Default loads into game but cannot move 8 out of 10 times

about 8 out of 10 times after waiting thru the load, picking my team, then picking my class (and hearing the sounds from the game which means it did actually connect) i will enter the battlefield and not be able to move... i am completly disconnected

this is not my connection otherwise it would not be disconnecting at exactly the same moment when i actually enter the battlefield each time

it almost seems map related there are several maps i have never played because it never makes that finel connection

once in the battlefield i can shoot my gun, but the bullets do not hit the ground, i cannot reload.. etc...

this is INSANLY FRUSTRATING!!! my comp takes forever to load... i end up spending 30 min (very literally) trying to play a 20 min round... and once i get in the next map load is the same gamble of 8 out of 10

this is unplayable, and excruciating because i really love the gameplay

ps: ive actually come to reading a book while im waiting to load and restarting loads

this happened to me a bunch of times, really pissed me off.

You should have checked the known problem list. Basically you are timing out your connection on the server. What I did to fix my problem was to turn prechaching to false. This seemed to fix it.

Go to c:/programfiles/steam/steamapps/_____@_____/RedOrchestra/systemfiles/

then find the filecalled redorchestra.ini or config file

open it up in text editor

use ctrl+f to search for "usepre" and chage all of them to false.

Save it

this worked for me and cut my load time in half

i am about to do this but i need one last confirmation... lets say they fix it in the future will it overwrite both of these settings? or will i have to go back and change it.

secondly... despite the game loading faster i wont have anything precached and because i only have 512mb ram will this hurt my performance alot?

for me its only called "red orchestra" and if you click it once some of the proporties that show up on the left include "configuration settings" that should be it... i didnt see mention of ini so that may have confuzed you (as it did me).

ps: thank you very much to the poster who posted this the load times are atleast 50% faster and it didnt really affect fps... though i still feel that it takes a little longer for the game to "smooth out" in the begining.

If you delete the RO.ini file, it will just make a new one the next time you start up the game.

The fix I posed above is a good fix that works for most people. I almost quit the game forever before I found it and my load time dropped immensely. To answer some questions...

You just need to find the file with your configuration settings in it, which is called redorchestra config or just redorchestra and looks like a notepad document.

I only have 512 RAM and this is a tweak that is great for people with low RAM.

And I don't think there will ever be a fix that makes this not applicable. Because basically you are just not loading up all the files for a map before hand (models, sounds etc) and load them up on the fly when you are playing. That is why it is so choppy at the beginning. So there isn't much of a fix that could occur.

Im pretty computer stupid but I think this is correct.
