Client file corruption detected

allesgek

Hi there,

After i bought a new Asus laptop i can not not play the game anymore. The game loads en update`s normal (all 12 steps) 10 seconds later i got the message: "client file corruption detected, closing game client". I installed the game several times on several locations, but it does not run. The laptop runs on Windows 8.1 with 8 gb ram and Nvidia GF 740M card. My "old" laptop runs on Windows 7 and (still) does play the game without errors. I turn off the antivirus (Microsoft security essentials) and firewall, still the game does not run.
What should i do??

This is the answer on my question to support:

"Hello,

Thank you for contacting the CrossFire Support team about your technical issue.

If your computer currently meets our minimum system requirements (http://crossfire.z8games.com/support_start_game_sys_req.aspx) we first recommend restarting your computer and trying again. Occasionally, anomalies may occur the longer a system has been up and running. If the problem is fixed after a restart, this may explain the situation you are experiencing.

After restarting if the problem persists, please check your DirectX version and the date on key system drivers such as your network card and graphics card to ensure that everything is up to date.

If you have any serious difficulties loading the game, we recommend you uninstall the game using the official uninstaller located on your start menu (http://crossfire.z8games.com/support_how_to_Uninstall.aspx). Then please go to the main Crossfire website and download our newest client version on the download option page: http://crossfire.z8games.com/downloads2.aspx. Here is a complete guide on how to install CrossFire: http://crossfire.z8games.com/support_start_game_how_to_install.aspx. Please re-install the game and try again.

Finally, we recommend examining any hardware or software that interacts with your internet connection between your computer and your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Routers, firewalls, anti-virus software and the like can occasionally interfere with your connection to CrossFire. You should provide or make "exceptions" (put CrossFire in the list of safe programs) so that the game can pass through any security settings you may have enabled. Also viruses or spyware may also cause issues for the game. We recommend scanning your computer for any viruses and spyware's, and remove them.

Lastly make sure to close down any applications which may be running prior to launching CrossFire as these may interfere with the running of the game.

You may also wish to try posting your issue on our Technical Issues Forum (http://forum.z8games.com/forumdisplay.php?f=13). Some players may have the same issue you are experiencing and the player community may be able to assist with your specific issue further there, but please keep in mind that all advice offered on that forum is given "as-is" and is not necessarily endorsed or recommended by SG Interactive, Inc/G4Box."
