crossfire.exe Client MFC stopped workong

AtreyuZeroSix

Hi guys, I need help with this error. This is not the first time I get this error it has happened before in the past and the only way to fix it is with an update but I wanna see what you guys have to say about it.

so the error happens exactly after the xigncode download its updates then crossfire.exe crashes.
I get "client MFC stopped working" and it says it's and appcrash on the crossfire.exe .
I tried some troubleshooting options to see if it could be fixed like disabling antivirus, adding crossfire to DEP (data execution prevention) exceptions . My drivers are updated and this started happening since the first update of may. I'm unable to play the game since that.

I've done some research on the web about the error and it seems this error is common on games running the liltech engine. But I don't know why it's happening to me. Anyone else is having this?
I've reported this through support ticket and there has been a few technical updates to the game but they haven't fixed this yet.

What are the hardware specs of your PC ?

Possible solutions:
- Try disable the aero ( windows 7 )
- Start game as administrator and compatibility mode windows 7

Also tried those and nothing, still crashes.

My system is:
Windows 7 Professional (32)
Intel Dualcore 2.0 GHz
Zotac GeForce 210 (1GB)
1 GB Ram

1. This particular game tend to use 95%-100% the CPU only for on dual core CPU's - you can check if that happend also on your PC by opening a task manager, then run game in window mode and see how much procent of CPU is used by crossfire.exe, like in this image :

* ignore the Speedfan window, is another program i use to check temperature and other infos and is displaying total CPU usage in that image

2. Your amount of RAM is really low for today requirements ... your PC can run windows 7, but most like is struggling and take a lot of time for complete any task AND the game alone use betweem 800 and 1600 MB ram when you play - so most like the main reason is the low amount of RAM you have on your PC.

If only I could get into the game I would gladly show you this information, but since the may update I'm unable to open the game. And this particular post is about that issue.
But even if the problem was my system specs, how come the game performance doesnt even improve a little bit by reducing the graphics quality to "optimal performance" @ 800x600? So now what, do I need a Core i7 CPU to run the game with that resolution? That's ridiculous. If that's the case then they should update the minimun requeriments on the download page and maybe I could move on and find another game to play.

I know I have a limitation with 1gb of RAM and that's why I don't run more then 1 or 2 programs at the same time. But that doesn't mean I can't run CF.
For example I can run games like Enemy teritory quake wars which is a game far superior than CF in terms of graphics, that game uses id tech 4 engine which is a better and more demanding engine than CF's own. And can run that game at 720p with 30 fps stable (it's capped at 30 fps), and that game uses more complex shadows, lighting, bigger terrains, and more particles system. So why can't CF run better than this and it doesn't have any of those features?

And all these issues started aggravating (at least for me) since the Crater Dawn update. And since the may update I'm unable to pen the game.
