change antivirus programs in order to get the game to work. I have Nod32 and the game has worked fine up until a few days ago.

sn1peyou

They don't have to, those are just the only options i know of, and the anti virus programs i am aware of. But i fixed both of my computers, and a few of my friends computers so far, so i'm pretty sure it will solve the problem for everyone that follows.

Can anyone confirm that this works?

sn1peyou

I just did it, about 10 minutes ago and it worked for me, but if you don't want to delete your anti virus, find your exceptions in tools, and add a new path, and then just add game guard which is located in your crossfire folder.

T0XlC

Ok i'll try it then.

sn1peyou

Make sure you go to your exceptions, and then add a new path, and find the gameguard folder and enable it and save it.

I noticed that you are noticing that everyone has windows xp service pack 3. Pretty much 90% of people that don't have vista use this, so i'm pretty sure that this isn't it. My friend has windows xp service pack 3 and he is playing.

this method does not work i thinking the game just started to work for him
also if anti virus was blocking the game you shud be prompted about it also
if i remember correctly before they changed from suba there was a thread posted about how to get it work usin a anti-virus....

so yea hopefully they will get a solution soon


(PS: you say im a MOD wannabe)


wat cos i posted a few links to people to look at to help them with there issues
so i guess that makes you one to ...

sn1peyou

0rmy, i said tell me IF it helps you. Please read before you comment. And you were acting like a wannabe MOD yesterday.

If possible could everyone post a screen shot of their Processes also(CTL+ ALT+DEL)

Thanks

I think the disconnects are a problem on CrossFire's end.

I am having the problem where the "Connecting to channel" box pops up with the OK button, even though I am connected to the channel. And after I click OK the game closes.

Here are my specs:

Gateway 7426GX Laptop

Mobile AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+ 2.41 Ghz
1 GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon 9600/9700 Graphics Card

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3


and I agree that the problem started a few days ago because I've been playing just fine for months.

Polarpop

this is useless

Listen

If I try to make a new room or Get invited theres a 50% chance of it workin for me. I can then play. If i log off i have to do this again but it wont always work.

I HAVE HAD A FRIEND LOG ON MY COMPUTER AND JOIN ANY GAME.

I have try to log on to his computer and it wont connect.

so i know that its not my computer it has to do with something reading my player?

Telling system info will not help becaues i have played all day and now i cant.

not my computer.
