This Patch does fix an issue with different OS version where codepages were ignored in the previous version.
It will update the Crossfire launcher to version 1.55 and implement a selfupdate process. The Crossfire 1.7a Patch is an optional update for players which have problems with the automatic update of the Crossfire 1.7 mod.
It's amazing
Can you download the patcher cf shortcut or Crossfire?
