  • 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.

Hm I had the problems return too after a day... strange.

However, I redownloaded NF and then set the compatibility mode to WinNT 4, now I
can login again and play...

I'll look into it.

Hi Obst
the TCP optimizer thing seems to have solved the problem, with heavy lag that I have
experienced after the last patch

THANKS

The problems are back :(
It worked yesterday but today the no-control issue is back again. It helps a little to
terminate all non critical processes in task manager, but thats a little anying to do
every time...and it increases the "safe" time with only 10-15 minutes.

Try setting the nf.exe compability mode to Windows NT 4.

Done it, nothing changed, still freezes on blackscreen

ive have another problem. When i run NF it stucks in Processing Update and after a
while it exits to Windows. I downloaded TCP Optimizer, and also set compatibility to
NT but nothing :(((((((. Things get worse from 1.094 above

Hmm...
I can run the game just fine without TCP Optimizer.

Was hoping it might solve my "Connection lost to server problems" but apparently it
doesn't. I still get period lost of connection about every 30mins or so.

I've set the MTU to be less than max MTU so packet doesn't fragment.

Brand new player attempting to get in, read through the forums, forwarded the
ports, downloaded tcp optimizer and ran. Still logins timing out on both servers.
Any other suggestions?

Try setting the nf.exe compability mode to Windows NT 4.

Right-Click -> Properties -> Compability
