Game stops on loading map

Postby olddust » Thu Oct 01, 2009 9:53 am

The first time I loaded the mod I was able to successfully connect to one of the official servers. Since then when it gets to the map loading stage it just stays on that screen. I left it there for almost 10 minutes and it didnt load the map or error out or anything. Any insights?

Is it doing this on all servers or just one or two? Out of interest do you remember which server was the first one you joined?

I joined 78.129.164.83:7777 the first time. After I got my server setup I tried to join it and it just sat on the loading screen. Tried to reconnect to the first server and it did the same thing. A couple other people were able to connect to my server, but I see a lot of what appear to be dropped connections on the console. It shows a player attempting to connect, but the connection never completes.

I am installing the game now on my laptop, which is a better computer. So hopefully I get different results.

It may either be a problem on the server's side, or the server may be full. (The old frontend doesn't show player counts, get the patch, and when all of the servers patch, it will show the correct numbers.

I have the patch applied and it still shows most servers as 0/XX only one that it shows as having 24 players all the time is AlienX #1
Connecting through the IP of that one gets me to loading then Ut3 crashes, connecting through the frontend utility doesn't work at all, just goes to the menu and a massive FPS drop.

Strange thing is, the BlackIntel server works perfectly fine (and it was the first server I joined too)

I am using Vista 64 Bit, SP1.
GTX 285, with the latest drivers (190 something)
8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram
Q9650 @ 3,01 GHz

Make sure your .NET framework is updated to the latest stable version.

Windows 7 64bit and Windows XP SP3 are the two OS's that are giving the most problems atm. Hang in there!

I've been troubleshooting a bit with Wilo. He's able to join my server, his own, etc. I am not able to join my server, his server or any other server I have tried (except for the very first time I loaded the mod). It just sits on the loading map screen. Is there a setting that determines how long a server will wait for a player to join a map before it "closes the connection?"

It also does the same thing on my laptop. In addition, I don't get any menu options on my laptop for whatever reason. It looks like my graphic card is dead, but the rest of the screen loads fine. I don't have this graphic/display problem with the original UT3 or any other game.

The server is updated, but I haven't updated my client yet. I don't think this has to do with that, based on the information from the console it seems to be closing the connection on players before they finish loading the map. I'm guessin that just causes the game to hang.
