FF Freeze 'Retreivieng Server blahblahblah'

BOOm · 10-01-2007, 04:21 AM

Not to be an ass, but I'm tired of reading post after posts from FF devs saying that the freeze issue during server connection is either hardware related, or that the HL2 engine just can't handle those maps.

I'm here to say that my computer is pretty beasty. I installed FF and it ran perfectly. Connecting to servers and being ingame in 10-20 seconds or less? Nothing was wrong with the performance of the game. Everything worked like clockwork.

I play for 1-2 weeks with absolutely no problems. I uninstall FF and then 3 days later I reinstall it. This time I get the freezing that so many people are experiencing when trying to connect. After it hits retrieving server data it freezes like a fucking ice cube. If this doesn't tell you that something is wrong, then I don't know what will.

I went from running FF PERFECTLY.. to it freezing and not even being able to get in game *sometimes* unless I sit for insane amounts of time. Just because I reinstalled it. Maybe some of the maps do push the HL2 engine, but this is probably the cause of very few problems. None of my other HL2 games have this problem, and I have played on much more complex maps than some of the FF ones that take forever to load.

There is obviously something going on with the FF installation file, or a steam update has fucked some shit up. Which in that case it is probably still up to you guys to fix.

If uninstalling it once fucked it up, reinstall it and see if it fixes it.

I reinstalled again, this time it works better, but about midway between how perfect it originally worked, and how fucked up it worked the second try

I was able to play the beta but not the release whatsoever. I've tried reinstalling 3 times.

I'm just about to give up on FF

Anyone else feel like that?

I've pretty much given up already. TF2 is right around the corner.
