Whenever i go to the Advanced game listings on WOL, my computer freezes for about 5 min, then unfreezes. I have to wait FOREVER. This is very annoying. Any ideas?

I have the same problem and so do a lot of other people. Something related to the version 1.037 patch. The only way i can get around it is to wait for about 5 minutes.

The first part is depending on how many .pkg's you have. The PT one only happens to me in Multiplayer Practice.

For all web hosting needs, visit BBFWeb

[BBF] Imdgr8one, check out the BBF server on WOL!

Very annoying indeed. It is true that it is related to any maps or mods that you have in your /data directory. I used to have this problem, and renegade alert tripled it.

I just ended up wipping out my renegade installation and only placing the maps that I know are played in the servers I frequent (its like 5 extra maps), and it cut my time down to about 5 seconds.

There must be something the WOL client does that indexes all the maps and pkg's you have in your directory that just takes forvever.

signatures suck

You may want to see what network clients you have installed. Unneeded network components such as netbeui & NDIS drivers etc can slow down negotiation time.

The only adapters and protocols needed are :

TCP/IP
NIC/MODEM Adapter
Client for Microsoft Networks(optional but some claim it helps save passwords)

WOL is reading all the contents of your .mix and .pkg's in your date folder. Delete some old maps, mod packages, etc, and it shouldnt freeze as long. Mine used to be about 5 minutes, then I deleted all my old mod packages I tested on, some old maps, anything uneeded, now mine freezes for maybe 20 seconds at the most. Smile

I have around 150 maps in my ren data folder and it only sometimes freezes, and then for around 20 seconds.

I suspect its renegade scanning the maps you have so it knows which servers you can join...
