Phoenix13 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I have this issue only with this server. My maps won't load and I'm stuck in the loading screens. I tried resetting my settings and verifying my game integrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienXAXS Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Hi Phoenix, Have you tried cleaning your cache folder? Mine is located here: \Renegade X\UDKGame\Cache Please note, sometimes due to our mods your client has to re-compile shaders for some models, this can cause your client to look "crashed" during the first time you join it. Give the cache clearing a go, and let me know how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it was the repair pod file that did not fully download, that may have been the issue. I'll have to wait for the server to get back up to test it.

Phoenix13 Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) Cool But, I tried deleting the cache twice and downloaded the files again by joining the server, and I still get stuck in the loading screen. I tried another server and loaded successfully. Maybe I should get the files from another source and put them into my cache file, any suggestions?

Ryz Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) The solution is different (I guess): Yesterday we tested this on two computers. When you launch the server from the launcher you end up in the games main menu with nothing happening. I did some digging and the shaders were compiled for Lakeside. For some reason this happens, I guess due to custom content. Since many people don't know this is happening (and since the game doesn't show anything) they assume (like I did) that there is something wrong and exit the game. This also stops the shader compiling. Next time wait for a while longer and you will be able to enter the server.

Totem Arts Staff NodSaibot Posted December 24, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted December 24, 2017 We didn't change the map, that would require us to upload a new Lakeside and you to download it. Unless you downloaded a new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say highly unlikely, as the repair pad isn't spawned until after the map loads, and it uses dynamic lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue what it is and I am not posting this to blame someone, just to mention it happens. Keep in mind: 1) More people have it / reported it on Discord 2) I had it myself on 2 desktops (both used for Renegade-x weekly and all up-to-date) 3) I had it with other maps on that specific server only 4) Never had this issue on another server, besides servers not having certain maps 5) Since the rendering takes quite a while I assume it's something large being rendered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienXAXS Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Of course my Mutator is causing clients to recompile shaders, but why it's doing this is still an unknown to me. What is more strange is reports of this happened between the repair pads being put in, and the new PT's and to my best of knowledge no new models were put in during that time. Perhaps it's the Purchase Terminals, but then again you said LakeSide caused an issue, that's a flying map isn't it? - if so the custom PT's do not activate on flying maps. Ugh, something to investigate at some point, but as you said already @Ryz logging is pretty much useless at this point as it does not show why the engine decided it needed to re-do shaders. ** Edit ** Line 511: [0023.66] Log: Missing cached shader map for material DecalM_MuddyTrack_Parent_Cheaper, quality 0, compiling.

Ryz Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 PT terminal is a 'PT level' so it can be the case this is being built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienXAXS Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 After speaking with Kenz, it appears that if anything in the mutator uses a material that is not "standard" then the game will have to compile shaders for that single material. So, due to having Repair Pads, and the Custom Crate texture, the game must re-compile shaders for the client, this is done on a per-client basis and cannot be pre-compiled. While annoying, you only have to do it once, and there is nothing i can do about it unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazJrt Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Hi Every time I try to play your server I cannot it tires to load but ends up freezing my game totally is there no other place to download all the new features so then I can just install them and run the game as the other servers running normal game are fine.

Hey there! Do you get past the dow nload screen? If you wouldn't mind, delete everything that's in the Cache folder. Simply delete everything inside the folder, but not the folder itself. One other thing that would be useful to know is the specs of your CPU. My guess is that you haven't compiled the shaders for the material that we use for the repair pad. Every new material that is added to the game must be compiled before you are able to enter the level. This usually requires a few minutes and high CPU usage. If you are attempting to enter the server, open your Task manager and look for the process "UE3ShaderCompileWorker". I hope this helps -Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazJrt Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 ok I cleared cache that did not work and I found my system info windows 8.1 installed ram 8GB Processor: Intel(R) Pentuim(R) CPU G3260 3.30 GHz 3.30GHz system type: 64-bit operating system, x64-base processor other then windows 8.1 all mine are higher then your own so I dunno.

I see you have a dual-core system, which may be the root of your problem. When you enter the server, you have to build the material shaders, which is highly CPU intensive. Like I said, it may just be that it takes a long time to do the shader building. (That wasn't my PC, was just an image I found online) If you can get on our Discord, I can help you faster as well.

RypeL Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 DID you REALLY just wait ? If so how long did you wait ? Cause it is normal for the game to totally freeze till it did the initial downloads/initialization. Happened to me aswell, total freeze, but after a minute or two it continued.
