critical start SP

I downloaded crossfire 2.0.1 from this site and installed it, before that I checked the launch of the original game (it works), I launch the launcher and press start SP, I am offered an update, I agree, and the launcher starts downloading 5931 files (this is a very long time, since without VPN the launcher cannot connect to the server), after that, the launcher launches the game, but it does not start, I closed the launcher and opened it again, and tried again, again updating 1000 files, but even after that the game does not start. When I installed the mod, I chose in the settings that I do not need a fix for old graphics cards.I reinstalled and selected this fix, but it didn't change anything. Please help me,

  • If there are still 1000 files to be downloaded then something prevented the download from happening or the files from being written to the hdd/sdd.

    It would be normal if there are ~50 files to download on each launch but not 1000.

    Dunno if the VPN would be the issue.

    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

  • Because the mod gets frequent updates.

  • all these files exist on the server, otherwise no other player would be able to play the mod

  • I started the game with other shaders, and the graphics card started working, but I still don't understand why it starts to freeze when I look at a star or a hyper-transition portal, is it possible to disable the new hyper-transition gate effects?

  • No

  • unlikely, the mod prevents such changes


    I really wonder why you struggle with so many problems while other players can run everything without issues.

    Just alone the use of the internal graphic card instead of the dedictated one sounds like some strange issue. Usually there is a default bios option which should prevent that. Depending on the vendor it should be called "prefer dGPU over iGPU" or something like that.

    And unless your hardware is +10 years old everything should run just fine without stuttering.

  • "And unless your hardware is +10 years old everything should run just fine without stuttering."

    That's why I'm doing this, I have an ASUS x550cc laptop, and it's my most powerful PC in 26 years of my life. I have selected in the Nvidia settings to use a discrete graphics card, but for some reason the vanilla and vanilla legacy shaders do not use the gt 720m, and the problem with the effects from the sun and the hyper-transition gate will create a load on the GPU of almost 100%, plus the CPU is weak (2x1.8 Ghz), and very often even in old games bottleneck prevents the graphics card from showing its full potential

  • Have you tried to lower the effect details in the game options?

  • I set the settings to a minimum and disabled all additional options, but it didn't do anything. When my camera is pointed at the sun or partially looks at the light circle from it, my GPU loads at 100% and my fps drops from 60 to 30-40, and my cursor slows down and moves jerkily. By the way, vertical synchronization is disabled in the Nvidia panel and Rivatuner has a limit of 120, but the game still has a maximum of 60

  • I found the button to disable vertical synchronization- it's F9, I was playing with presets by switching them with the F10 and F11 buttons, and accidentally pressed F9 and noticed that my fps began to rise above 60
