"Initializing" on my screen all the time

[000]

Hi,
 
I'm having a problem with ET recently. I know it happened with a few players in the past too, including me a few weeks ago and now its happening again. I have that "Initializing" thing written on my screen all the time, like when game is starting/map is loading but it wouldnt go away, map after map the same. Also the engi building objectives and tank were invisible, kind of bugged to me. Not sure what to do, if someone knows whats happening, i would really appreciate some help.

 
I took an SS to show whats going on.

 

Thank you,
Dani

 

 

The "initializing" thing

 

The invisible tank:
In the first picture: the tank just crossed the bridge. In the second image: that black smoke is the tank but just showing the smoke when it got disabled.

hmmmm that look like somethink problem from the server or from your connection.

anyway i hope fixed fast this problem and you come back in the game.

I think i need to tweak that settings a little bit. No idea why it doesn't go away for you.

Happened to me too last time, only on NQ2 and NQ3 if I remember right.

I think it has something to do with loading times: so maybe raising your \com_hunkmegs value, patching to latest ET version(2.6b) could help.

Also what are your system specs? I see error on some kind of shaders. Maybe its graphics card dependent?

I think that message was related verifying map related files between u and server, as vana said try increase hunkmegs.

Hi guys,

 

Great news!

Not sure if you fixed something on the server or i got to fix some settings. Fixed hunkmegs and some video things but wouldnt work even with a video restart, so i gave up for a while. When i connected after 1 or 2 hours later, the Initializing thing was gone and all working properly!!!

 

Not sure what happened exactly but its gone and all fixed!

Thanks a lot for the help, i really appreciate it.

 

Beers and cheers!

dani, i have that problem too. just on nq3...

but initializing moves away after seconds...

[000]

Yeah i had that in the past and i would go away pretty quickly but not this time, it stayed map after map, Appel. Like it was stuck or something and also the invisible problem.

 

Fortunetly all solved now though.

I still have the same.

It says Initializing for a second, then Preparing for a few more seconds and then everything is normal.

Just tested it now, I get it on NQ2 and NQ3.

ok but that's normal to see that on your screen for a few seconds the problem was for some it was staying on the screen for the whole map so dare changed a setting and its ok from what i can tell

what he changed  g_csStrings
