7. Characters appearing as Unknown and disconnects
Some network cards may be equipped with a feature called Checksum Offload. This tends to only be available for network cards capable of gigabit connections. If you have a Gigabit-capable card or an nVidia Networking adapter, please try this:
# Go to your Control Panel and go into System.
# Click on your Hardware tab.
# Click the Device Manager button.
# Click the + sign next to Network Adapters and double-click your ethernet card.
# Go to the Advanced tab, then disable Checksum Offload. It may be called Hardware Checksumming or a Checksum of some type. You'll get disconnected from the internet for a while but it should reconnect. If not, reboot your machine. Try the game afterwards.
