  • 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.

That's my thinking.

And since I only started to receive any connection problems since the last patch I
begin to think that NF's sensitivity for such issues was greatly increased...

I've been thinking Obst, although TCP Optimiser does seem to allevate some of the crashes
and network problems you've mentioned, all it does is to optimise your network connection
and prevent your data packets from fragmenting when being sent.

If that's the case, then it's only curing the symptoms of possible memory leaks because of
the network code in NF where it has to process fragmented packets?

It lists the connections, not necessary the modem you use.

Most likely your modem is connected via one of your LAN adapters, you need to
modify this.

shitty program. there wasn't my adsl modem in list. only bluetooth, LAN, Wi-Fi and virtual
adapters. no use of it. and the black screen is annoying. each time i need to reboot my
computer.

solve anything.

I noticed that although the screen fades white and stays white, one can still interact
with the interface you are supposed to see. Although I never saw the interface after the
login screen (I'm trying to play the game since 2 days now), I was able to locate the
"exit" button in the lower left corner and even to check the pop-up question if i'm shure
to quit. That spares me to tab switch and kill navyfields due the task manager - at least.
I tried to solve this problem by installing new nvidia drivers and the TCP Optimizer Tool
- nothing helped though.

Hi, im very new to this game and am having all these problems. I freeze at white
screen, i cant move in the training missions and i often loose my connection to the
server every 5 minutes. I have done all you have suggested, downloaded that
optimizer program and changed my compatibility. I think this problem is deeper than
you guys think. Please help

Obst, my game play still lagged.....even after i install the TCP optimizer...i had tried
to reinstall & update manual,but result still the same.... I think team NF need to look
into one the reported problems seriously. I'm not the only one reported having
problem after updated Version 1.096...
