  • It is constantly crashing i cant do ANYTHING what so ever. If you want a new faster host i know someone who would do it for a very cheap price.


    I love CF but it keeps exploding.... (on the server)

  • The host is already the best available and reason for the crashes are players which can not follow simple instructions.

  • Ok now im getting angry. Doing a mission i "had" 5 ace fighter pilot cargo pods. Server crashed. lost it all.


    Me and about 7 other people i know are getting pretty angry. We keep losing everything we work for

  • Get angry all you want, its not OP's fault that people dont listen when he says not to download and install something because its missing a few hundred megs of files, and to wait for him to upload a fixed copy, and announce that its actually ready for downloading. He's doing everything he can to fix the problems provided they are fixable at this point because of a select few peoples negligence.

  • wasnt getting angry at OP we were getting angry at the fact of losing missions items etc. We arnt gonna go Lynch OP he has done a amazing job on Crossfire. Just cant wait for the server to be stable etc.

  • Keep in mind, that this is THE largest FL mod, and it takes a few weeks to kick the tires & discover the little quirks that cause instabilities. As eager as you are to get on with character building, do not lose sight of the fact that the mod & server get adjusted to the myriad of player machine setups, as well as the players adapting to the needs of the mod. Soon enough, we will all be enjoying much more stability & shooting each other again!! :D

  • At midnight GMT past night... the server hasn't crashed in an hour or so... so, sometimes the server crashes several times in half an hour, and sometimes it stops crashing.


    Also, if OP could do something that, when/before the server crashes, it makes a CTD. In that way all players will be needed to close and restart the game... cus some noticed players arriving in the first second the server is back, that don't seem to know about restarting game when the server crashes.

  • OP already stated that restarting the game is not needed because the changing economy is not activated yet.

  • What if the server didn't crash? What if OP made a few changes to the files to make it more stable and you bypass the auto-update and don't get those files? Guess what happens? Crash, crash crash. I have already had 3 auto-patches that I noticed. Yes, it's prolly a very good idea to shut it all down and restart even if the economy is still static.

  • Yeah ,, that's the major problem. Most of these new ppl here don't restart the game from its launcher. When I am keep giving refresh of the CF page so I know when to enter, .. I see 10+ ppl in the server. Can you imagine?^^

  • Oh right .. I forgot xD ...


    but what else could be causing these crashes? -_-

  • maybe people with corrupted install trying to log in.

  • I think the most important issue ATM is that all players need to be sure they have done a COMPLETE re-install of FL, FLMM & CF1.8, with no other mod data in the mods folder, just to be sure they have a clean install. Almost certainly, some players are having the same issue I was, which seems fixed now. I am now only subject to the same server crashes as everyone else, as I write this (keeping fingers crossed). 8)
