OK i give up ...

MajorChaos

So i know about the game not workin with windows 7 x86 so i decide to upgrade from the rc1 to windows 7 64bit.

But i still can't get the game to work. I have installed the latest nvidia drivers package for my card and directx (i'm not sure if it's needed) but when the game gets to the point to add your name and password i can't because the blue circle (egg timer) is spinning and if i click anywhere the game just shuts down.

I Have read it should work fine on 64bit windows 7 but it's not here. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

I think it only works with 32bit

MajorChaos

I can assure you its the 64bit version that works not the 32bit (x86).

Anyway my bad it seems the avast "on-access scanner" is the problem so both avast and avg free cause problems with the game.

Oh well off to find another antivirus.

Have a look round the technical forum daniel and you'll see all the people with 32 bit windows 7 making threads.

I tried crossfire when i was running windows 7 rc1 32 bit and got the 64bit version because i was bored of swapping to my xp partition every time i wanted a game. lol

DoctorBee

oh well, what i've been hearing is the 62bit doesnt work, and the 32bit does :S im just saying what ive seen.

32bit version does not work at all.

64 bit does work for some..(not for me..:( )

Windows 7 32 Bit is NOT working, the only Windows 7, that runs Crossfire, is the 64 Bit Version!
Heres what you can try:
Check, if you got the latest Windows Updates installed.
Start the game as Administrator.
Add a Exception into your Antivirus program for the following files: crossfire.exe, gameguard.des and gameguard.mon
Check your firewall if the above named applications got full access to the Internet.

Yo i have windows 7

BadName334

i have 64 bit

Yeah i CAN confirm windows 7 64bit works great.

If anyone has any problems with it hanging on load up (NO bsod with 64bit) Then check your antivirus because i found both avg and avast have active web components that seem to stop it working.

Nod32 is working fine with it tho.
