I've been waiting for about a month for an answer in this and other threads about this problem . not a fix , a reply . been waiting a month for a reply. I can guess it will be a year or two for a fix.

Haha



true. It is annoying siting in clan server for 5 mins before you can play too.

i still get the same error but for some reason i can do clan wars. and after doing clan wars it allows me to pub. but it will not let me just start up crossfire and pub. really weird

Yes. Sit in Clan server for about 5 minutes then go to pub server. You can pub.

Potential Solution

For those of you who are computer savvy and want to try.
I have forwarded the ports and it still didn't work for me (first time) so if you want to try yourself port forwarding made easy with a program call PFConfig and if you find a (crack) to register it then do your thing if you want to know what the ports are here.

Crossfire Ports
10009
13008

You might do better than me if so help us all man help us all.
Any questions about where to download my answer is Google is your friend.
If you know what your doing. :cool:
(If you want the entire program and crack email me) Its just 2.98MB.

It appears that this error is being caused by certain routers forcibly shutting down the connection to the Crossfire servers. Most home routers have a hardware firewall built into them, which is causing these connections to be dropped.

The first solution, although not optimal, is to connect your computer directly to your modem rather than the router. This should resolve the problem.

The second solution is a little more detailed. Consult your router's documentation on how to either disable the router's firewall, or place your computer in the demilitarized zone (DMZ). Unfortunately because of the sheer number of different routers I am unable to provide a how-to here on the forum. If you are not using a router, be sure to allow all traffic from the the following IP addresses:

SERVER1=74.200.6.161
SERVER2=74.200.6.163

Here are links to the support pages of the most common router manufacturers:

Linksys
http://www.linksysbycisco.com/EU/en/support

Netgear
http://kb.netgear.com/app/

Belkin
http://www.belkin.com/support/

If you would like to try and find the router settings for yourself, you can follow these steps to get to the router's setup screen:

- Go to http://www.routerpasswords.com/ and find the default password for your router
- Open a command prompt window
- Enter IPCONFIG and press enter
- Write down both the IP address and Default Gateway



- Open your web browser and browse to the default gatewayfrom the last step
- Example: if the Gateway was 192.168.1.1, enter http://192.168.1.1



Enter the username and password and you will be presented with the router's configuration page. Look for security and/or firewall options. If trying to move the computer to the DMZ, use the IP address that was listed when you did IPCONFIG.

Once the router's firewall is disabled or the computer placed in the DMZ you will want to make sure that the windows firewall is active, as you will no longer be getting firewall protection from the router.

If you need assistance with this issue, feel free to visit us in the Crossfire IRC chat. The link is in my signature. If I am online and available I would be happy to walk you through the process of configuring your router.

[UPDATE 5/30/2010]

Earlier today I assisted someone on IRC that has been experiencing this error. Upon checking out his router settings, I noticed that the firewall was set by default to a very strict blocking mode. One I added the Crossfire ports of 13008 and 16666 to his firewall exceptions he was able to play without error.

I urge everyone who is experiencing this problem to familiarize yourself with firewall settings, especially router firewalls. There are far too many different models of routers for me to make a specific guide. As always, if you see me in the IRC chat I can assist you with this in realtime.

dude i have no router just a modem and i have the same problem so now what do i do???? i think its just crossfire cause didnt happen to me till the last patch

lol

Have you guys noticed the hidden part of the greycloak's guide ?

Well, Ive added these ports to my router's exceptions manually and... still nothing.

Know wat? Then I turned off the UPNP service both on my router AND PC firewall (plus the additional service that automatically enables upnp, i forgot what was its name) and there you go, 7th match today without a dc.

This may be a temporary solution, but I did some research on upnp service and noticed that it causes my router to drop half of packets sent. This gives us a 50% packet loss.

It seems that (in my case) I was getting the disconnects because the server had no response from my pc for too long because of packet loss - so it disconnected me.

Hope this helps. ( Remember that Virtual Server option means the same that Forward Port)

EDIT: It seems that Greycloak suggested to add exceptions for ports 16666 and 13008. Crossfire FAQ page (support centre) says that in order to play Crossfire effectively you have to enable ports of 13008 and 10009 however. I myself forwarded the ports of 13008 and 10009 only and the game seems to be working fine. Do what you want, I don't know what kind of flow port 16666 is desired for however.

Catches of the mind can not understand the instructions, because I come from the Polish and I do not know English so well. I would like to congratulate for the excellent patch z8games the truth did you manage that now hundreds of people can not safely play in the crossfire. In the crossfire play from the beginning and has never been so disappointed in you. You should do this as soon as possible to the people of the new patch everything worked. Once again, congratulations, as usual, something goes terribly wrong

well well well stupid Z8 Gamez

now im stuck at home doing ****ing nothing cause yall put a stupid ****ing patch on the game to where you have to fix my settings good ****ing job dumb****s

I'm not sure if it's the same problem if you don't have a router but you should try adding those ports to your firewall exceptions.

To do so go to start->control panel->firewall (settings)->exceptions->add port

Then... add those ports (10009, 13008, both udp and tcp so there should be like four exceptions for crossfire in the end).

It's just a suggestion and NO I don't know if it works you have to check it for yourself.

Dude you fuc.king rule I dont know about you guys but this worked for me only thing is im not getting credit for my wins in daily missions.
(Yes Z8 you still suck.)

desconnected

this freakin aint working for me man my upnp is enabled and everything ive uninstalled and reinstalled like 3 times ive restarted comp.duhh......... and not a single freaking thing will work if u find something that actually helps let me no

calm down. Have you read my previous posts? You have to disable upnp as it seems to be messing up (especially) wireless connections.

Then add those ports to the firewall exceptions ( if you have a router, do it on the router as well) and everything (should?) be fine.

Erm.

I'm not really responsible for the patch.

Actually I'm not from z8 at all.

This is not a sollution.

Why the fck is this thread still open? It just makes your computer less secure and doesn't fix anything

CLOSE THIS THREAD AND POST A REAL SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Repairing this error is because people want to play and not a scandal !!!!!!!!!!!!

Id close this information thread and find
another way around the error , or z8 could
attempt to fix the error.

My reasoning ,

1. This isnt a for sure way to fix the error ,
more of a hypothesized study into the cause.

2. Your posting on a video game forum ,
in which alot of children play the game supported.
The chance that they know the risk's
they're going to take disabling
their router's firewall are slim to none.
This generally isn't a way around an
"in game" problem , im more leneant
toward's the z8 team picking up the
slack and fixing the error.
The only way that a game error could
occur , is if the problem was "in game".
There is no possible way that a router's
firewall could inflict "in game" problem's.
Put simply they need to use some of that
"zp money" that the community provides ,
in accordance to "in game" points , to fix
Crossfire error's if they want to keep
paying customer's happy.
Not all kid's ask their parents for help ,
knowing that , your basically putting it out
their for them to attempt and destroy their
own computer's by doing this.
And if the z8 team took care of "in game"
problems as they should , then we wouldnt
be having this situation in the first place.


Just a hint from the wise.
