The game doesn't start after the Halloween Patch (XP)

CFDEATH82 i think z8 don`t deserves their vacation after "hard work" ...
Again items for ZP , nothing for players that`s haven`t got zp , again EE map , again wizard hat + 20% of CF players can`t play thanks their patch .... AND THAT`S "HARD WORK"...

qCanonp nic z tym nie zrobisz , pozostaje tylko czekać na patcha , ale jak widzisz - nie jesteś sam

Crossfire support doesnt answer to tickets... Seems that they having some holydays...

ok for those who got xp 32 bit and install cf with the newest patch and load for nothing it's cuz ur IE8 or IE7 i was on IE7 and got the same problem as all of u (load doesn't appear after HWC run). So uninstall IE doesn't matter your version and reboot ur pc if it's IE5 ur basic one then u could try it otherwise downlaod a ver of IE6 (for those who can't find it just tap on google : [download explorer 6 sp1] or download explorer 6 and it should give u a lots of website to dl it) It work for me i just test it this mornning if u got any question beside the noob one like: how to find it and how to delete it, I'll answer^^

and remember it's for those who HWC load for nothing after it start i'm not sure it's the same case for the 64 bit u could try it but like I said I got the 32 bit one so i'm not sure about yours and for those who got the weird error that have text can't help you

Yes i get the same problem, but mine says, "game client curruption detected, closing game client" over a black screen. I have sent a message to technical support, so if they reply with instructions that work, ill post them here. BTW i have windows xp.

Uninstalling and Reinstalling the Game

The second most important thing to try with regards to loading errors in Cross Fire is to uninstall the game and reinstall from a new mirror.

To do this follow these steps:

- Control Panel -> Z8Games -> CrossFire -> Uninstall CrossFire
- Open Up My Computer
- Delete the CF directory (Program Files/Z8Games/CrossFire/)
- Delete the CF directory (<user>/Document/CrossFire/)
- Disable your anti virus
- Download the newest client from our downloads site
- Install the game from the new download
- Add the entire crossfire folder to your antivirus exceptions
- Re-enable realtime protection

Cross Fire does not contain viruses, however some anti virus scanners will modify game files as you install them. Make sure to disable your Anti-Virus during download and installation. You can add the folders to the exceptions later to re-enable your virus scanner.

As a secondary solution try changing the installation path directory.

Hello after patching the game, and after the HGW loading, the game doesn't start.
It seems to happen only on Windows XP.

am I the only one who have this problem ?
Can someone help me please?

my game works and i have windows xp

When We can play ?!?! Please repair it!!

Finally, is there any way to solve the problem correctly or i must wait that Halloween patch is over?

Internet Explorer delete NO help

Well I still had the 64 bit problem where the game just won't start. The first game page comes up to "start" the game. Xtrap seems to then load fine. Then after the 2 xtrap messages go away, nothing happens. No game. I can look on task manager and the HGDW or whatever it is shows up as running but no Crossfire.
I deleted all Internet Explorers, Shut off Avast, Spybot search and destroy, Adaware and Spywareblaster. Deleted Crossfire and Xfire and all their folders. Ran cleaner to delete what traces in the registry it found. Ran 2 other registry cleaner type programs to get rid of invalid registry entries. Redownloaded Crossfire client file. Set it up again in a totally renamed folder, as well as Xfire.
Same thing, nothing.

After the last patch Crossfire just started working again out of the blue after a week or so. This time nothing. Nothing on the 64 bit. Nothing.
32 bit still works. 64 bit - well nothing.
