playing on et pro 3.18 server BUGS
Moderators: Forum moderators, developers
Ran another test.
This time I went beyond just right clicking on the NAV tray icon and selecting "disable", I removed it and all Symantic products from the start-up list in MSCONFIG.
Then I went to the WinXP Services Manager and disabled every reference to Symantic/Norton products as well as Windows Firewall and Security Center.
Rebooted.
Joined one of my ET servers running ET Pro v3.1.8 and I still got the quadruple "fight" and the freeze.
I hope this helps in your quest to find the real problem with this version.

hey...
I also get that 20-30 sec freeze crap... never happened before 3.1.8, I was just on BIO server and a few people are complaining of having it as well...
while we are at it...
PunkBuster Client: r_nv_fogdist_mode = "GL_EYE_RADIAL_NV" : must INCLUDE "NV" (OK)
wtf is that? and why does it repeat itself 50000000000 times on round change? is there anyway to stop it??!?!
Spec:-
P4 3.6 || 1GB RAM || 500GB Serial ATA RAID 0 || GeForce 4 ti 4600 || SoundBlaster Live || 2MB ADSL ||
Drivers: Nvidia Official version 66.93
Software: winXP Home || SP2 || Norton NOT installed.
Tried: WinXP Firewall on/off (same sh*t) || Tried using dxdiag to set sound hardware acceleration to the various 4 settings || Tried deleting etpro folder and re-installing 3.1.8 || Tried banging the F*cking computer!
plz fix.. as it is frustrating to wait for 30 secs between rounds and be left behind at spawn
thx

I get the brief freeze at map start too. Enough to hear "fight" 2-4 times. Seems to leave a gap in the lagometer.
Only AV is clamwin, which doesn't do any kind of active scanning (its just a little app that updates its db, and can schedule file scans), I'll try turning it off next time.

I doubt the reason of the game freezing lies in anti-virus software, because I don't run any. At least no on-access ones which are running in the background all the time. Turning off my Kerio Personal Firewall didn't change anything either. Having to be logged in as admin can't be the reason in my case either because I use Win98.
I did not get any problems like this on 3.1.6 servers (Efterlyst, ET-Center Box) and I still don't, which seems to indicate that it has nothing to do with the new PB client which was released in the meantime.
Maybe it is of importance that my PC is behind a NAT router...? But this never caused me any problems with ET before.
*EDIT* The degree of the freezing seems to vary on different servers. Sometimes it's only once at the beginning of the warmup and at the beginning of the round, sometimes it's even twice in the warmup. The length varies as well, but not much. Would a demo be of any help for you ETPro guys?

Only happened once to me, when i had just downloaded/installed etpro.ugh we all experienced this .. so i dunno what..maybe or maybe not a bug at the start of each match my screen freezes and the anouncers voice repeats voice repeats voice repeats voice repeats voice repeats then everyhting is normal! well that all i got ... have your take on it
Connected to bio and when i got in, my whole pc freezed except my mouse , after a restart i reconnected and no freezes ever since.
I use Kaspersky Antivirus and i have no firewall, my pc is behind a NAT router too.

Looking forward to it. Btw I didn't post yet how much I like the changes in 3.1.8 because I somehow assumed it was pretty obvious that they're great, but of course it doesn't hurt to underline it. I love especially the new hitboxes and the location names. But the other, less visible things are very nice, too, like noactivatelean etc.
Great job by the ETPro team!
