file is changed

This error normally occurs if your anti-virus-software blocks some game content while downloading or installing...

Common solution is:
- Uninstall the game completely
- DISABLE your antivirus' realtime protection
- Redownload the game
- Install the game
- Add the entire crossfire folder to your antivirus exceptions
- Re-enable realtime protection

good luck

Hi, this is a very common error after downloading an update or a patch. I don't know what's causing it but the solution is very simple and it doesn't require re installing the game. just follow the steps and hopefully you'll get it fixed!

1. Turn off your Antivirus (if enabled)
2. Open your Crossfire directory (eg. C:\Program Files\Crossfire)
3. Find "version.ini" and open it
4. Make sure "LatestVersion" is set to 1113, "MinimalVersion" is set to 1110 and "OwnVersion" is set to 5

5. Save the changes
6. Right Click on Version.ini / Properties and make it Read-Only [IMPORTANT STEP]
7. Run "patcher_cf"

Good Luck!

Does your version file have the same contents?
Also, try creating your own version.ini using the code above

1. Open Notepad
2. Copy-Paste
3. Save As "version.ini"

EDIT: There are two version files, "version.ini" and "version" Check the second file as well.

[VERSION]
LatestVersion = 1136
MinimalVersion= 1120
OwnVersion = 6

If non of the methods above works, you might need a new .exe file. I can easily upload both "crossfire.exe" and "patcher_cf.exe" to DropBox but I'm currently unsure whether it's against the rules or not.
