they will never move their fat asses and do something....
That don't help you!
You using Firefox but you have still IE8 and that IE8, not Firefox, is blocking by XTrap
BTW for guys using IE8 and with "Timed Out Waiting for Initializing xtrap-engine"

What means XTrap blocking many of IE8 users because IE8 is something like Bypass*(I think it's good explain
)

We've been tracking the current Xtrap issues, and the biggest issue we currently see is the "XTrap has Failed to initialize" type error.
It won't allow people to run the game!
This is an error we would like to fix. In an attempt to collect better data for our Developers and Xtrap we need some specific information from the people receiving this error.
Specifically we need to know:
1. What Anti Virus program are you using?
2. Have you added any xtrap or game files to an exception list?
3. Have you tried disabling the virus program during installation and running of the game?
As for Solutions to the problem.
First make sure your running Cross Fire in administrator mode.
McAffee has updated their program and should no longer detect any CF Files are false positives.
Some free virus scanners are detecting some CF files as trojans. This is a FALSE POSITIVE. CF Contains no malicious files.
Make sure to disable your virus scanner during all phases of the game. Download, Installation and Running. At the very least as a test to see if the game functions normally under these conditions.
We are specifically looking to see if there is a common anti virus program that is causing these errors while the game is running.

And another thread on McAffe:
http://forum.z8games.com/showthread.php?t=22126
These threads may contain helpful hints to getting your Cf running.
Lastly, Xtrap has been known to conflict with SOME video caputuring and voice communication software. Skype, Fraps etc. may not run properly or conflict with the game when running. Make sure to try and close those extra programs down when running CF. Again, as a test to see if the game will function without them.
We will be looking for Xtrap updates that will fix some of these compatibility issues, but right now we need to collect as much data as possible.
Thanks everyone! -
ok i think this might help some of you. (note i said some not ALL)
un-install crossfire (yes i know you have all tried this jus be patient with me)
ok now go into your program files and delete the crossfire folder.
Program files> (it might be names SubaGames or Z8 games) just right click on it and delete it.
your prolly asking "Why would I want to delete this folder?"
A: Simple, there might be some errors within some of the files.
ok now go and find a link to download crossfire and then install and update it.
I hope this helps.

i have tried this on multiple occasions it does not work! -
1. What Anti Virus program are you using?
I am using McAfee.
2. Have you added any X-trap or game files to an exception list?
It has always been working, Didn't need to add it to exception list. McAfee is not affecting the game.
3. Have you tried disabling the virus program during installation and running of the game?
Yes i disabled virus protection, spyware protection, system guards, and the fire wall.
I've re-dowloaded it twice already and i run the game and 2 mintues later " Xtrap has times out" please get this fix asap don't wanna get kicked out of my clan, for being inactive.

Can you guys give an estimate on approximately how long this XTrap fixing will take?! I mean, from what I've read in the previous posts, this problem has been going on for months. Crossfire is the best FPS I've played and I don't want to quit because of some XTrap problem. I don't have McAffee and I'm on a Windows 7. I'm getting the Failed to Initialize XTrap error thingy.

if you have Windows Xp Service Pack 3, you should uninstall Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8 to default version. now reboot computer and install Service Pack 3, again reboot computer. Install Crossfire, but do not update Internet Explorer, to more late or latest version

1.McAfee
2.No
3.Yes
P.S. While I was doing this I tried to get in again... YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT POPPED UP! This used to be my favorite game. Then I got the X-Box but I am coming back to this. I thought Suba Games was horrible. Z8Games NEEDS more moderators. By the way, look up WinnerAS in the statistics! That was my old account. Hurray!
P.P.S. I'm a 12 year old. I need a good description of what you people are talking about. -
