Can someone please answer me this?

I left the game and returned to it yesterday (during 1 and a half month), and now when i try to enter a map it's like 15 times slower than usual... What's happening? Is something wrong with the servers?

I must know, because if this "slowness" persists i'm forced to quit playing...

Game working fine for me. I'm guessing it's something with your connection. By the way, if you'll quit, Gimme your account.

motobikes1 · October 2011

Give my account? of course...

My internet connection is the same as usual...

Idk if it's because i'm playing on UK servers...

I play in UK servers as well. Actually I play on both NA and UK servers. Mostly UK though, got no problems what so ever.

Entering the game (when you put password and your nickname), takes the usual time, but entering on a map takes 10 times more than usual... And i'm not being sarcastic... 10 times...

Try re-installing the game, and reboot your internet router.

motobikes1 · October 2011

I already did that...
Still persists...

If the game keeps being slow on entering the maps i'm forced to quit playing

I doubt internet connection would grossly affect your map loading time. This comes from the disk, not the internet. (Or should anyway) Assuming you are using the same computer, how full is your hard drive and also have you defragged it recently? Lack of ram could also cause this. What % is ram usage when you are loading?

motobikes1 · October 2011

My computer is old... it only has 512MB but it never was a problem to play... always fast entering the maps... my hard disk is about 60% full,i defragged it yesterday... the % ram used idk...

corkin · October 2011

512MB definitely sounds like it could be the problem. That is the minimum for cf so you probably shouldn't expect awesome performance. A program like gamebooster may help some. You can monitor ram by opening the task manager, and clicking the processes tab. The memory column is ram usage. Totals are at the bottom.

motobikes1 · October 2011

I always had 512MB and it worked just fine... but now idk what's happening
What is gamebooster?

corkin · October 2011

It's possible that you have more background processes running now that the computer is older. Even a few could make a large difference since you are already using virtual memory.

motobikes1 · October 2011

What is gamebooster anyway?

corkin · October 2011

It might help stop some processes that use computer resources.

512MB? WOW! Go buy more rams. Not for cf but in general. You need to upgrade your pc.

lol, get a new pc

My suggestion is to download Game Booster, yes.

offtopic: can someone download GameBooster 3? Because I can't.

WellKinG · October 2011

Is not it your internet?
perhaps your computer, which is too heavy

Its most likely a combination of bare minimum RAM, a heavily fragged hard-disk, and lots of backround programs running.

When ever Crossfire updates it saves the update in the first available memory section. This section may be no where near the main sections, so your computer must spend more time finding the new info.

So first Uninstall Crossfire, use Disk De-frag on your computer, and then reinstall Crossfire.
This will make Crossfires data all next to each other again.

Gamebooster is a program that stops all non-essential programs from running, freeing up the CPU for you. helpful with old computers or computers with lots of programs.

RAM is not something that can be fixed for free or in a timely manner, but I'd suggest buying a new computer with at least 4GB of RAM. 512MB is way to small for this age, internet explorer alone today takes nearly 1GB to run.

Making a Diagram to explain what a Fragmented hard disk is.

"_" = Open Memory.
"X or *" = Used Memory. (stupid anti spam filter)
"C" = Crossfire Memory.

When you first started using this computer it's memory would of looked like this.
*********X_______________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________

Then you installed Crossfire a long time ago.

*********XCCCCCCCCCC____________________________________
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________

After crossfire was installed and before the next patch you probably installed other games and programs.

*********XCCCCCCCCCC*********X_________________________
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________

Then came the next Crossfire patch, it saved in the first available memory.

*********XCCCCCCCCCC*********XCCCC_____________________
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________

Now for what ever reason you decided to uninstall some programs.

*********XCCCCCCCCCC***X___***CCCC______________________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________

Then came the next patch.

*********XCCCCCCCCCC***XCC_***CCCC______________________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________

After long time and a few more patches your memory probably looks like this.

*********XCCCCCCCCCC***XCC***XCCCC***************XXCCX
*********XCCC************XXCCCC_************CC******XX
*********************CC*********************C***XXCCCC
CC************X____________________________________________

All the Crossfire data is not in order and is also scattered around, The computer needs to find all this data for it to be loaded. Finding the Data takes time, to fix this one needs to uninstall crossfire and defrag the hard-disk memory.

You want your Memory to look like this.

try deleting all your p0rn,
reinstall windows while you're on it too.

The minimum is usually the recommended, and isn't tailored to the latest game patch specifically. Things change.

motobikes1 · October 2011

The game was improved last year ok i understand that...

When i played like a month ago the loading time was like 5 seconds...

Now it's like 1 minute.

There's been two patches. A lot could have happened in between. I honestly doubt that it's the game, as everybody claims to not have this issue. The only other factor in question is your computer.

My cousin has 4GB RAM DDR3, and he's complaining about the same. It's not as slow as me but still takes much more

Can someone please answer me this?
