I would suggest you backtrack any device driver, or hardware changes since this started happening. Also, have you tried COD4x? All the above suggestions are valid options to exercise. Awards

I kept blaming the patch till I tried running the game before the patch. If you think about it at the time, I'm pretty sure Activation did this on purpose to get more people on a mic. At least that's what my conspiratorial mind thinking. Sloppy programming is no excuse. Edited August 1, 2024 by ALanHim spelled no as not Rea and BUDMAN 1 1

So in effect have 2 of the same profiles running Most hang ups happen loading new maps From the load server screen use Tilde `/quit and that should then exit both profiles from the game, not always. I keep my eye out on the player stats to make sure people aren't hung up and I kick if they are. Once kicked then you can return easily Wild Fire and WeednFeed 2 Awards
