Connection delay problem Help please!!

Are you sure you followed all steps when installing the game/setting-up anti-virus correctly?

"- Uninstall the game completely
- Disable your antivirus' realtime protection
- Redownload the game
- Install the game
- Add the entire crossfire folder to your antivirus exceptions
- Re-enable realtime protection

If you downloaded the game with your antivirus active, it may be 'cleaning' the rez file upon download."

Here is the guide to open all game ports:
