Exciting Announcement: A New Browser-Based Crossfire Client Is Live!

Huge thanks and recognition to Sebastian Andersson for his work on this deployment!!

We’re thrilled to share a brand-new way to experience Crossfire—a fully browser-based game client is now available for testing! No installs, no hassle—just jump in and start playing directly from your web browser.

Try it now:
https://crossfire.diegeekdie.com/


What’s New and Notable
  • Enhanced Controls for Browser Play
    The Alt key is now used for the run command (instead of Ctrl), avoiding conflicts with common browser shortcuts.
  • Simplified Account System
    This test deployment does not use traditional user accounts. Instead, each character is created with its own unique name and password.
  • Classic Character Creation Experience
    Character creation follows the Hall of Selection method:
    • First, choose your race and assign stats
    • Then, explore the map to select your character class

Open Source & Community Driven

The web client is open source and available on GitHub:

This is an early test deployment, and we’re excited for the community to explore, experiment, and provide feedback. Jump in and help shape the future of browser-based Crossfire!
