Alright, so when I start the game everything goes good. I go into the multiplayer screen select a server and hit "join". Then the black screen with white letters comes up saying "Connecting. (F10 cancels)" etc. Then it just locks up and I have to restart my computer.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

try deleting your red orchestra folder ( you wont have to redownload the game).

just delete

C:\program files\steam\steamapps\<username>\red orchestra

if you want to save your tweaks and user configs be sure to backup

C:\program files\steam\steamapps\<username>\red orchestra\system\

redorchestra.ini and user.ini :), just place them back after deleting the folder then :)

Steam will regenerate the folder next time you launch it. You aren't deleting the game, or the content, just a specific folder which steam will regenerate out of the gfc's that it needs to run.

So, Zetsumei, how would I get my game back once I do this?

Start up steam, and start up red orchestra from there it will then reextract the needed files from the gcf files.
