    Symptoms :

    1) DURING download and installation l had temporaly disable avg antivirus. the setup was fine but at first PATCH UPDATES it failed 2 TIMES TO DOWNLOAD PATCH DURING 1092 AND 1093. IT CONTINUED WITH 1094.
    2) during first launch it failed at loading screen with "mfc application error - it needs to be closed" and crushes.The error log message at the applicaton registry was that of the picture
    3) At later launches it was happening 2-3 events.
    4) either crushes at loading screen with 2 "send error" messages- see picture
    5) or crushes when l try to log in to server again with 2 message errors
    6)or crushes when l try to enter a channel again with 2 message errors
    7)or it says when l try to connect with a server the "fail to connect to server" message or the message "mm delayed connection" - l am not excactly sure about the last proper spelling

    l have tried everything crossed my mind, including what l saw in many other threads...turning off antivirus, reinstalling the game (removing folders first), configuring registries, downloading tunes up utilities, replacing crossfire.exe and others, with the files mentioned in other threads...nothing.
    here in a series of pics:
    9P9Fw.jpg?1
    QUdET.jpg?1

    l have ALSO TRIED TO UNINSTALL COMPLETILY AVG
    l have completely uninstalled AVG, then l uninstalled cf.

    After that, l removed the z8 files from programm files x86 and from my documents.

    Continuing, l 've cleaned registries with tune up utilities and l downloaded a fresh 1091 setup of cf.
    l installed and performed restart of computer just in case.
    On the first launch l had the same issues as l have discribed above in this thread... Not a single improvement...
  • In my opinion, it is mostly a windows xp conflict with the new patch...

    Still some windows 7 vesions suffer from it but the majority is xp users....
  • geo_kast, temporarily turning off AVG wont help, as it's still protecting your computer, even while disabled. Completely turn it off while downloading the patcher, otherwise it'll be a corrupt file, and cause errors.
  • I use windows 7 and the game won't open :(

    Regarding your missing file issue; turn off any and all anti-virus software you have running, then do a complete reinstall of Crossfire. Your anti-virus isn't allowing Crossfire to download essential files.

    l will uninstall avg ,then l will download again cf and l will tell you, but in my opinion there are too many users of windows 7 with avg and they play cf at this moment...

    Thanks for your recommendation ;) l will do it...
  • What I notice is that HWGC loads to 100% faster than usual. When the game loads, I can log in and select channels, but once I join a game, it freezes and pops up a client error. It also crashes when I click outside the screen and click back to crossfire. Allowing crossfire into the exceptions list for anti-virus doesn't work.

    l have notice the fast HWGC loading too! As far as the joining games is conserned, l had never the chance...it crushes at the best case when l first get in any channel...
  • I have several of the problems you has wrote...I also use windows XP x64...I am beggining to think that people with 64 bits O.S are not importat for this community...So Im thinking of using an O.S x32 bits...And sacrify half of my ram in the procces...And thats what I have to do if I want to play this...GAME...Again...

    This is wrong to be forced just for one application... The technical team of cf know what changes have done to cf and they must figure out what conflicts with windows 64x... they must refund our items also...At least for the days we cannot log in... l spent zp and gp for exp up 50+, helmets, radios and many other stuff..

    l am not a developer but l have a good pc programing and computing background due to my studies. l understand the complexity of the multiple changes upon a program. Still we need some assurance (since it is their job and the are paid by us) that they are aware of the problem and they are deep looking at this..
  • Could you please post a screenshot of your Processes list in Task Manager? I want to see what you're running, because something might be interfering.

  • i have the same error. the game freezes everygame so i have to restart my pc. i get the error like25550-3 and cleint error and hack tool detected...

    I had that problem before, but it's fixed :)

    l dont have the "like25550-3 and cliENT error" neither the hack tool error.

    l still have all the others that l have submited
  • A friend of mine, who had windows xp x64 had suffered excactly by the same problems...He has the advantage of using his pc for 2-3 applications only.

    Therefore, he had no problem to perform a clean format and install windows xp x32. Now he can run crossfire without any problems..

    Now about me... l dont have the luxury to perform format just for one application only since l use my pc for many other things.

    Insteed of forcing people to format their pc, isnt preferable to have anyone from the technical support team to help us?
  • It is clear now that this kind of problems occur at certain interface platforms like windows XP 64x... Still the technical support (since the problem exists for over a week now) could at least find a pc unit, install a copy of windows xp 64 and witness the conflict with their own eyes.

    NOONE OF THE CF SUPPORT TEAM CARES TO SUBMIT IN OUR THREAD...
    THE LEAST THEY CAN DO IS TO TELL US THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE TRYING TO FIX IT...

    NOT EVEN THAT
  • IF ANYONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS PLEASE AT LEAST WRITE IN THE THREAD WHAT KIND OF WINDOWS USES:

    FOR EXAMPLE:

    home premium basic windows 7 x84

    THE ANTIVIRUS YOU USE:

    FOR EXAMPLE:

    AVG 12 free edition

    AND THE EXPLORER VERSION WHICH IS INSTALLED

    FOR EXAMPLE:

    internet explorer 6

    LETS GUIDE THE CF TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION SINSE I UNDERSTAND THAT ALSO SOME WINDOWS 7 EDITIONS SUFFER BY THESE PROBLEMS TOO...
  • 2wr3us4.png



    I get that error and nothing happens after that.
  • What version of windows 7 do you use?

    It is a different kind of problem regarding to us, but everyone deserves an answer!
  • I think you might just be impatient bro. Just wait for it to load. You know when there's a problem when after a full game, it loads and you have nothing, or there's only 1 or 2 players, 1 being you. Also, if you play a full game, that page comes up to load and then it automatically s**** to the game room or the lobby. Those 2 scenarios are when you know you have a loading problem, but for now, I think you might just need to wait a bit longer mate.
  • this happens after every patch -.-
    getting tired of this....
    tried everything like you guys told but still nothing
  • I get Failed to connect the server :( how do i change?

    At the loading screen problem the answer is to wait a couple of minutes.... but as far as the crushing errors that many of us suffer...

    We lack of patience cause its been 9 days now and no moderator has the decency to even write a few comfort words that they are familliar with the problem and they are trying to fix it...
  • file is changed w[2007] L2 crossfire .exe
    who has the same problem
  • l fear that noone would ever answer our questions...

    After all... Who give a sh@#$t about players with technical issues?
  • after 2 weeks & after the last patch...
    The problem is still the same i still can't play...

    MFC error

    So no one care about win xp players at z8 games ?
  • error after error after error on top of error after error

    I have problem: "Hacking GateWay Client" and nothing... patcher freezes somewhere...Before that version.ini has its moments of fury (but I have learned how to fix that).
    Interesting thing that I have noticed is: I can play crossfire europe, but no crossfire NA. My friend has a similar problem, but he can play crossfire NA while crossfire EU crashes. I have removed CFEU (thinking maybe they interfere with each other) and left only CFNA, but no use.
    I run on win xp.
    HHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP
    Oh, BTW, no antivirus, no firewall, and I use Opera and Mozzila, but don't see the connection between IE and game running.
