Still Not Working
O.k after several restarts,Uninstalling/reinstalling,Driver updates,SP3 packs and trying anything else I could think of.It's still not working.I don't have any anti-virus of any sort so anything like that is ruled out.Firewall isn't blocking it as far as I know and if it is, it doesn't give me a window with any kind of error.It could be it,Not sure. Here's a screen shot if anyone knows what's up or is having the same error as me and has fixed it.
Up for any suggestions if you got em'
Thanks-

Oh yeah, it gives me the error BEFORE I can type in my log in information and right after it says "Installing character messaging"( I think that's what it says,kind of fast to read ) in the bottom right where it also says the load progress percent (i.e 60%-100%)

Frustration!
O.k.Here's an update on what further actions I've taken to fix it ( It's NOT fixed yet! ) so any people with advice can know what all I've tried so far.
I forwarded a port on my linksys router, because due to the certain error I've gotten,Which is something to do with connectivity/Internet rather then the new anti hack system.
Well,Although it seemed cleaver,It did absolutely nothing.I'm still getting the same exact error "Could not connect to server" BTW,This error box is an ingame one (I.E when you get kicked from a server the box that appears stating "You have been kicked" But instead it says the error I'm getting) I'm not sure if that matters but I think it only further out rules the anit hack system.
Please,I've seen nothing else about this error on the forums and am completely out of ideas.
Shoot,Tell me I'm screwed and will never be able to play gain...Just tell me something!!!!
( GM!!!! )
Thanks

Bumped**Alright, I know and understand A LOT of people are having problems and you guys are busy trying to figure out the many bugs,But at least you are reply
ing to theirs.What the heck man,Let me know SOMETHING.....I've already eliminated more then half the things it could possibly be.So your knowledgeable advice couldn't be that hard to give out at this point. -
i have the exact same error bro and have tried all the same stuff u have i even emailed crossfire asking for some sort of assistance with it but they have not given me nothing! Not a good way to run a business considering its been 2-3days!
Yeah,No kidding.That is a horrible way to run a business,I agree.I'm a paying customer and this IS a business.So...Where's the translation of "Customer Support" being lost?
My items are expiring as I type...Personally I think I should get a refund! Along with yourself and the other 20 dozen people who put money into the pockets of the owners of a game we can no longer play.
Now, I must state that z8 is one of the best,If not the VERY best "Free game" when it comes to improving overall game play.They update anti hacks frequently.They give new weapon updates quiet a bit and CF is hands down the best "Free" FPS shooter you can play...If you think I'm B.S-ing you,Compare z8's CF to ijji's Soldier Front.That game has been out for years and they have only updated it,What? Twice since Beta? OH! And you can't forget ijji was nice enough to give out a new map, every other year! ijji Also blatently rips you off.They are robbing kids milk money.
But enough of ijji,It's crap.
Either way,If your Z8,ijji,C.A it doesn't matter.....They all laugh on their way to the bank with their shiny sports car which people like you and I paid for.
Warranty!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha...FIX THE GAME! Or tell me how to fix my computer so it works! -
i had this error while ago, didnt really do anything, it just fixed by itself
Cool!!!! So it's a waiting game! Do I get to sing "Bingo-Was-His-Name-O" While I play?
How about 'Ole Mc.Donald had a farm?!!? I love that song! I LOVE THIS GAME! Weeeeeee!
I'll imagine I'm in Battle Galactic fighting off slimy martian invaders with Shark Boy and Lava girl while singing "I stuck it in the stink hole!"( Great hit in the 80's )
I'd rather just drink beer and wait for my hair to come in grey. I'm not waiting around for this game to just "fix its self" I'm over it.
Honestly, the only good advise I've gotten.
Thank you

I have a similar problem, i log in and after 2 minutes of gameplay it says i "Disconnected from Server" This is super annoying!!11
Fraid i dont know about your problem had a butt load of anti virus problems myself spent the whole freaking day trying to play and no luck
My best suggestion is wait till the end of the week when they hopefully release new patch to debugg this one and try again -
If we had a definitive fix I would gladly be here to give you the answer.
This is obviously a relatively random and unique error. For the few people that have had this over time the error has seemed to correct itself.
The crux of the matter is that we don't know why your particular system setup is different from the thousands of other pc's out there who are able to connect and play the game normally.
Connection errors like this happen randomly to different people, different systems and even affects every other game! I shudder to think how many people flame Valve because of the 4 hours they couldn't seem to connect to Steam on that one Tuesday 4 months ago...
I wish I had something better to say. Beyond the standard common solutions for a random problem like this you need to provide more computer informaton. You have mentioned that your not running your virus or firewall, which is a good first step. But we need to determine what about your computer is different from another users. Any computer specs that might be relevant are better ways for us and the community to try and help you. Hopefully by providing further steps and attempts the community will be able to chime in with further ideas.
edit: As an edit I will look at your account and see if there is anything on our end that might be preventing you from connecting. -
And as a follow up, it seems that I can connect to your account with our systems here, so I can at least rule out for you a problem on our end.
This would indicate that it would be something with your system that is conflicting with CF and not allowing it to run. -

First of all I would like to THANK YOU! All that I really wanted was some help.I kind of felt like those 2 days when Comcast said they would be at my house ( to fix my T.V ) between the 17th & 18th from the times 11:00 to 5:00...As if I'm supposed to wait around for two days for them to show up when they felt like it.
Alright,Hardware specs.
Mother board-
ASUS M3N72-D AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Video card(s)-
EVGA 512-P3-N873-AR GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP
( x2 sli'd/Currently not Sli'd so I only have one )
Forgot the brand name and information of my memory.4 gigs.
Processor-
AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION 2.5GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor Model
Just reformatted so not to many programs,But I'll name them off just in case any of them are known for conflicting with CF.
Software-
Windows 32 bit XP Home Edition,SP3
EVGA precision advanced Graphics Tuning.
Counter Strike 1.6 ( Cracked )
Mozilla Firefox ( latest ver. release )
Ventrilo Client
......CrossFire......
Nvidea driver/Control panel ( Don't know what version it is,If you need I can find out )
Internet Explorer version 7.
Growler Guncam.
And the rest of it is standard Window programs.
I don't know if this matters,But when installing Windows I clicked the "Quick install" option rather then the other one.I erased the old Partition.[GM]Saidin wrote: »I shudder to think how many people flame Valve because of the 4 hours they couldn't seem to connect to Steam on that one Tuesday 4 months ago...
Yeah,I know right?
I think it's a little different with CrossFire though.I have items that expire and that is money that came out of my pocket.I can go without playing,Fine, but when I'm paying for a "Free game" more then what it would cost to play a game that I actually bought AND the items I paid for expire! I think that's reason enough for people who can't play to be somewhat P.O'd rather then just "OMG I'm going to die if I can't play" Ya know?
If you need anymore information or if I left something out just get to me on this thread.
Again though,Thanks for the help. -

my friend has that problem too
Not sure how to fix it honestly,Otherwise I would.
The only advise I've gotten is to "wait until it fixes itself"
..So you,Your buddy and myself are screwed until then and who knows when, "When" is....
