Recieving while playing

[tranquillity]

after reinstalling windows with essential windows updates and all drivers it didn't work....
after installing the vista service packs 1 and 2, it works now, and it looks great
if you have vista without service packs, give it a try..
(I hope I didn't miss that in further posts)
finally it is working!!
really happy

I've had this drive for almost 2 years. It's super clean because I've never used it so its practically new.

How do I check if I have the Vista server packs? I'm running Vista 64 Ultimate, and I don't think I have ever manually installed the service packs, however, it may have been an auto installation that I am unaware of.

I really can't navigate around Microsofts website, its counter intuitive and gives me a huge headache. Can some one post the direct links to download service packs 1 and 2?

go to the system and maintenance screen, then "find out installed windows installation" then "show more details" on the upper part of the screen.
my installation is german, so I dont know the english names for it
but just have a closer look on system and maintenance, you will find it there.
good luck

I'm installing SP1 right now. For my Harddrive.

I will let everyone know if after I've installed SP2 and updated the rest of my Windows Vista I can get the Multiplayer to stop freazing.

GREAT NEWS


I've been playing online for 2 hours now. I just needed to install SERVICE PACK 1



I was getting the exact same error as you guys were.


Now, I have never gotten the receiving screen. I'm able to play with out interuptions. I tried 5 different servers.


The fix for me, appears to be installing VISTA SERVICE PACK 1


I'm running Vista 64bit Ultimate

for me it seems that the 185 nvidea driver helped me!

i had the 185 installed -no problems
then installed the 178 and 182 to try the performence - receiving... !
reinstalled 185 - perfect again

There is no clean picture here:
For some 178 or 185 or 186 beta was helping, for others not.
For some a new naked OS cured the issue for some not.

Maybe I should kill a black cat at full moon?

I will for sure not go into a OS reinstall, to much work for a 50/50 chance.

I expect from BIS a insight under which circumstances the "Receiving ..." screen is triggered to be able to do a rather analytic troubleshooting instead of executing every voodoo mentioned in the threads.

@peacekeep3r

thank you for your post- receiving bug for me is gone now.
i changed from 178.13 to 185.85- less performance but now i can play online.

kill a black cat...mhh? thats it!

Against my own statement not doing any voodoo anymore I upgraded video driver another time - to NV190.15 - and it works a little bit better now. Still get from time to time the "receive..." screen, of course always in the middle of an attack, but now I can rcover by toggling to map and back. And it is more seldom. Instead of getting trapped after max 2 minutes I made my 1st MP crCTI 0.4 .... to victory.
