  • White/blackscreen bug, Timeouts...

Hi.

I had multiple issues with NF in the last days, however I came across a tool that
fixed it for me.

The problems included:

-the login-process timing out
-often getting "connection lost"errors , during games, in the harbor and at the login
screen
-blackscreen-freeze while loading
-whitescreen-freeze when the view shifts to the port at the start
-being unable to control the ship ingame

Those were all fixed for me with this program but I would like to get it tested by
more people.

If you are willing to try something on your own risk then please follow this and
report back:

Go to

http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

Please download the tool called "TCP Optimizer".

To use it, first select the network adapter you use and then your connection speed
by using the top slider.

Then go to FILE and create a backup of your current settings.

Then select "OPTIMAL SETTINGS" in the lower right of the "GENERAL SETTINGS" tab.

Click "APPLY CHANGES" and restart your PC.

Now check NF if the problems were solved and PLEASE REPORT BACK HERE!

Also please check if you have NetLimiter installed. If you have it installed please
uninstall it! It is causing problems with NF!
Thank you very much for your attention.

ANY POST NOT RELATED TO THIS PROGRAM WILL BE DELETED!!!

I want to keep this clean.

I've tried everything but i keep getting the white screen after log in, and the few
times i do log in, i cant do anything, i click on newship and thats it, it basically only
lets me exit.

I think i may uninstall this game already, pity, it looked decent.

I have 1mbit broadband, and i tried the TCPOptimizer.

It doesnt work after i used it. I still get connection error, can't log in, or it freezes
when i am making the ship... :(

I have NetLimiter installed, but it's not open/used.

having the same problems when I get into port, got in on the "New" Iowa server
but crashed as soon as it tried to load the ship I just bought. I also get that update
when I first log in but it doesn't seem to finisih before I get to the log in screen. Will
still try to log in but I don't think I have a problem on my end, my father's machine is
quite ideal for playing NF, at least it was yesterday.

Ok, downloaded the thing, and it solved my whitescreen freeze just as I enter the port....

(but still crashed after third game, due to severe lag...worse ever)

Have been trying to log in for two hours (even re-installed the game, changed settings Wi
ndows 2000 and others)

I'm using Avast as a viruskiller, when playing, I pauze it's functions from 7 to 1
services...don't want to be totally unprotected...sorry...

Any news on inflicting with Avast?

Another thing that occured today during updating to the server...

(can't seem to upload a pic, so I'll describe it...)

below black screen a green bar with the words "processing update"

above the green bar => 11887420
v
^
below green bar => 12848207

^those two rows of figures constantly change^

Besides the green bar....spr/componentsTuret.spr or /shipstructure.N120 or .S120..

I've never seen that before....is that normal??
