[Tuning] If you hang/crash at the splash screen!

[loc74]

While Tripwire works on this crash at splash screen problem ...

if you rename your Library/Documents/My Documents/My Games/RedOrchestra2 folder to something else like xRedOrchestra2 and restart RO2, I think you'll find that it'll start ok but since it recreates the RedOrchestra2 folder, you'll have to reset all your game settings.

i did that and it made a new folder for me, which now has a launch file which is not blank maybe this will be use full

At this point, the game is not playable. It is so frustrating, that I gave up....

Right, reinstalled steam, re downloaded RO2, still the buggering same.

I had the exact same problem as you guys, and I just solved it. MY game was not starting up, and was simply hanging at the loading screen. However, the solution I did was extreme and I doubt many of you will try it. I had other games that were not working, and since its a new computer and I don't have very many files I re-installed windows 7... The game works fine now, but that solution shouldn't be the only way. Hope they solve the problem for you soon guys

Mines a fresh install, put on the day the beta was released

 

[loc74]

do u think they are working on improvment for gameplay or helping people who cant start it now?

 

[PUTZ]

Helping people who cant run the game when they otherwise should be able to will always be a top priority.

They will be trying to sort it out but who knows how long it will take....

TWI are great for sorting stuff out.

*doh, Putz got in before me

 

[loc74]

i am a very patience person, hell i have had the game since i could be preordered so i was just wondering if they havnt forgot about us, but i see it is a growing issue,best to luck to the team

Happens in the Beta as well as the full game

+1
The "old" beta, before the release of the full version did never hang at startup. And it is really strange, because after an undefined number of tries it will start. At least on my PC. And more likely after booting it. But not always. I am working in a Software department and errors, which cannot be reproduced in an exact way are frustrating.

i Dont know how useful that could be, but i noticed that, if o open firefox at the moment the splash screen appear and browse google and this forum for about 30 sec, the game finally open.

I have no clue but it possibly have something to do with the memory allocation or something like that.

 

[SNOUPS4]

My game never ran, no matter how much time I waited. Never.

This sounds like voodoo, but I have almost the same experience. I first noticed it when I started the game for the nth time with the hope that it would finally come up and continued reading and scrolling the forums (or other websites). It usually started better, when I continued to surf the web. Not always, but more often than just trying to start the game without other apps running (after about 10 unsuccessful tries I usually play RnL or CoH). Weird.

i successful suppress :IS2: problem by to install true distributive of Punk-Buster (bpsetup), setup it's for RO2, update it.

after game started.

p.s. and i delete settings from document files (folder "My Games")

Try to surf the web on the first try instead, and give me some news.
I am pretty sure it have something to do with memory allocation or something like that.
