Missing DLL

Unkn0wn099

CrossFire keeps giving me an error message that "MSVCP80.DLL is missing etc..." I've downloaded and installed the game twice (1103 and 1107) but same error. I downloaded some fixes from ********** and YouTube but still same problem. Someone please help me!

Search for the MSVCP80.dll file in your crossfire folder. As you found it you should see a date next to the normal name of that file. Simply delete the date of the name and your game should run as usual.

I just had the same issue, tried uDream's suggestion, it didn't work, so I did a total un-install & deletion of all Z8 & CrossFire game & folders, came here to CF's website, & did a whole new download of the game. I ran & installed it, let it do all of its updates, started the game up, & it finally worked for me. Everything is now back to normal. Good Luck! :-)

I have solved the problem myself and for many people. All you have to do, is update your Windows via Automatic Updates. Simple as that. Don't redownload or reinstall, they dont work, just update your Automatic Updates.

We don't have a lot of information on this, including how or why the error is occurring. We're relaying this now to players as a potential additional solution to solve the problem.

Thanks!

go to the crossfire folder, there should be a file with the name "MSVCR80.dll_2012_***".
remove the numbers (the date), so the file is just named "MSVCR80.dll" and save.

now you can play

just do this and it should work
