 How to solve black screen in Crossfire after joining games?

The default video setting when we start crossfire for the first time is 1920x1080 pixels. This is why we cannot see the screen and what we see is black screen instead of normal game screen.

So, what we should do is to configure the video settings of our crossfire game. See the illustration below.

These are the settings when we run crossfire for the first time.





Steps to change Screen Resolution in Crossfire.

1. Go to this icon which says option.

2. Change the settings to 1024x768 pixels in the Resolution drop down list.

See illustration below.



3. Click Save and wait for few seconds depending on your computer speed.

4. Try joining again.

Why I do need to change the crossfire video default settings?

Some old computer don't have the capabilities to run on 1920x1080 pixels or its monitor does not have the higher resolution capabilities. The 1920x1080 pixels settings is for wide screen monitor. So, if you have a square monitor which we find in an old desktop computer set. These settings won't work on your old desktop computer.

What if I have faster and latest computer setup, Do I need to set it up?

no need to set these settings, you will run the game smoothly from your latest computer. But be sure your monitor can load or has the capabilities to run 1920x1080 pixels screen resolution.
