When I start the game, it hangs at the screen that simply says "Setting up game..." in white letters on a black background.
It hangs so bad, even Task Manager cannot kill the program. I literally have to restart the computer.
This is getting frustrating as hell. My ability to actually get into the game now stands at about 8 0-NO/20-YES. Why I have been able to get in sometimes is a mystery to me.
Is ANYONE Else having this problem?
I've been wondering if it's a COD5 master server problem, a PunkBuster problem, or if it's a local problem on my computer. It all started when I changed ISPs from my local telco DSL to Charter cable Internet. But everything else on the Internet is fine, so I'm hard-pressed to point the finger at Charter. If anything, I think it's just plain coincidence that it started happening right when I made the ISP switch, and I have been able to play since making the switch, but again, it's 8 0-NO/20-YES at best.
