Dear Tech Support ...

My Laptop Freezes Randomly While Playing CF sometimes for little seconds and sometime need to reboot .
the GPU temp is Moderate and Lap cooling is Fine , I have tried to change the GFX Setting to low but same problem
i play other games or any media just fine without any problem ... Could you help ?

Temporary Solution
Mouse/Keyboard Freezing Problem
This problem seems to be problematic for players with multi-core processors. This solution should solve any problems with your Keyboard/Mouse becoming "stuck" whilst ingame.
Start up your game, log in and go to whatever server & room you want to.
Then, on your keyboard, press Alt+Ctrl+Delete keys, opening up your Windows Task Manager.
Look for Crossfire.exe. It should be towards the top of the list. If you dont see it, just left click the Image Name tab to sort the processes alphabeticaly.
Right click on Crossfire.exe. From the drop box, left click on Set Affinity
This will open up the Processer Afinity box. You should see CPU 0 & CPU 1 with check marks in both boxes. Or more boxes if you have more then a dual core.
You need to have just one of these boxes check marked.
For some reason unchecking CPU 0 & leaving CPU 1 checked doesnt fix it.
Unchecking CPU 1 & leaving only CPU 0 checked works the best.
Id reccomend having only CPU 0 checked, leave every other box unchecked. Bottom line, make sure only 1 box is checked then left click OK.
Close out of Task Manager & you should go automaticaly back to your game. If not just left click the crossfire tab on your task bar. Play game & enjoy.
This should fix freezing problems. Setting the process priority to "Low" should also with this and some other problems with the game. I personally have found setting it to this helpful.

When I boot up my pc and start up CF for the first time I usually have to start twice. It gets stuck at login screen, or it would freeze when I open my friendlist, or I go to my storage and it freezes, or settings what ever, Doesnt matter what you click it will probably freeze the first time.
And thats not even talking about being ingame lmao. -
Your pc is not good enough for crossfire. This game is top of the line and it requires the best pc characteristics to run smoothly. Throw your rig and get yourself a 2gb ram scrap from the junkyard and you will run cf with no problems.
Less toasters (old pcs) will do the game more good than bad. So just ignore that post ^ -
My computer is pretty good if you were to ask but I still get random freezing when I'm playing. It just doesn't make any sense. I play CF China and their game quality is so nice and smooth. I just don't understand how the creators work with each other.. that's if they do.
