10K ZP to anyone who solves 'connection has been delayed'
Here is a challenge for those of you like these sort of things, my Crossfire wont work, and hasn't been for ages.
The problem is well documented - trying to join a game on crossfire merely gives you a half loaded bar before 'connection has been delayed' pops up and you get booted to the lobby. Yet noone has actually posed a solution (many people have posted supposed solutions that they assume work even though they dont).
So I am willing to offer 10k ZP for the answer, just so you know, this isnt a case of turning off the firewall/virus scan/ windows firewall, been there, done that. If anyone here is good at networking stuff then their suggestions would be welcome. You may as well post any random ideas you have as I dont care have odd the solution may be (please try and exclude self-harm..
) The qualification for success is me being able to join ONE Crossfire game without an error popping up, at which point I will gift you some ZP (probably by buying a playspan card).
Additional Detail:
Router - I reckon the problem is with my router.
Have tried:
Opening Ports
Clean Install
Changing Wireless Adaptor
I will check the suggestions, ie test them, tomorrow.
If the above proposal isn't allowed, please feel free to unleash the banhammer (mercy, mercy!).

Internet service was able to play CF in the past at 40 ping.
Computer is pretty modern, ie, 4GB 1666MHz RAM, 2.8GHz i5 CPU, Graphics were at 200fps when I could play.When was the last time you were successfully able to join a match?
Router model?
Maybe like 4-6 months ago, router model is as above, DGN1000. (sorry I mistyped it the first time) -
Uninstall the game, Delete everything you have of Crossfire on your computer,Delete things that you dont use anymore on your computer, Restart your computer, Make sure your Running as Admin, Now go and download the newest Crossfire version, before installing deactivate you virus programs, now install. Dont turn on your antivirus programs yet, First Download game booster. Boost the Game, now patch. Then start Crossfire without antivirus. Hope that helps.

It defrags sh1t that isnt needed when running games. It makes you game run smoothley, it help your FPS. Theres alot that "sh1t" does to help your game.
and alot of people use it. -

my comp is 3-4 years old and runs this game smoothly with a graphics card that is no longer sensed by my desktop. get out of the slums and buy a new computer please -

Thanks for the advice, I will try it - having tried clean installs before it cant hurt to try it with game booster. -

well id dint acctually meant install with game booster i meant download game booster after install and patch with game booster on. but you can still try that. -
It is not his computer nor is the cross fire he has downloaded the people here are idiots.
-his computer is better than mine and I am playing perfectly fine max detail
-his crossfire is fine if it is starting up and working
It has to do with your connection. So it is either your cords or your nat or something along the lines.
Also try;
-Buy a new cable cord that is connecting from a prong to the modem, should be a think black one (that's what she said) if this does nothing, it still may enhance PC speed (the cord should be free or very cheap)
-Buy new Ethernet cable. These should be free from your internet service provider.
-You may have slow internet. Go here; http://speedtest.net/ and show me the results. -
To OP;
Do not bother reading the replies here they will just waste your time and make you more frustrated. You do not need game booster and you do not, absolutely, need to reinstall. Everything is fine, there is something with the connection, not the game. You have twice my FPS, so gamebooster is completely unnecessary. -
just make sure it isnt your interent, Checki the wire coming from the wall to the router for any splits, knots or bends. I have been having probs with crashing and getting that error so i followed the wire from wall to the router and sure enough it had slightly split along the way. (for some reason the bit on the wall where you plug the wire in is upstairs so there is alot of wire to check xD) So i rewired from upstairs to downs stairs and now it is working just fine

Your Pc loads the game too slow, so when you get to the log-in screen or joining a room it says "Connection has been delayed"
That is why I can not play CF on my other PC
So what you're saying is for him to increase either his RAM or get a better processor.
@Alexmeee - If what DDoTt says is the case then maybe try raising your virtual memory if you can't afford more RAM. Another suggestion is to perform a defragmentation cause if your PC is highly fragmented then it's performance will be greatly reduced. Also does your PC overheat?
