Some info about the "HGW game watcher" problem that MIGHT help GMs.

OK so I can see many people are having this problem where CF skips the "downloading patch" box and goes straight to the "HGW game watcher", where nothing then happens. So I've decided to go snooping around the CF files, and I've tried to find some things that the CF technicians might want to know.

Local Disk C > Program Files > Z8Games > Crossfire > HGWC > FWatcher > 2010-04

After going through the listed files, I found a WHOLE HEAP of notepad documents, all labelled: FWatcher_"~~~~" where "~~~~" means a date, followed by a seemingly random 6 digit number. Each and EVERY single one of them have the same message, except for the start, which I think is the time you tried to start CF.


For example, one of the notepad documents

FWatcher_2010-04-13 09_0002: (title)

09:45:50 [Error] Socket Error : 10053. (the message)


Like stated above, ALL the notepad documents seem to have the same message inside it, except for the start, which seems like the time.

I hope this might be of use to the GM's...if not, oh well...at least I tried.
