Crossfire won't Load

Okay I have installed Crossfire, it patched. Then the xtrap/hgwc thing went up easily. However after that is done patching nothing happens, no error, no nothing. I have tried rebooting did not help. Also if I go to relaunch crossfire it gets to there then says hgwc is already running. any Ideas?

  • Patience?
    How long are you waiting after the HGW window before you give up?
  • first time 15 minutes... if it doesn't pop by then or even register in the active processes's i figured chances are it wouldn't load. I do see the HGWC.exe in the process's but nothing happens from there. Before I tweaked a few things I was getting the "Timed Out Waiting for Initializing Xtrap-Engine" error message. I'm assuming its probably the same problem.

    I haven't been able to play since they started using the Xtrap software. used to play years ago when the hacking was horrible didn't even have axe's out yet :P Since Xtrap CF doesn't work on any of my desktops nor labtops :P which is odd for an IT not to be able to figure this out. Starting to wonder if the software is flawed as I can see from the forums, tons of people have problems revolving around xtrap.
  • Do you have an anti-virus... if so, is the Z8Games folder on the exceptions list? Maybe that could be an underlying cause..
    Sorry I'm not much of a help.

    And yes Xtrap has its flaws... :(
  • I completely removed my antivirus temporarily to see if that was the problem prior to posting here so nope that's not the issue. I see the xtrap thing pop up on my taskbar for like 5 seconds then it disappears ><
