Essentially, this is what seems to happen after almost every game.
I will join trough a friend, play out the game, game will end and the loading screen will pop up. Typically it will load you back into the lobby and reshuffle teams… Which it does for all my friends.
For me, The loading screen pops up and my game freezes. Checking in the task manager, it says the application is not responding. If I wait long enough it will unfreeze but will kick me out of the lobby to the home screen after about 2 minutes of waiting.
Then I have to rejoin, someone takes my spot, I miss half a game, etc.
Sometimes it doesn’t happen, and I need to look into why but a good 80% of the time it does. And if it happens once, it will happen over and over until I restart my game and hope it’s fixed for a few games (Before coming back again, it always does.)
I have windows 8.1, Intel HD 4600, Latest Intel Drivers (Released a week-ish ago), i7 CPU and 8 GB Ram. I get 70-90 FPS, steady.
I am running this widely used config: http://pastebin.com/77iNqe5P But since so many others run it and ahve no issues, I can’t see that being the issue. Playing on a custom resolution of 1024x576 (16:9).
