If you are working on Windows Live

This is a issue when you try to join a server. Either you will get a long waiting time or your game will lag. There fix for the same when you are on Windows Live. For this first you will have to open TCP-Port number 3074. For opening the port right-click the connection on which you want to open your port. Then you go in advanced settings and you can open ports by adding them. Then set your pc to DMZ. This is very important. After that you will need to go on Windows Live and open NAT. Now that is all you done and you can now try back to reconnect your game. You will not find much trouble over hear.

If you are working on XBL

Now there are different settings for XBL. Sometime the above similar error provides you trouble on XBL also. Same way you just need to open some number of ports so that the game can communicate with the online server. For that there are some number ports, they are 53,80, 88, 3070 and 9103. From this only 88 is an UDP port and other can be udp/tcp. Go under your firewall settings and do not forget to add them under the exception list.

This happens when you had not properly forwarded the ports which I had mentioned above.

This is the default login id and password. Then once your in you will need go in NAT settings. In that go to virtual servers and add those number of above mentioned ports. This is the things you will need to do. It is entirely on your choice what server you want to give. Give any random name.

For the start to avoid such connectivity failure disable your firewall. I had already stated above that due to firewall issues there are major connectivity errors. Firewall simply does not allow any incoming and outgoing data packets. You will also need to do the same with your security application also. Sometime by fixing TCPIP Stack also solves a number of issues related to connectivity and login. For this you will need to run cmd under administrators account. Just run cmd and then type netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt. Hit enter and reboot your system. Then try back joining.

This patch is released by the game developer and it is mostly an auto update.

Sound issue on Operation Flashpoint: Red River

Some time you may find a issue of sound lagging error. Either there is no sound or sometime the sound breaks when you play. The reason behind this are the drivers of your sound. You will need to re-install them. Windows install a regular generic drivers for the sound card which is mostly plug and play. So just get an fresh updates for that and run the setup. You can get your motherboard model with CPUID and then check for the latest driver of the same. Sometime you will face a no sound issue in the game and you can fix that by setting the sound option from control panel. Go on control panel and look for sound. In that set the sound mode to Stereo.

How to improve SLI output on Operation Flashpoint: Red River

Some of the usres might be using a dual or triple gpu support on their system. That can be through Crossfire or SLi. I had found some steps to fix the issue of SLi ouput on the game. Sometime even after having a better group of gpu does not provide you good and high quality output which reduces your games performance. There are some tips that you can try to fix the same.

• First try to remove old nvidia drivers. You can do that by going in start > control panel. From the Add remove / uninstall a program choose the Nvidia control center and remove it. Remove all the related updates also.
• Then restart your system in safe mode. You can do that by pressing F8 at the start. Once you are in safe mode you will need tools like Driver Sweeper and Registry Cleaner. This tools will clean all the pending entries of old drivers from your system. Run them both and fix all your issue. You can also use CCleaner here which is also a better tool.
• Try this a number of time till all files are not wiped out. Then boot in normal mode. You might find a change in your display as you had loose your old drivers. From bios you must set your display option on vga/hdmi, so that when your card has any issue the system choose the vga output as other source of displaying screen.
• Once you get the driver of Nvidia graphic cards you will need to do certain type of modding here. When you double click on the setup, the setup extracts the drivers file in the Temp folder and after that runs the setup. Cancel the setup and go in the Temp folder. From that you have to delete some files. They are NV3DVision, NV3DVisionUSB.Driver and HDAudio folders. Do not delete any other files just this three.
• After deleting those files look for the setup.exe file for the dirvers and doubeclick on the same. Run the setup. Run a clean setup and reboot your system.
• Once done you have to go under the first configuration of your Cpanel and Sli. Do that and again reboot so that settings are properly saved. After that launch the game. There will be a better change in this now.

Settings to get high quality display on SLi

Here are some settings that will help you get high quality output over the game. This is only for SLi support gpus. The best tool that I will recommend you to use here for this is Nvidia Inspector. You will have modify some settings here. For SLI compatibility bits set value to 0x02C0005. Set SLI_PREDEFINED_MODE_FORCE_AFR2 for NVIDIA predefined SLI mode. Set 0×00000016 value for Ambient Occlusion compatibility. Enable the Ambient Occlusion usage and set high quality option for Ambient Occlusion setting and Textures Filtering. Once done just give a reboot and then check back again. There are some more settings which you need to do in Nvidia Control Panle. Set 16x for Anisotropic Filtering.
