Red screen

Is Nod32 blocking it in any way? Is fof on the exceptions list in your firewall?
Is your router blocking it in any way?

Socket errors

All of the socket errors (who can be distinguished by their build - error: (number, message))signify that Frets on Fire is unable to connect to its server part on your computer. They always mean you should disable your firewall or let Frets on Fire pass through it. Typical socket errors include:

* error: (10049, "Can't assign requested address")
* error: (10013, 'WSAEACCES')
* error: ((10061, 'WSAECONNREFUSED')
* error: (10022, 'Invalid argument')
* error: (6, 'ENXIO')

You can check to see if you have a firewall active in Start > Control Panel > Security Center. Even after you have turned off your firewall, there may still be one secretly active. To make sure it's off, try looking in your Networks Connections, right-click Local Area Connection (or something similar), choose Properties, and then check out the Advanced tab.

If you want to go a step further, stop and/or disable your Windows Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service. Get there by going Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services. Of course, this process may differ if you are running an OS that isn't Windows XP.

Software caused connection abort.

An established connection was aborted by the software in your host computer, possibly due to a data transmission time-out or protocol error.

Edit: Hmm, this thing claims to fix socket errors, you could try it...

where??

I have test this game on another computer of my network, and fof run correctly ... but in mine ... no, so is not a problem of my firewall, but i have a windows modified version: Windows Trust, it's possible to be this ??

I got the same problem here 0o
When I run the last update, i get cx_freeze, and when i run RF Mod, the same red screen appears.

[lucianorivera]

it could be yout windows version......
i bet if you'd be able to install another OS,like win xp service pack 2,it'll work...
FoF has problems with customized OS.the only one that works good with is win ue7.
can you post a pic of the red screen?

[Bin Yu]

sure

the game runs normal until i select play game/tutorial

then this red screen appears, and i can just quit by pressing esc.
My resolution is 1024x768, i resized the imgs.

That looks black to me :p

[guitoun]

That looks black to me

Have you apply a theme ?


ok , i'm going to change my os .. :/

[guitoun]

so i have test FOF RF mod, the same of my computer, on othr computer with the same os, and in this computer fof load, and not in mine ... what the f**k ??

[lucianorivera]

well my only recommendation is to install another os if possible,but before try uninstalling first the graphics drivers and using the on board graphics card (if you're using a graphics card that's not onboard.then if it doesn't work,install latest drivers for the card and try again,and if that doesn't work.....install other os
good luck

my problem is :

(E) Socket error while receiving: (10053, 'Software caused connection abort')
(E) Socket error while sending: (10053, 'Software caused connection abort')
(E) Socket error while receiving: (10053, 'Software caused connection abort')
(E) Socket error while sending: (10053, 'Software caused connection abort')

it's not my os, i test on other computer, but what is the port of fof ?? if i know the port i can found what software was in conflict, no??

[w1ngnut]

The red screen is being caused by your firewall not allowing FOF to connect to port 80. Not really sure why that is. I was having the same problem until I allowed the game to connect to that given port. Now it works! Hope this helps.
