years of playing nf

server, it says waiting to update server, 3 times, and cannot connect, installed the
patch 1.315 and say problem, connecting to update, never connected, i pressed play
game after 3 times of trying to connect to update, and it start the hackshield, but
the games doesnt starts

Right now all servers are down.. Check back in about 20 mins and try to log in then.

Have you tried disabling your firewall, or opening ports in your router?
