slow starting on LAN, rtcw domains cannot be resolved

Post by n-j »

When you try to start WolfMP.exe without internet access, you must wait very long, until the gamescreen comes, because some domains cannot be resolved.

On a LAN party, I can use DHCP und deploy DNS IP and then route all rtcw specified domain requests to internal IP adresses. When I edit my host file, it is the same, but the problem is, it's not working!

I tried to set all possible domains to 127.0.0.1 (in the host file) but it's not better.

I think, the wolfmotd.idsoftware.com musst be resolved, but why??

Do you have an idea, what I have to do, to axelerate starting of RTCW (wolfmp.exe)?

Try to deactivate your network card and then start wolfmp.exe, you will see the problem..

Thanks for any help!

Type in /cl_autoupdate 0 (Or something like that) because wolf checks for updates and other things at start up.
Got any old idtech3 tutorials you made or saved? Send them my way.
