Help!

It's in documents/my games/ Red Orchestra 2. After last patch, my game would freeze at launch splash (CPU monitor showed 100%), had to task manager out of it. I installed latest ATI driver (11.11 I think), deleted all RO2 stuff I could find including the documents folder as above, then ran CCleaner (a registry/file checker program) then reinstalled the game, started it and again froze at splash screen, task manager'd out, then deleted again the documents/my games / Red Orchestra 2 folder again, restarted the game and.......it now works, have had to restart several times for graphics changes etc, but it is now working....so what "fixed" it?, donno....
The only thing I did between the last splash freeze and the successful start was to delete the documents/my games/Red Orchestra 2 folder, makes you wonder if there is any chance there is/are corrupt files being installed in the documents....Red Orchestra 2 folder from some Steam content servers? At Lethall, you might want to add your system specs to your signature. I have heard that manually editing/cleaning your registry can be dangerous if you don't know exactly what you are doing, this program [URL="http://majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_d4191.html"][URL="http://majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_d4191.html"][URL="http://majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_d4191.html"][URL="http://majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_d4191.html"][URL="http://majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_d4191.html"][url]http://majorgeeks.com/CCleaner_Slim_d4191.html[/URL][/URL][/URL][/URL][/URL][/URL] is free and you can create a backup before you clean, just my 2 cents.
It seems everyone including Tripwire has given up on this issue.
Most gamers with this problem have likely given up on the game and these forums long ago.
I know a lot of you are experiencing a freeze/hang/lockup soon after the RO2 splash screen appears. We need to know more about why it's stopping.
The first step is to enable your log.
To do this, go to Steam > Library > Right-click on RO2 > Properties > Set Launch Options
In the launch options window add "-log" without the quotes. Close and move on to part 2.
We also want you to unsuppress some logging information. If your game actually launches, it probably won't run very well. Again, this is mainly for people who actually get stuck at the screen all the time.
It does this .....
Navigate to documents\mygames\redorchestra2\rogame\config and open ROEngine.ini.
Scroll down and you'll find a section with a lot of Suppress lines like so:
Please add a semi-colon in front of every Suppress line so it looks like this:Code:Suppress=Dev Suppress=DevAbsorbFuncs Suppress=DevAnim Suppress=DevAssetDataBase
Once that is done, save the file and launch the game.Code:;Suppress=Dev ;Suppress=DevAbsorbFuncs ;Suppress=DevAnim ;Suppress=DevAssetDataBase
You should see a ton of logspam. This is normal. If it hard locks again or just sits there, please navigate to the log window itself and hit Ctrl+C to close it down gently.
Once that is done, please attach your .log and any .dmp files that are created in a post down below. Do not cut and paste.
Log & dump files can be found here: documents\mygames\redorchestra2\rogame\logs
