Title: Game freezes for 3 minutes when launching, then works fine
Post by: Clockwork on July 10, 2007, 03:36:38 AM

Before I start, this doesnt cause me not to be able to play, but is slightly annoying. Anyway, whenever i start the game, when it is logging in, it freezes, the login sound plays over and over for about 3 minutes, and then enters the game. It did it for b17, it was fixed in b18 and is doing it again in b19... is there someth8ing i can do?>

As Jitspoe said, the login server is getting pounded, so maybe its just taking too long to log in.

That is a good point Cobo, however what explains the b17 problem?

Wasnt there a change from 17 to 18?
I think Jitspoe changed to UDP or something.

Perhaps that is it... I don't know, when he says it freezes and plays for three minutes (which would be 6 times longer than my longest login time) I just think it may be something else...

The UDP version (18+) doesn't freeze the game while contacting the login server.  It simply leaves the connecting message up until it gets a response.

Try completely disabling all your firewalls, and then try.

I dont have any firewalls at all, never have.

Try clicking on cancel, then delete everything from the password textbox and write your password again, then try to log in.

EDIT: Since its freezing, I assume there's a cvar that controls the autologin, so you should change it.
