Post this patch.

The raised server IP addresses issue has still not been addressed.

Expect Lag / Disconnect /Crashes to continue until this is fixed.

There is a solution to this in NF technical forums

RECONNECT LMAO

Vawlkus ...

Your post might now look a bit strange...
Because someone hid my post due to it containing a response from someone to a
support request which for some reason I'm not allowed to post.

This has been pointed out to me in the ELU Section on posting clause3.

So.....

I have been advised by "someone" that the ISP has been
approached by "someone else".

o.O

If you're working to IMPROVE the game for your players, why is it that people's ability to play is becoming WORSE
over time?

When I started playing this game years ago, I never had lag, never crashed, and navyFAIL didn't do random weird
things. So why is it that now, with hardware that is many times improved, I have 30 second lagspikes, dozens of
crashes per hour playing, and multiple restarts are necessary to even connect to the gaming server?

I'm not seeing this "working to improve" bullshit MK2. All I see is a broken game being made unplayable through
incompetence.

@Lionel2
Yes the disconnects/Lag are issues that are effected by the ip address issue.

Think of it like this.

When we connect to the game servers over the internet we use using a routed path.
This path can take many twists/turns ( in tech terms hops) due to connectivity, latency and bad
paths where the connection has to retrace to find a good path or fail.

So lets take the example where a connection path gets busy (congested) or even fails, so the
connection gets changed to another path. (IPS's use BGP to make the paths across the
internet)
But that new path is bad and the route cannot find a good path = connection fails = disconnect.
Or
The Path is bad...another slower path is found = lag

The Hosting company CDNetworks is using IP addresses for the SDEnternet NFNA game
servers that actually are routered by BGP with APNIC to Korea by a what is called a Autonomus
System Number which is owned by a company called Panther communications.
The IP addresses are non-portable and only to be used in South Korea on the network refered
to by Panther Communications.
Until this is fixed the Lag/Disconnections will continue.

I can run NF on Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate for 30-50 minutes then the game will stop
loading ships and I have to restart NF to fix this. Probably a small memory leak for me
anyway.

Can you describe how your crashing (Disconnection is when you get a NF message saying
you've lost connection to the server)?

@ MFischer so you think the sore spot you hit SDE in that locked topic is also causing the
disconnects? I hope they stop their stubborn ways and just fix it.

Sometimes I wonder how is even posible to start the game.

The servers are hosted in the USA by CD Networks who are using a incorrect IP
address for the servers. ( they are using Korean APNIC Addresses)
This is currently under investigation by the relevamt NIC centres.
I would expect that when CD Networks are finally told by the NIC centers to remove
the poisoned routes and put the correct ip addresses on the servers the issue will
go away.

This issue is logged via a support ticket with soubleGM (march 2011) and as yet I
have had no followup response from any of the GM's or anyone else at SDEnternet.

I run Win 7 64bit ultimate and have no issues with NF. I haven't had to resort to
changing my themes or anything of that nature either. However, as of the last
patch, I have been getting "connection to the server lost" quite often even though
I'm still on vent talking to people
