[USA servers are crashing and un playable]

I blame the spanish for this heinous war crime. Retribution will be swift and merciless. 

 

Don't be absurd, its the American's fault.

[Entering Battle Instance Problem]

I did a bit of messing around with settings and managed to work it out so I can actually enter battle without a problem.  In fact, I was able to increase my graphics settings to medium and tweak a couple things down like shadows and still pull a better frame rate.  I am running this on a laptop with an AMD 8790M, if you have an Radeon you can try and see if it helps also.

 

1. Open AMD Catalyst Control Center
2. Click Gaming then 3D Application Settings
3. If you see an application that is something like Steam:29000 delete it.
4. Now click Add and locate Client.exe (mine was in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Naval Action) and click open.
5. Now click Client.exe in the application list. And change your settings to be the following:

• Anti-Aliasing Mode: Use application settings
• Anti-Aliasing Samples: Use application  settings
• Filter: Edge-detect
• Anti-Aliasing Method: Adaptive multisampling
• Morphological Filtering: On (Direct3D application only)
• Anisotopic Filtering Mode: Use application settings
• Anisotopic Filtering Level: Use application settings
• Texture Filtering Quality: Standard
• Surface Format Optimization: On
• Wait for Vertical Refresh: Off, unless application specifies
• OpenGL Triple Buffering: On
• Tessellation Mode: AMD optimized
• Maximum Tesselation Level: AMD optimized

That's it, click save.  Worked for me and hope it may help someone else who has this problem.

Awesome, as UptightKrakken said, is there a workaround?

 

Guess you and I can sail around in open waters and wish for a fight.

This is a known issue, thanks for the reports, Captains

 

Thanks for the follow-up Duelist.  Is there a workaround to this issue that you are aware of?  It'd be nice to be able to play but I can wait for resolution if needed.

Wow, I just loaded Naval Action this morning and am experiencing the exact same problem.  I'm on PvP Two USA, character Juan Itzagena.

I feel ya Grim, those prices are off the hook.  Blender is the freeware modeling software from I could tell.

 

Wind: Thanks for all those great tutorials.  I'll be looking at them for sure.

[The Black Ship .... HMS HERMIONE 1782]

I cannot help you with the ship but I can admire what you've done so far.  I really wish I could find a solid tutorial on modeling a ship in say Cinema 4D so I could try my hand at this.  I've no idea where to start but am repeatedly impressed with the skill of you guys that can.  Good work!

Is there an English version of that link Wind, my Russian is a bit rusty (read non-existent)

[Server Status - "connection error"]

Dunno about patch but got kicked from battle, tried to join PvP and now stuck at loading screen.  Too bad, was getting blasted from both sides and dishing major damage before the boot.
