Game freezes for 3 minutes when launching, then works fine
« on: July 10, 2007, 01:36:38 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.

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.

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.
