Hello GameMasters. A Little Help!

zNeet · July 2012

Hello,

I just need some help with this. I have a new laptop and this is the Spec for it.

3rd Generation Intel Core i7-3610QM (6MB Cache, up to 3.3GHz w/ Turbo Boost 2.0)
8GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz
17.3-inch WideHD+ 1600 x 900 60Hz WLED
2GB GDDR5 Nvidia GeForce GTX 660M
500GB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s
Killer Wireless-N 1103 a/g/n 3x3 MIMO for Gaming and Video and Bluetooth 4.0.

So what my problem is "Everytime" I logged in its either I get stuck on "Joining Server/Channel/Room please wait... and I can't play.

So I tried it on my old laptop few minutes ago and see if the crossfire will run smooth there and won't give me this Please wait... things. IT WORKED PERFECTLY fine so I'm thinking it might be my new laptop or something.
Now I have search forum for an answer and I see that some of the people here are pretty much having the same problem like I do.

Can you GameMaster help me out? or anybody who encountered this kind of problem and got it fixed. I would GREATLY appreciate it. I've been wanting to play for 2 days now with my new laptop and I cannot

Thank You.

playing with laptop isn;t convinient but probably you have been used of it anyway you might haven't done a right format or you should redownload cf again i guess.(i am not a pc expert just giving my opinion)after the new patch i had little bit this problem waiting in server/chanel long but after i close it then reopen it and works fine for me .

- Try adding crossfire to your anti-virus' exception list.
- Make sure you're not running any IP changers.
- Try port forwarding (http://forum.z8games.com/showthread.php?t=79815)

If that doesn't work,
Do a full reinstall. Uninstall then delete the Z8Games folder, restart your laptop and then proceed to download.

You see I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game 10 times. (NOT EVEN A JOKE)
and Im still having the same thing. I'm getting ****ed off already

Also I don't have a anti-virus so its not that either

I asked my friend who has an alienware as well just like mine who he bought recently too
He said he cannot play as well.

I will see if that port forwarding will do something to me.

EDIT: Port Forwarding didnt do anything either

not just reinstalling, redownloading.
completely delete everything you have of CF and download it again.
Also make sure you run it as an administrator.

If you have the same thing i have, then that wont make a difference at all.

Can you ping 74.200.6.166?

Open CMD and type > ping 74.200.6.166

Could also ne a faulty network adapter.

Is it only CF you have connection issues to?

zNeet · July 2012

Try pinging your default gateway.. see if your router is having issues with your laptop.
Find it out by typing > ipconfig and then do the ping command to the IP next to Default Gateway.

If it works then try

tracert 74.200.6.166

You need to determine where its going wrong
