  • 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.

Hm, I was crashing again today.

However, I reinstalled the 1095 client and put the 1096 patch on it (all manual) and
now it works again :/

whell i did test and showed me mtu at 1500 so thats it, conn speed i did try tree values :
one that my max speed i can have (512k), the i tryed the value tested on numion.com (192k)
and last time i did try out some smaller ammount (112k) none of these things
helped..whenever i try to lunch it always hangs on black screen after the blue logo or on
the annoucement screen..
today i've installed the newly downloaded installer '96 - nothing :(

Thx! It seemed to work, today I큩e had ~10 no-control problems, after I installed the
program none in 1 hour. Incredible!! I큞l post back if the problem returns.

PS. For me it helped also to kill msmsg.exe and spoolsv.exe, they both use the network
connection and caused problems for me

Try the MTU section to find out your max MTU.

Did you set your connection speed correctly?

You can increase your memory page file in windows up to twice your physical
installed memory. It really help to supress this errors. At least a bit. :)
