I was talking on discord how I was having some errors downloading files with Crossfire Launcher. I am on Windows 11.
The log was the following:

I was talking to user LMRK about it and they had no idea about how to fix this.
User OPR8R came into the room and suggested the following:
- as a rule of thumb... when others dont have the same error then the problem is a local one
- the files mentioned are all on the server
- just checked it
- so something on your PC must be blocking downloads
- could be some AV tool, could be a firewall, could be a permission setting
- hard to tell without knowing your system
I tried reinstalling and disabling all protections. No improvement.
I asked in another channel about it and user War Hog09 said they were also on W11 and also had errors.
The errors between our systems matched.
Something is clearly going wrong with Crossfire users and Windows 11.
I thought I would bring this up here formally in hopes of getting a fix.
EDIT: Forgot War Hog09's log:
