CPU in use: Intel Core2 Quad Q8400 @2.66GHz

RAM installed: 4GB

When you crash: While playing, sometimes in the waiting room.

Type of crash (freeze, crash out of program, have to restart machine, etc): Freeze then
crash (connection to the server has been lost), most of my crashes are in game, the game
will just suddenly stop and will see a message on the desktop that the program has stopped
working, sometimes when I go to the desktop it will crash.

Wired Internet: Yes

Do you use alt+tab in order to go to your desktop? No, uses the windows shortcut button on
the keyboard.

OS in use: Windows XP

CPU in use: Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93 GHz

RAM installed: 3 GBs

When you crash: Almost never

Type of crash (freeze, crash out of program, have to restart machine, etc): When
loading up the game in the loading screen. Usually terminating the game's .exe
process and restarting works.

Wired Internet: No, cable.

Do you use alt+tab in order to go to your desktop? If yes, when? Yes, very frequently
in shipyard, waiting rooms, battle etc.

OS in use: Windows 7 Professional (64bit)

CPU in use: Intel Core 2 Duo T9550 2.67GHz

RAM installed: I have had 4GB and 8GB installed (the same or similar crash issues for
both), 4GB currently

When you crash: (1) Right after pressing "Play Game!" the game will attempt to load
and then crash out, (2) when entering a game room all ships will not load, (3) during
game play with no symptoms of lag, (4) Right as the game ends as you go to the
rewards screen, the rewards screen doesn't load and the game crashes

Type of crash (freeze, crash out of program, have to restart machine, etc): 1, 3, and
4 all cause the game to crash back to the desktop with a NavyFIELD not responding
error. 2 leaves the game frozen indefinitely and the game will either eventually crash
or you ctrl+alt+del to end the game and relogin

Wired Internet: Yes

Do you use alt+tab in order to go to your desktop? If yes, when? Yes, I try to only
alt+tab when looking at the battle screen or in the harbor. I would alt+tab while in a
battle room waiting for the game to split, but that causes the crashes to happen for
more often, I believe.

Type of crash (freeze, crash out of program, have to restart machine, etc):
First one is a freeze, room loads partially, client then freezes. Normal restart of the
game is enough.
Second one is also a freeze, client displays the waiting room but has frozen without any
notice. Usually goes unnoticed until I try to move or type.

Wired Internet: Yes

Do you use alt+tab in order to go to your desktop? If yes, when?
I alt tab whenever I'm waiting for a battle to start and I have no conversations going on,
checking back regularly to see if something's happened. No issues with the alt-tabbing.

have exactly the same problems with that, no additional issues.

I BUILT a Win XP machine just to play NF as the three Win7 machines I have in the house
will not play it. Since MN, my Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz laptop is unplayable as well, none of
the other machines in the house (another 6 Athlon 64 x2 3.2MHz, Pentiums, etc. and down)
play NF smoothly.
Minimum graphics card used to play NF succesfully 8800GT

I have crashed only 2-3 times this month. Usually in battle.
I have occasional screen freezes of 2-10 seconds, but not very often.

Yes I use alt+tab quite regurarly, in harbor, the battle channel, and waiting rooms.

I do have to kill the program the first two times I start the game, due to program not
responding. I think that may be because my Fix-Cleaner program removes the Eagle
NT file.

OS in use: Windows 7 (64-bit), Vista (64-bit), WinXP (VM)
CPU in use: Intel Core2 Du E8400 @stock (old pc) now i5 2500@ stock

RAM installed: 8Gb both machines, xp vm get 2 GB

When you crash: Every odd day the game launcher wont load properly or game goes black on
starting up, under vista/w7 a lot of game lobby freezes, like every 10th game lobby. When
using VM i get also the game launcher wont work crash but only like 1 ingame crash per day
or so

Type of crash (freeze, crash out of program, have to restart machine, etc): Loading
failure. Have to ctrl+alt+del, shut down the game and restart. never need a maschine
restart. killing the process if still there and restarting the game fixes most problems

Wired Internet: no
Do you use alt+tab in order to go to your desktop? No in VM, Yes in native Win7/Vista.
Mostly between battels (harbor), but sometimes also withing battle. Never seen a
correlation between chrashes and olace of my alt tabbing. cant rule out alt tabbing itself
though.

OS in use: Windows XP Pro, Version 2002, Service Pack 3

CPU: Intel Core i7 CPU type 860 @ 2.8 GHz

RAM: 4 gigs running at 1333 MHz bus speed

Crashes: can happen at anytime. Frequently the first time I run NF I get the black screen
of dead (I let it sit for 10 minutes), requiring a Task manager kill of the game.

Wired Internet: yes

I seldom alt-tab because the game is not stable enough to be sure it will come back up. I
also leave the game running even if I go AFK for hours on end, since I can be certain I'll
need to restart my computer in order to run NF a second time (it will almost NEVER run
again once closed).

FYI: I have no lags or connection issues with any other game I play, including ones older
than NF, so compatability is not an issue. Some of my other games are graphic intensive,
and do not present any issues or lag while running.

I use a special copy of Windows when I run NF: there are only two programs installed in
that instance of windows: NF and Ventrillo. There are NO other programs running: no virus
scanners, firewalls, or anything. It runs on a dedicated HD, which is physically separated
from all my other HDs, and all my other HDs are disconnected while the NF drive is
running, due to ongoing concerns I have over Hackshield.
