What nationality are you? Maybe someone who speaks your language can help.

Do you mean when you start a race the screen / display goes red?

I think when the lights go out the others go and he has some kind of lag and the game lets him go a second later or something. But I don't know if it's this, I can't understand him neither.

 

[Paul Lock]

I notice he has posts in some mod threads, maybe its a mod issue?

Try removing any mods / modifications.

Exactly..I had some mod's.Now,i trying uninstall game..Thanks.

 

[Paul Lock]

Take out your mods and tell us what happens.

 

[Alex155]

Edit. Same problem, i reinstalled, no mods..and low performance.I idk what happening.If anybody know, please need helps.
//LE. I had Windows xp SP3 Intel Pentium 2.66G 268 GHz .2GB RAM.It's enough for online?

 

[Paul Lock]

Problem only with multiplayer online game?
Is your career mode / TT ok?

 

[Alex155]

Yes.Only Online..

 

[Paul Lock]

Ah, well then its either -

1. Database mod which does not allow online
2. Firewalled

Most probably firewalled. How is your internet / network setup?

 

[Alex155]

You can be more exactly.You want know my Pc performance or?

 

[Paul Lock]

Try these steps......

1. Turn off Windows Firewall
2. If you run a 3rd party firewall, make sure you add rules to allow F1 2011.exe access (incoming & outgoing) to the right ports.
3. Turn off uPNP on your router (if on) and then manually setup the same ports on your router to be forward to your PC, either by name or IP address (depends on router and whether you have static or dynamic IP set on your PC)

These are the ports - you need to tell your firewall software to allow access to F1 2011.exe, and tell your router to allow access to your PC

TCP port 80.
UDP and TCP port 3074.
UDP port 88
UDP and TCP port 53
TCP port 443

Once you 'think' you have done it right, download this little bit of software and check the ports are truely open -

That site above also gives good information on how to forward ports for most popular routers if you are unsure how it all works.

One other alternative for a quick connectivity test is to bypass your router if possible, use a LAN cable, turn off all your firewalls and security and try it that way - just to be sure thats its your network setup thats the problem, and not you ISP.

Shout if you need more help mate.

 

[Alex155]

I dont understend why turn firewall Off, is say not recomanded.Don't try yet, but thanks you for your help

 

[Alex155]

Sorry for Duble post

BUt you think it works with CPU: Intel Pentium 820D 2,66 GHz and 2GB Ram , and video card nVidia GeForce GTS 450.
Can confirm or not?

 

[Paul Lock]

You said 'only online'. PC spec would effect offline game too.
Although I do not understand the red screen you mention, if the game is crashing on the grid for online only, and your game is not modded, then it must be network, unless I am way off.

If it is not your network settings / firewall then I can't help anymore.

Hopefully someone from Romania with good English can come and help us out!

 

[Alex155]

" if the game is crashing on the grid for online only" exactly ...

 

[Paul Lock]

Then it is not your PC spec.

Go to this link - http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm
Download and install the app.

Test these ports -
TCP port 80
UDP port 3074
TCP port 3074
UDP port 88
UDP port 53
TCP port 53
TCP port 443

If they are 'Not Open' then you need to follow my instructions in my earlier post above.
