Crossfire 2.0 - Release


In 2014 we had to deal with lots of critics regarding the overdue Mod release. Infact the development of the Mod took much longer than expected in first place. There were many reasons for the delay, such as technical problems (as we were really working at the limits of whats possible with the game engine), the sheer size of the Mod, community feedback and wishes which convinced us to add even more content than originally intended. The amount of time and work we have invested to build the new version has been massive.

I wish I could say that all the work is done, already.
A few weeks ago we have silently released a public Beta version of the Crossfire 2.0 Mod and since that we have been pretty quiet about it here at ModDb.
We knew that the singleplayer part of the Mod was working flawlessly, but our server software (which has been completely rewritten for CF 2.0) required a step by step testing and debugging period. We decided to go through that procedure with the core Crossfire Online Community. It was the best possible test environment for us to locate and fix the most urgent problems aswell as getting qualified feedback from long term Crossfire players. Every day the Mod and server software are getting better and more reliable.

Since we clearly didn't want enter the Mod Awards 2014 with empty hands you are free to download the latest Beta version of Crossfire 2.0 at www.swat-portal.com
You will very soon notice how much work went into this massive Mod which truly can be called the "Freelancer sequel".
But please keep in mind that this is just a Beta version of the Mod and that we are still working on the Multiplayer part of it. Many server features are currently not even active, but we will change that bit by bit in the next few weeks.







Download, Support and Feedback

As long we are still Beta testing the Mod we will not provide a Download for Crossfire 2.0 here at ModDb. You will only be able to download it from www.swat-portal.com since we are from time to time updating this download. When all tests are done we will of course release a final version of the Mod here aswell. Until then the only valid download link will be at the SWAT Portal website.

If you need help or if you want to report a problem then use our Bug Tracker. We will take care of the issue as soon as possible.
We will not give any support here at Moddb (we don't have the time to do that on multiple websites -> so use the official Bug Tracker)

You can leave your feedback on the official Crossfire Forums or post your suggestions here

There are certain reasons when this happens, maybe a corrupt installation or something is missing or was altered by you which should not be altered. Please report that problem in our bug tracker. There you can get help of the community to resolve your problem.

This was a clean install, I followed your instructions to the letter and haven't "altered" anything. If the help from the community is going to be "maybe you altered something?" then it's not exactly much help.

I'll maybe post a bug report tomorrow, but it's going to be the same thing as here.

Trolling attempt? :) ... how many times we need write that support will be done ONLY on swat-portal? We heard exactly this more times 'i did all to the letter' 'I did not changed anything' ... and guess what, almost every time it was something on user PC what caused problem. Please do report in a way which we politely asked for and we will try our best to help.

I downloaded the ecrossfire 2 mod several times now, because every time I start extractin it says file corrupted.
Checksum error in Crossfire2setup-1a.bin. The file is corrupt
Crossfire20setup.zip: The archive is corrupt
I tried different mirrors but it's always the same?
What could it be? I really want to use this mod.

That usually indicates that you internet connection suffers packet losses. Your provider should check that.

You also can try to download the file via a download manager. There are multiple good ones that are for free.

what are you actually talking about?
Thousands of players got it running without any errors... maybe you are just doing something wrong.

Oh and thank you for downvoting for even trying to ask for help.
