Game stuck on loading screen

[Cory1311]

So I start the launcher and then click join the sever everything loads up and goes through the little movies or whatever they are. Then it says establishing battlefield control. It just will load forever and never stop let it sit there for like a hour once nothing happened. Please help

Hi Cory,

Welcome to the game. Lets do a little debugging. Does this also happen when starting a skirmish game?

Also, could you please post the log file, directly after the problem occurs. You can find the log at, (game folder)\UDKGame\Logs\Launch.log

For now, you can try verifying the game, by opening the launcher->settings->verify game integrity.

my bet its a custom map and the shaders are building (it may take a wile but you can check if it is building shaders in task manager ... cant remember the process name but it will have shaders in the name and it will max out your cpu usage)

 

if it is the shaders building just leave it it will finish soon and you shouldnt have to rebuild them again (for that map / map version)

In the launcher options, do 'reset game' 

9/10 it's just old/bad configuration files.

I have not seen any loading screens at all since spring I think.

want them back? deselect the "Skip Movies" option [Launcher -> Settings] but doing so you'll also get the rather quite UDK intro back

didn't even notice I had that option selected, thanks. I really missed that loud intro
