Title: Game is Freezing while Initializing World
Post by: Exodus Mars on November 07, 2004, 06:13:35 pm: I have tried many times to login, I have an account I press CONNECT I enter my Username and Password, It goes to this screen that says
Loading :
Loading Basic Textures
Initializing Character
Initializing GUI
Initializing World
Then the screen turns black and nothing else happens.

How long do you wait?
Are you pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE?
What are your computer specs?
Are you searching for the answer first?

The initial loading can take up to 2 hours. Subsequent loading will not take that long it is just for the very first one. However, if you press CTRL+ALT+DELETE or try and exit it it will never load.

This is a good game but you could work on the technical problems because I\'ve had alot, and I don\'t think many people would play this game because of the problems and lag. I know you\'re working on it, but my suggestion is to work more on the technical flukes than just expanding the world. I think this will be a good game when it is done. ;)

Linkdead is common you will see alo of threads about it to help you.

It doesnt freeze it just somtimes takes a LONG time to load up the game for the first time.

And when u said lag...its not lag. Its some graphical thing that i dont know much about. CB is coming out soon so almost everything is going to be fixed. :]

Before you make comments about what are and/or aren\'t being done why don\'t you do some research and figure out what is being done.

Then you didn\'t read what was suggested. Do not press CTRL+ALT+DEL or anything else. The first time the game loads it can take up to 2 hours on some systems. If you press anything during that loading time it will never complete. Don\'t worry once the game loads the first time the rest of the time you start it it will not take that long to load.
