OK I have found the problem. And I didnt even re-install cf or freelancer yet to do so. Just now I have turned off all computers in my house, reseted my router, reseted my pc and turned off all background tasks that might interfere with connections or gameplay and tried connecting to cf again.

Before I did this I connected to cf with a 590 ping and 18 flucts. After I did the above I still got the same results. And since other world wide servers in many different games show 350 less ping for me than CF does atm, I have concluded that when OP patched the server 3 days ago, he must've done something to the server that the connection to world wide parties are bad. Thats just a random guess but I do know the problem is not on my side, it sits at the server side so perhaps I found a new bug of the matter for you OP?

Hope I was of somekind of help here, as clearly before the patch was applied, I had no problems with my connection with a stable average ping of 250, 0 loss and 0 flucts after 3 hours of gameplay. A way better performance than the current 590 ping, 3 loss and 21 flucts after 5 minutes of gameplay.

If that is the case then I must be really unlucky xD Unlikely to happen but possible I guess.

Guess I shall re-install my entire CF and hope for the best. 3 days ago the luancher downloaded quite a few patch files of 75 mb in size so I am guessing somewhere in that download a file probably got corrupted.

Right then, back to fixing my cf.....

Has a new version been uploaded that I must download of CF? Because I get into CF and then when i try to connect it just doesn't want to get further than saying there is a connection problem.

I downloaded cf on the 10th of Jan so its far from the one that was released on the 5th as OP did upload another one on the 6th if I'm not mistaken.

So is there a new version out or is this just my cf that's going bonkers on my connection?

A few bugs i found

In Nephele at the sleeper ship, if you collect the disk inside the server crashes, it happened twice with me. Also its not so much a problem but some systems like nephele and custodian give graphical glitches before exiting a jump or trade lane.

Interesting. OP I dunno if it will do it with you but for some reason, if I put the advance shaders on active (bump mapping + motion blur) then the game UI bugs out when you start out in SP. Also I noticed in SP that trent doesnt stop saying huh for some reason. that was during closed SP, going to do OP SP now.

Other than that, here is my feedback of the game so far (the good stuff).

The massive resolution of 2560 by 1600 is AMAZING, though certain thing is out of place, the mod effect, textures etc. is still perfect. New graphical improvements are well done and the new manuever adjustments suit me just great. I also like the fact that you included variety in this mod with the colors of the lanes and I also love the new NY back ground.

Stay tuned for more feedback

I seem to be having trouble connecting to the server. I really dont know what to do anymore, all that I get is the message that its having trouble connecting.....

OK So is the mod now fully availible to download and working properly?

In all honesty, I am well capable of 2560 by 1600 res after tomorrow, so if I can, why not? xD

Sweet, then I cannot wait to see crossfire on a resolution of 2560 by 1600 WOOOOOOOT, I am so damn excited I could just........

Cool, ill feedback once I get ingame and played for a week hehe

Excellent. Well OP I must say I am well prepared for your massive mod

Tomorrow my order for my new pc parts will have arrived. It will be interesting to see how crossfire will run on a core 2 quad with 4 gig ram and eyefinity enabled The worse that will happen is crossfire wont run that res probably cause I know you never made crossfire to run on a resolution more than 1980 by 1080 (if I am correct).

But we shall see, if all goes well I shall give you pics ones I am in game and kicking

Thanks again OP for your hard work and again I hope my posting will support the factor of a possible 100+ players going online by tomorrow or even this weekend. wooooooooooooooooooot.

OP, I hope you have a stable server ready for 100+ people xD

Well, I guess thats what happens if someone advertises a great mod thats about to be released Gamespot, gametrailers, my blogs on 5 different sites and steam comunity now has 1 post stating the current real soon to be release of CF 1.8 and that it might as well be freelancer 2 for what it is

I am glad my short 45 minutes was not put to waste hehe.

Sweet - I cant wait BTW OP, I have posted several posts about crossfire in some blogs, a few sites such as gamespot (at the forum general discussion) as well as letting all my email friends know to spread the word. I hope this will get more x-freelancer players to return to the greatness that still is Freelancer which imo is now Crossfire

I shall do my best to show my support on the 1st of january 8pm forum time

Bond, out of all the posts in the past week, yours second to OP's grant posts, is the most Optomistic. I salute you, its posts like yours that will keep this community alive, that is IF the community is willing to read your post of advice and apply it to themselves the moment they log into the forum.

2 thumbs up from my side mate.

Now to the rest of the community, lets end all the crap and nonsense, whatever it may be, and start fresh To hell with going on like this and try and change things. It's similar to real life.

Example:
Zimbabwe, a country just up from south africa, broke down 10 years ago. The community did it to themselves by selling the farms to homeless people so they can live shit and die there. What the homeless people COULDVE done however, is to think abit, work hard and continue to grow crops. Yet they didnt and now the country is STILL suffering to this day. It will take at least another 20 - 30 years before they are as good as they ones were.

Guess what, this community did exactly a similar situation (sorry OP for being blunt). However this is a forum community and its MUCH easier to fix than a real life country wide situation. You can all make this community as good as it was 5 years ago if you just stop acting childish, stop flaming, stop ranting, stop bullshitting and start being positive, optimistic, respectfull, thankfull and giving apart of your small work in which will in turn become a big thing if everyone gave their 1%.

That is what OP wanted from this community from day one. And it was done, but it wasnt enough. It was just WAY too little. Im guessing close to nothing at all.

So, be positive, optimistic, respectfull, thank full and give your part like OP asked, and MAYBE the community will change for the better and still live on. Besides, you still have 15 days left of December to still prove yourselve's

I believe I owe you an apology then OP, didn't realize that part of the story, besides....this must be the 50+ dump post you've seen. Even worse its from one of the community members.

Please accept my deepest Apology for posting like that, you are right it did serve no purpose other than causing crap.

This doesn't mean that I will stay though, because I cant. All I can give you is good luck and something extra. Expect to see some well deserved credits by Monday

Exiler out.

Call it stupid if you wish but all I've seen since the very first announcement of cf1.8 back in 2007 was nothing but criticism, attacks on swat, how OP is demoralized on not going on, how the community isn't doing its part.....you know i can REALLY go on if you want me to. And the best part is, all the threads containing these facts are there (unless OP deleted them all).

Everytime its the same story - OP feels bad blames people and we feel sorry and show our support. But this is not the first time he has blamed the community for not bringing its part like in this thread. Exactly WHAT is it you want us to do for you OP? I ASK YOU HERE AND NOW. TELL US!!!!

Stop bitching and moaning. Its bloody annoying now! If you want help then ask. Oh wait you already did in many other threads you made in the past. You got posts where help was given by some loyal members and what happened? was the help appreciated or ignored?

Seriously OP. Just bloody well delete CF1.8 if that's your wish.No one cares anymore because you dragged it out for too long. You are the most childish adult I have ever seen on any forum....more to that your the bloody creator! I just want to know why you go on like this every month or two....is it personal reason that drive you to bringing your frustration out on us? or is it just some additional attention you want to make you feel better?

You know in the past we all....no THE ENTIRE community kept on praising you on how you are a mod god and that your work surpasses all and you go and be humble by saying "every mod is good in its own way and deserve equal respect" just to throw it all away by yet again, blaming the community.

Look at them, every single person in this community is willing to go with you all the way, everyone respects you, but you! You have the nerve to pull this crap off everytime.

So here is this part. I will no longer support CF1.8. In fact I will no longer even show support to the swat community.That includes me being apart of PX, I don't wish them to be blamed because of me. I do not wish to waste my time by reading the depressing posts of a mod god who cant release his mod for his own personal reasons and doesn't want to accept credit where credit is due.

Truly I give the best regards to the future of the swat community.

AH FOEYE!!! just close or delete this thread. I am sick and tired of this shit.

You know there is probably 2 threads like this every 4rth month or so and its always the same thing. OP feels bad about something that's gone wrong and cf gets delayed yet longer and we cheer you up etc. Also sometimes blaming the community that they could've helped, some offered yet never got a response (like me).

The problem with CF is you wanted to give it a massive goal and achievement. But you let the community know about every little change you do (ok not all but almost everything). By the time I play cf 1.8 I will prolly get bored in 1 day because I know what to expect. But then again I know I will never see cf 1.8 because the damn games release date is (when its done). There is one game out there (ONLY ONE OTHER GAME) with the same words underneath its name for release. Is it out yet? OF course not, they are STILL developing it.

With all that said I am TRULY sick of all the shit from this community mostly coming from threads like this. I hope you improve your quality standard soon OP because you just dropped to the last notch in my book.

Oh and one more thing, it would be a damn shame to see cf 1.8 never release as well as the swat community to fall. I can say this though, cf might never release, but the swat community is just to big to simply die. expand more in other games than freelancer and I'm sure it will last longer. Swat community just cant die, I don't think that will ever happen unless OP pulls the plug which he wont. Theres just no logic to the reason to do that.

I couldnt find the place to post this or to find a post like this soooo, I would just like to say that I love the new look of swat forums. Currently I am using windows 7 (released version) and the forums make me feel like I am more into 7 than before. Everything you did to it looks great. Thank you for the redecoration OP!, or whoever it was
