Loading screen freezes with flickering bars

Postby fok12 » Fri 30 Aug, 2013 2:31 pm

I have joined some games these days after the beta 4 was released and I encountered a problem. During the loading screen sometimes a player (never myself) loads up to 3/4s of the way and then his loading bar goes crazy switching between full and 3/4s. Then the in-game selection cross appears, music plays but the game just stays there like it is stuck. Could this be caused is that player hasn't downloaded the beta 3 and upraded to beta 4 after, because when I only had upgraded from beta 2 to 4 right away this also happed, but not all the time.

PS: I have everything installed correctly now. (And sorry for the text wall :P )

it's a sync error when someone takes a long time to connect, usually just gotta wait a minute or 2 then the game resumes, if it doesn't then you just have to remake. Not much you can really do

I experienced similar problems (not on myself, but with others) with some of the redux-ed maps, I think.

it's a connection problem. Used to see it all the time in retail, still see it sometimes.
Don't think it has to do with the new maps.

i think you need to install every beta step, because the maps are in Beta 3

I have everything installed correctly, but I guess it is in fact a connection problem.

really, we had the same problem in one game, and it was becaue one of the playewrs had not the beta 3 installed and didnt have the map, so he was not able to finish loading.
