Disconnected due to Incorrect player/map info - Updated post please read

conan36

I have disconnected my linksys router and go directly from my modem to my computer and I am able to play Crossfire with no more (incorrect map info errors). I have tried this for several days before posting this, switching back and forth between router and modem. I know this is not as fix but atleast I am able to play now.

maybe its the scripts error that causes the game to fail
SO if Z8 were to remove some patches then perhaps it would stop failing?



Cos this incorrect map info is annoying

Me and Greycloak tried to find a fix but couldnt yet have found the reason why we are DC'ing using wireshark. Greycloak has passed information to Saidin, and possibly hopefully Saidin has passed it to the developers. We can expect a fix real soon.

grammer error

From what I've been able to tell it looks like this is due to a communication error, although I'm not sure of the exact nature. Normal TCP connections go through a 3 way handshake to establish communications: SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK. When I view threat_exe's wireshark log I can see: SYN, SYN-ACK, RST. So it looks like somehow the handshake isn't being completed.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the game itself, but likely a problem with the way either Windows or your network card is handling the transmission of data. Hopefully we will have a solution for you soon.

there isn't any permanent fix, I still feel that there is something wrong with the server, patch notes

Or anything somewhere, probably will take an extremely long time
Considering that 3months have passed?

Hello Players.

We have new information we need to collect from you regarding this disconnect issue.

Please list the manufacturer of your ROUTER (if any) that you are playing on. If not please list that too.

[Greycloak]

It looks like we may be getting closer to a solution. Anyone who is getting this error and is using a router, try plugging your computer directly into your modem thus bypassing the router. If it works then we have narrowed it down to a router issue.

You can also refer to your router's documentation on how to add computers to the demilitarized zone (DMZ). This puts the computer outside of the router's firewall. So far this seems to have worked for at least one person. If you try this I highly recommend making sure that the Windows Firewall is active on your connection.

Me and Grey has been working on this for past 3 days, trying out different solutions, today it seems that my router was the problem.

I switched router firewall off first, CF started working properly, then greycload advised me to use the DMZ feature and i used it and now its working.

I have tested the same thing with 2 other friends that use the same router and it is working.

Hope this works for you.

I agree that it appears wireless routers are the main cause of this problem. I've noticed recently that my router is acting up (not just with Crossfire) so that could be the cause of my problem.

I also sometimes play during school on their computers and Crossfire runs amazingly smooth with under 60 ping. I however, cannot connect directly to my modem because of house circumstances...so....man

Anyways

IGN: Namwin

Map you were playing on: All of them

How many times a day this happened: Usually 15-20 min after I start, then it's continuous and almost immediate upon login after that. Have to restart the computer just to get it to be 15-20 min again. VERY rarely, I can miraculously play after the 15-20 min without DCing and the problem disappears for that one sitting and I can play for hours without DCing.

There can be other solution other than directly connecting to modem.

but, some people like me only d/c in every pub but i nevered d/c in a clan war why is this?
i dont really think its the router problem since i haven't d/c before the next patch came out

[Greycloak]

The fact of the matter is that three different people who were receiving this error got it corrected today by adding their computers to the DMZ in the router. I have checked on the network traffic, and even if the game isnt running they were unable to maintain a proper connection to the xtrap server. Not only that, but when they plugged their computer directly into the cablemodem the game functions perfectly.

These three people also never had problems on the clan server.

Also, a word of caution: if you do use the DMZ feature of your router, be sure that the window firewall is active if you do not have other firewall software.

hope this info helps. thank you

I believe that is the same router that threat_exe is using. Consult the user manual on how to move your computer into the demilitarized zone (DMZ) and make sure your windows firewall is enabled. That should allow you to play without disconnects.

If you can't figure it out, PM me with the exact full model number of the router (it should be on a sticker somewhere) and I can walk you through it.

Regardless of whether its a wired or wireless connection, everything passes through the router's firewall by default.

IGN; SkorcHades
Maps; Nearly all
Occurances; every second game almost, it lets me play for 5 minutes, then it just crashes
Another problem is also random disconections which seem to happen around the same time. (5-10 mins after starting crossfire so possibly related)
Other Programs; only Avast! antivirus and C-media 3D audio configuration
Both are running in background and shouldn't affect the game files.

QiiK

Wait so 'why' don't you d/c on the clan server?

[Greycloak]

I'm not really sure about that, but that's the way it seems to be. I have an idea, but I don't want to say anything unless I know for sure.

i followed ur instructions and placed my gaming pc in the DMZ zone and my windows firewall is enabled by default. Now i will have to play for a few hours and i will let u know the results. Thank You

I'm just saying that's what it seems to be at the moment. If there's a different problem then I will stand corrected

Try putting your computer in the demilitarized zone (DMZ) like I suggested, or disable the router's firewall.

This is very unlikely since the problem is definitely based on the router and has nothing to do with the game client itself.
