Finally solved my " INF [NM] DataReceived: bad! " error messages.

[Accursed]

Kept getting this error which would unlink me and world chunks would stop loading in from my dedicated server on my network. I was using GameFirst VI, game boosting software that came with my Asus MB, this was desyncing my downloads and causing 'exc invalid distance too far back' and 'NCSimple_Deserializer' errors to appear and me falling off the map. I now stop it when I play on my MP setup and have completely error free gametime on 7d2d DS now. Concentrate on stopping any network programs you may have running in the background.

Hope this helps.

Doesn't surprise me. I've never come across any decent performance tuning apps that came with motherboard manufactures drivers.....with exception of the MSI Afterburner maybe. Even then, that's an app you only need in certain scenarios. Usually, an additional app running in the background is not going to 'help' performance because it's also using additional resources...thus hurting performance. And, Network Interface Cards are already designed to give you the best internet performance with factory default settings---except when they try to make them 'Low power consumption' designs. Sometimes you have to go in and turn that crap off. All them low power features CAN be a nice thing to have if you need to conserve on power such as with a laptop. But, I doubt any of us building a home PC give a crap about saving a buck in electricity for the month.
