CF is SOOO SLOWWW

Not as in gameplay, in fact, gameplay wise, it is fine as ever.

So I came back 2 days ago, and everything from entering a channel, to entering a match is slow as hell. it takes literally 10-30 seconds when before it was instantaneous. It can't be my internet or my ping, I assure you. Sometimes, my match crashes and brings me to the lobby with errors that I can't remember right now...

Any solution? Is it just me?

Thanks.

  • Oh thank god, and to think I was the only one too. Joining a match takes literally 10 seconds, and sometimes you can't even join it because of some "Hosting Issue". I feel you bro, it's not just you. I guess we should just lay off CF for a few days until this issue gets fixed...le sigh.
  • Ahh yes, the hosting issue was the error.

    Idk why, but for me the hosting error pop's up in around 50's. I have to keep clicking "ok" or w/e 50 times... 'bout u?
  • Same here takes so long to go into any Server, Channel, room, or game and when joining host error pops up and i have to quit game
  • I post about this earlier and got a bunch of trolls saying it was my ISP. Where u at now trolls?

    A few things to note.

    Posting "The servers are slow, I can't connect."

    Doesn't do us any good when trying to track down issues. I'm staring at the game population numbers right now, and the thousands of people online right now would seem to contradict your message.

    Now, if you posted some useful information for us like: What servers did you experience this on? What time of day was it? Where are you connecting from? Etc etc. Then we might be able to narrow down the problem faster and be able to determine whether this is something wrong on our end or your end.

    That being said, is anyone experiencing this slow connection outside of the Bravo Server?

    We're tracking an issue right now on Bravo, but have no more information at this time on a cause or a solution. If players want to provide more details with their message then we have a larger pool of information to work with.

    It happens through out the day sometimes it will go back to normal, but for the majority of the day it is slow. And if you think it is happening only at bravo, because it was more crowded there, that is because it was worse than Alpha because that is usually very crowded, so everyone went to Bravo but Bravo got just as worse when people started playing there.

    Hope that helps a bit.

    Sunday: UK4 - 20:30 to 22:30 GMT +2 - Belgium - slow entering of rooms/channels/score screens/storage item shop. Also a slow leaving of storage/item shop/rooms/channels. And a slow switching of teams and joining games (instead of instantly starting with loading the map)

    Monday: Alpha/UK1/UK4 - around 19:00 till 22:15 - Belgium - same stuff as sunday + host errors give a 50ish (I didn't count them, just held down the enter button for about a minute until they all passed) error messages instead of 1. Sometimes it would give you the host error message spam, then start loading the game and kick you out of the room right after it stopped loading.

    Tuesday: UK1 - 19:30 to 22:00 - Belgium - occasional slow loading, 50ish host error messages at once.

    I get a ping that ranges from 100 to 160 on Bravo Server only, I get a stable 66-75 ping on the rest NA servers. I believe Bravo server was moved on one of those maintenance's that was done to the server database a few months ago and the connection from me to the server is taking longer than what it should.
  • Yes, I too am having the same problem. Every game my character starts moving in slow-mo and it's very annoying. Everyone else just catches up with me while I'm still trying to walk to cover. Never happened until last patch.

    This is about the slowness in the lobby, not in the actual gameplay. Can't say I've experienced or heard of your problem so far.

Also i sent in Support Tickets you your damn monkeys that just sent me links where i been and found no solutions to why my cf runs werid on my vista. back to topic. i join then comes my cf black screen, res is all good. bt then my fps is so ****ed. i reinstall about 5 times and didnt work. imma go into it right now n see if it works P.S imma sent another support ticket on why my vista dont like my cf. AND PLEASE LET IT BE YOU WHO ANWERS BECAUSE YOUR MONKEYS JUST GIVE ME OTHER LINKS WHERE I BEEN AND DIDNT FIND A SOLUTION. Thank you. :[
  • Ah well, guess I'm back to Skyrim for the time being. You can do it Z8! Fight this horrendous lag for your people!
  • Kay... now it's really getting on my nerves.

    CF was fine 30 minutes ago, now whenever I try to launch it, I get,

    "File is changed : W[2007] L [0]

    crossfire.exe"

    wtf eesh deesh
  • I've been logging on quite a bit throughout today and yesterday as well, as early as 4 AM and as late as 11 PM (EST in NE Ohio). Launcher seems to be fine, but as soon as I log in, selecting any server, every channel, and every room takes longer (10-20 seconds longer) than before. It's been the same way every time I've logged in today and yesterday. Exiting a match, the scoreboard can take an extra 10-15 seconds to load, and even leaving rooms it takes longer. Every so often I get the host error and it takes anywhere from 30-60 seconds for the dialogue box to finally go away. Also (not sure if it's just me or something I didn't read about before) my ping jumps 20 pts higher in some rooms, whereas before it had been pretty steady around 39-41. Hope this helps.
  • OMG! i thought i was a person who only got that problem. when i started CF my mouse didn't move smoothly. It moved like lagging but my brother's computer didn't get that problem and i did uninstall CF and reinstall but when i hit download, the browser didn't work too :(
    im confusing because my laptop's still good for now

    2 things, just so you know (even though i thought common sense summed it up)

    1. for every 1 CF player on the forums there is probably about 1000 that don't know about the forums, so saying things like "thousands of people online seem to contradict your message" is really just a snooty way of ignoring issues while making yourself look bad, you don't need to be rude. Just my Opinion.

    2. This Lag thing doesn't effect us getting online, in fact your numbers would be correct thousands of people ARE in fact online, however ALL the people i spoke with today reported the same lag issues, but just chalked it up to either their own internet or CF having a bad day. However, so I don't come off as a troll, let me explain my issue, I log into CF fine, I choose a server and wait an additional 45-60 seconds longer than usual(usually instantly) and it loads the channels, repeat for channel selection(on all servers and channels) now assuming i dont get some random error that freezes my game(which has never happened to me before) I get into room selection-which again takes the path of server/channel selection and wastes my time again...meanwhile i can see the chat box is NOT lagging and seems to be moving in real-time (with sean303 spamming free aimbots as usual and random people winning black market items). Now..I get into a game room and attempt to join....same thing wait 45-60 seconds, sometimes i get in others it kicks me to lobby...but assuming i get in, gameplay is 100% normal, better than normal even, game ends, 45-60 secs to load results, it takes about the same amount of time to access storage repair guns or leave the room/channel/server. I know info is critical so I'll let you know my Internet is Fiber Optic, im not a professional IT guy so I cant tell you the exact speed, but I can download a 20 gig file in about an hour, which based on system requirements for this game, it blows it out of the water, my computer is a quad core, with a high end vid card, again, dont know the specifics but I play MW3 on it no problem...this is not a user sided error, this is the CF servers, and I'm aware that you guys will be doing a reboot tonight or w/e...so hopefully it fixes the issue. if you need any more info i can find my random computer booklets and and try to sort my way thru the tech specs.

    pardon my rant...and run-on sentences
  • This usually happens to me during the evening. Literally takes like 20 seconds to join the Alpha server.
  • Saidin listern to what ppl are saying .
    Reboot the servers regulary , then this proplem shouldnt arise again ,



    Plain thick ? --- it dont matter where were from or what time of the day were connecting /to any server most are failed and with this being said this inconsistent game (inconsistent) being the oprative word . is just aload of turks speeding in maps - getting shot thou walls from spawn -- is this the future ? turkys running around like headless chickens
    why ? because you fluffed it again

    If you wanna now where im from and what time of day i connect and what server channel and how many time i go to the tiolet then check my log file ,,,


    Whilst where on this server unstable state subject . i wish for a ping limit on just 1 of the 5 uk servers , it isnt hard to do this . then maybe just maybe us legit players might beable to enjoy this game much better with out the cheating turks RO PL PT Br's and other lagging kids from out side the region ZONE

    GET A GRIP G4 Smilegate , Z8 mods (This got voted again) not sure why ppl need the extra 750gp - blackmailed to vote for this inconsistent game

    The customer is always right , you on the other hand are wrong

    Deal with customers Request , not on what you think is better
    But having a mind of your mental age 9? this will never happend will it Saidinkid you just dont give a F*** , just hope soon you realise your just plain thick

  • Same problem, anytime and any server. I'm from Belgium, but that doesn't seem to be the problem either. My ping of 20 is not the problem. In-game gameplay is normal.
