10K ZP to anyone who solves 'connection has been delayed'

Instead of using the router, plug in a ethernet cable from the router to your PC. It makes life way easier. Reason being...

1. When you have a router, your PC is making constant talk with the router to the internet. The reason why people spike usually is because there's a glitch that makes the "talk" be delayed. So even though you did hit a button before someone, you end up getting knocked back.

2. The ethernet cable will be streaming at 100mbps not 54 so you'll have a more stable ping and smoother gameplay. Not to mention that since your PC isn't working as hard to keep the "talk", your fps may improove as well.

3. where's my 10k zp? :P

Grats Alex, now enjoy CF again

Hey Alex I am a Network Engineer (CCNP) for the Michelin Corp. If you don't mind give this internet debug a run and post the results link back here. I don't care much for the 10k zp but I do care to help you get this resolved so you can play again. Also that test will take around 5-7 minutes to run and you will need to allow it via windows firewall when it ask as well as allow the java run time to install there content to be tested. The test is 100% legit as this is one of the ones I use at work to help troubleshoot problems.

for some reason i dont trust that iownturface... i wouldnt download something from a link by a person with that name and not known.

With just a quick google search "DGN1000 issues with online games" I found similar problems with many other games. If your internet is running ok, ping 38ms, download 3+ mbps its clearly that the problem comes from the router.

Someone suggested not using the router, but that may not be possible in some cases. If you have only one PC connected to the internet, try to remove the router and connect directly from the modem, if thats your config.

Example:


If you dont have a modem, just a wireless router I think thats the problem. From what I read the router has a builtin parental control of some sort which automotically blocks some applications.

Extract from
http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.u/Shop/ShopDetail.asp?ProductID=8583

Live Parental Controls, powered by OpenDNS™

• Blocks unsafe Internet content and applications
• Customise settings through Web browser, accessible remotely
• Protects connected devices through the router such as PCs, gaming consoles, and iPod touch® And it’s FREE! See CD inside for installation
• To learn more visit www.netgear.com/opendns

So my guess is to try and remove/disable that feature and If that doesnt work try contacting them and ask support via my.netgear.com https://my.netgear.com/myNETGEAR/support.asp

Pm me if that worked, those 10K zp sparkled my curiosity

I had this problem before. To solve it, go to your crossfire folder, right click on crossfire.exe, select properties, then compatability. Uncheck run in compatability mode, that worked for me.

Why not just buy a new router?

Instead of giving people 10k zp which is roughly $10 just go buy a crappy router for $20 or a decent one for $40..

Also some ISP's will provide you a free router. Comcast gave me a free one you just have to ask.

just a random thought have you tried compatability mode?
