I have a wireless router set up for the laptop but my box is directly connected to it with an ethernet cable.

In the last few days my verifcation wait time has varied. I also sometimes have very long waits after clicking the join game button. I suspect that latter is due to insufficient RAM.

I also got the network data corruption error again yesterday - very long wait for verification and then it kicks me back to the multiplayer browser. This seems to happen once a day.

Yes, but forwarding a 50,000 port range of TCP and UDP ports yesterday you wouldn't think this would be an issue.

Well I guess my install theory is out the window too.

Going to revive this thread as it was the first thing that came up on google when I searched "Network Data Corruption Error". Again I will reiterate these old points: 20-30 second load times followed by 5 minute "verifying client data" sections that either fail with a "Network Data Corruption Error" or barely get me on the server. Even when I do succeed in getting onto the server however I still suffer from intense lag around allied and enemy players. I have gone into singleplayer and pumped up settings to ridiculous levels and still have not gotten a bit of lag, meanwhile even the lowest settings in multiplayer give me these horrible issues on the TG servers and elsewhere. I will also reiterate the other point, TG takes at least twice as long as the other servers to client verify. Anyway onto the computer specs.

1GB Kingston -something- RAM
ATI Radeon 9800 XT 256MB
3.2 GHZ Hyperthreading Intel Pentium Processor
70GB Harddrive
DSL Connection

I really cant attribute these things to anything on my end. When I was playing the demo a month ago I never experienced this lag chaos that has enveloped my system. On any server however, my ping remains stable while the in-game movements do not. I can only attribute this to something I am missing since the release of the retail version, as I loaded up the demo and it worked fine again.

Edit: I just finished scanning the rest of the google results, this problem so far only seems to exist at TacticalGamer. I am very perplexed.

Since the patch I have not experienced the Network Data Corruption Error as frequently, but it does still happen on occasion. I have only played on TG for weeks now, so I cannot compare the client verification time to other servers. One thing that has improved the wait, however, is disabling Norton auto-protect. I know that all games recommend turning it off but it never seemed to make any difference so I just left it on, but it does seem to have shortened the client verification wait to a more manageable 2 minutes or so.

Hi,

I joined this site to post in this thread, as today for the first time I got the Network Data Corruption Error and the long wait times (previously had been no errors and very fast loading and fast wait times - sub 1 minute). This is happening randomly on many servers.

So, what changed?
1. I forgot to turn off Norton AV Auto-Protect.
2. I removed one stick of RAM, so now I only have 512MB and not 1024MB.

I have an Athlon 3200 XP and 6800GT clocked to an Ultra and it runs great. The reason I removed the RAM was because it had developed errors and was causing BSOD's (of the IRQ_STOP type) and CTD's. These have now gone along with the faulty memory, but the above two issues have appeared. Therefore I will be buying 2Gig's of RAM and must not forget to disable NAV!

Cheers

PS I did a Complete install of the game. This should almost certainly be the better option, as almost all the data will be on your hard disk.

PPS One reason I MAY be getting faster loads times with the 1Gig is because I did installed an ISO DVD image of the game using Daemon Tools (you'll need AntiBlaxx also). There is a 1.8Gig Cab file that I think the game has to load and if you use an image drive, then it's loading from disk, not slow-ass DVD (and from my RAID array that's a big difference). The other (small) advantage is that you don't have to have the DVD in the drive to run the game.

has anybody had the problem of not getting promoted any more, because ever since network data is corrupt message showed its self i have not progressed a bit.

Whoa, almost a 2 year bump! Is that a record? This was even back when I had my other name and didn't use caps! If this is for vanilla (which TG no longer supports) I would check that the rank you are trying to reach doesn't have another condition (like all basic badges). Try getting another point on a diffrent server as that sometimes gets you the next rank.
