Dear Community,

After some years playing Navyfield, my concerns about the game itself is increasing.
Our players and the community coud be easy decreased by 40% due the client
problems on newer operation systems.

Some people may say they don't have problems, and others do however we shoud
not look to the people who havent issues but to the people who do have those
issues.
After the release of windows vista something is not running well anymore, freez
problems when entering a battle room and some other issues.
Sure we have all workarounds but for the most people here there knowledge to get
around those issues is limited. and even when whe post allot FAQ this is not the
proper way of handling those issues. The client itself are some problems with and
hopefully we can expect a new engine as soon as possible.

However it's strange they are implenting new futures into the game instead of fixing
the real issues. Hackshield and new nations has been added but the server
population is droping again!. I just want to tell all of you guys and also TNF the
sooner this game runes much smoother the sooner this game will get his old days
back. Thats why i wan't to ask the community and TNF to drop the new futures and
starting to optimize the code. I know this is much asked however it's needed now.

lI hope you all agree that the game compatibility is much more importment then
inpleting new futures where we need to pay for. and getting nothing back for it
instead of other things we need to pay for.

I wan't to convince all people to work on this togheter just to support this thread
and let TNF see how much we wan't this.








Best Regards,
Hoplita, A verry verry old player who likes to bless new life in NavyField.

I dont even play anymore because the game crashes so much...

Again for someone who has played this game for some time now.I must say it is a
sad day in the life of a NF player.

I'm disapointed what our players get, also i must say, thanks to all mods that still
leading this game. However NF is walking to his own dead

But as you may know the game has been like this since beta and although as you state the
game may have moved on a bit its never really got out of Beta stage and just expanded on it.

SDE either do or dont have a clue about game programming or found that fixing the game is
far too time consuming than just making new content. I would like to take the view that this
game makes money for SDE I wouldn't like to think that they would intentionally rip off the
playerbase to make some fast cash.

However looking at the game now for the last 2 years it has been going down the pan. Its
bugged and the players that have stuck around have gone as far as they can most Vets
have 120 crews on all lines and there isn't really much more direction the game could take.

Other than making new ships which at this point they aren't going to be much different to
any of the other nations now. making the game free to play only makes it so the SDE can
argue at the fact they aren't forcing people to put money into the game because its fact
that you dont have to.

Personally I dont know if SDE are or are not making any sort of new NF game I personally
dont think they are and even from scratch I dont think they have the technical knowledge to
do it from scratch without running into the same problems they have now.

If they really wanted to they could make a use for the seaman other than what he is used
for at the moment which is not that much really to have one.

I pay money into the game "my choice" and I will just play till the game dies which as stated
I dont think there is that much life left even with the server merge the game is still not like it
was when I first joined in 2005 when the game was rife with players.

Time has moved on and although I would love an updated version of this game new games
have come along since and interest is not what it was.

Heroes, i disagree on some parts, even if they aren ot so big as MIcrosoft our any other
companies they have a few games up and running where people can buy prem
subcription for. Even with a minimal income SDE can fix those issues Navyfield was only
there to make a profit for them in the last few years the game is more expanded then
fixed.

The lag on recources they have, but there motivation is zero

As already said before this was never a HUGE game based on the big companies like EA,
Microsoft etc they dont have the manpower or the financial support they big companies do
and from the looks of it they dont have the mastered skills a lot of programmers have for
other games companies.

What they did do was make a great game thats always been buggy but playable or it
wouldn't have gone on for this long and tried to stop some hackers which some is better than
none.

I would be surprised to still see this game around by the end of next year so I hope SDE has
got something planned thats "new" like NF to take over once the numbers make the game
unplayable anymore and they close it down.

From that nights patch notes

"2. File integrity check mode has been added on the login screen. This is to help
checking if there is broken files on the player's game client. If there is broken files,
the client will end and go back to the Enfuns Updater screen to redownload the
broken files."

It says broken files, not missing files.

Granted, that could be an ever so famous SDE Korean Translation Error

"the New spr check system was installed to prevent that specific
problem."

It's there to make sure your Russia sprites are there, and working. They do work, just
the wrong files. It was not implemented to check the integrity of your entire game. If it
did that, it would take longer than just a few seconds to scan and read the files.

They are there, lurking.

When I was having my problems, I sent in RPT files to TeamNF, got a response that a dev
discovered some of the files in my .spr client were corrupted and needed to be redownloaded.

A week after that email, the New spr check system was installed to prevent that specific
problem. It didn't help my crashing, which was related to custom sprite files I had
installed, but at least I get the feeling that I contributed to adding some type of error
checker to the game. I can only assume I was not the only one with corrupted SPR files
that NF could not detect before.
