Almost every time I start ET and go to join a game it goes to the loading screen. Loads 100% and then just sits there. My processor is maxed out at 100% and other people in the game say that it shows me connected, but the program will not load past that screen. I end up having to close out completely of ET and restart it, but then i can’t get back into that server because they still show me connected as a spectator even though i am not. Anyone else run into a problem like this?
...A technical problem with ET
No problems for me, but can you post some system specs. like OS/CPU/RAm/VGA etc.
P4 2.8

gforce 4 mx440 8x agp
Win 2k pro service pack 3
I occasionally have that happen, Ill just sit and wait a few minutes and it will load the map, eventually. When you spawn, and see a few teammates levitating at the spawn … thats what you look like to people in the game when youre waiting for the map to load.
Im not sure what the cause is … but I suspect punk buster because PB seems to be the cause of all things borky and frustrating. : )
Acutally I have notice something like this when I join and it loads fully and then hangs or disconnects…
I notice several times that I am joining and it say map 2of3, but the symbol for the second map is already assigned to axis or allied win.
Meaning I am trying to join a sever in the post-round wrap-up… My map loading is prob so long that the post-round end and everyone else starts loading the next round while I am still loading the last…
At least thats what I assume is happening…
not sure if this is the same thing you describe… (HTH)
