upon joining a game, after the sound team deathmatch the client will totally freeze, works fine yesterday, broken after 1032 update today. please fix.

 

sometimes it will recover work again after 30 seconds...

sometimes it will freeze until disconnected by server...

sometimes it will have a server disconnected dialog box...

on the server console, I can see messages about client not responding...

 

it will always happen when you first launch client, if you played once, joining server again will work fine.

 

not my hardware problem because alterrev M2 client works fine...

not my server problem because it happens on every server...

 

version 1032 released today have problems...

It's 103 not 1032.

 

Delete your caches files and run the LaunchIW4M.exe again

did, I said 1032, because you are pushing out minor releases, look in caches.xml

1031, then 1032, are version 103...

yesterday it was working fine, after today update, it is broken.

only change that was made was changing the authentication server, irrelevant to your oddly-described issue

I see. maybe the new server is far away/ slow from me and the net code is blocking some thread...

(I am just taking a wild guess here...)

 

from my experience, in previous version, after joining a server, 4d1 client always had a momentary pause right after joining a game. However, the alterrev M2 client did not have this problem...

 

I guess I have to use the arev M2 client for now until I figure out whats wrong...

 

right after joining a server, after map load, does the client have to do a lot of networking stuff with some other network server??? will there be a problem if that other server is slow responding?

This is whats going on: please take a look and help me
either 1) I have a sound / mp3 problem, or

Download iw_20, and iw_12 iwds from this post, viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3776 , and copy them to your /main/ folder. See if that works.

I will try new iwd later, downloading.

This is from the arev M2 client, which has no freeze, the [NP] delay is very small, and the order of Unloaded fastfile, [NP], smoke grenede, messages are different...

I know, 4D1 is newer development code, arev M2 are older code.

 

I always got these mp3 error, they usually are not problems.

You dont happen to have a file in your MW2 folder named credui.dll, do you? If so, delete it.

no I don't have credui.dll.

it's obvious that after game started, those [NP] code are freezing the game, sometimes short, sometimes very long.. need to move them back up before starting the game and get rid of the long delay problem.

Having high delay to specific server in the Internet has nothing to do with the used code.

NP_GetPublisherFile calls during CI init are synchronous, and might cause issues. I've not seen NP have >1s delays in normal cases yet, though.

I downloaded new iwd 12 and 20 files, and md5 hashed them they are the same.

 

However, today the freeze is reduced to 2 seconds, like in previous versions...

I always had this 2 second freeze, its just yesterday when u change server, it became a 30 second freeze, now its back to 2 seconds.

 

Anyway, thank you for the great work NTAuthority on this MW2 project and brought us 3 years of fun time playing..

 

However, these days, everyone (most my friends) is playing MW3 now, my MW2 server is mostly empty..

I don't know if its worth you guys valuable time continue beating on this dead horse any more.

 

Salute...

 

(when BO2 comes out, you guys will mod it and release it quickly, right? )

(too many hackers on MW3, someone needs to work on anticheat really urgently
