Thanks for the help :3

cool ass background btw

download the game again if that doesn't work then run the game as admin. Iv'e had this problem and i did the following and it works perfectly now.

:c i tried that but it didnt work :c i redownloaded the game again.. reinstalled it i ran it as admin and it still wont work Q_Q

1. Please make sure that nothing is blocking the program exe. or a firewall blocking it.

2. Restart the computer just in case. (Solves more questions for almost everything lol)

3. Be sure to install the Microsoft. Microsoft Net Framework 2.0 + download if you already have this, then make sure that it is up to date. This should solve most problems with the exe.

4. Go to the game folder and try launching the "patcher_cf.exe" file manually to skip the launcher program.

5. If you are using Windows Vista, please do not forget that the following files "crossfire.exe" and "patcher_cf.exe" are all run as an administrator. (Click the right button on the file and go to "Properties" and then click "Compatibility" tab)

6. Change the "crossfire.exe" and "patcher_cf.exe" compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2 and disable scaling on high DPI settings.
You should also disable visual themes and desktop composition that does not work. (These options are located in the "Compatibility" tab in the properties files.

7. Do Dowload again and reinstall CrossFire, the CrossFire Staff is updating the Installer, from time to time for the beta version so that it can correct the problem. It is also possible that your initial download was corrupted at which point you may want to try a download manager to get the file and try again.
