When playing base assault I keep having the game freeze and locks the puter up. This seems to happen whenever i'm in a kick butt position. I'm then not allowed to log back in for some indeterminate time,the last being 17 minutes. I have a pretty highend puter, lots of memory and very good graphics card. I have never had any problems on any other server or with Call of Duty 2. Is there some setting that could be causing this?

Great server and I really enjoy playing with you all.

Nothing of interest showed up in the game logs but I did see you've been disconnected by punkbuster several times for
[03.01.2006 22:45:23] VIOLATION (IGNORING QUERIES) #9013: Bad Dad (slot #14)
[03.01.2006 22:45:24] Kick Command Issued (Ignoring MD5Tool Queries) for (slot#14) 67.170.39.244:-Bad Dad
[03.01.2006 22:45:24] Lost Connection (slot #14) 67.170.39.244:-4944 Bad Dad
The PB logs show almost a dozen of these over the last few days

Have you been getting messages about getting kicked by Punkbuster?
If not, than it probably coincides with the times your games freezes up.

I dug through every post about the subject an found only one suggested fix.
Currently the time limit on md5 checks is 10 seconds ( default )
I've raised this back up to the older default setting of 60

Another possible issue is after doing a check on your IP, I see you use comcast.
Lots of people on comcast have reported poor connections and disconnects to our servers ( not just ours but any servers located in Chicago ) over the last week.
I think whatever was causing the problem may of been fixed last night.
There is a good chance this was the reason for the PB kicks for "Ignoring MD5Tool Queries" as it's normally associated with a poor connection between the server and client.

If you still experience the same problem over the next few days.
The next thing to do would be check your even log after COD locks up on you.
Start>>Programs>Administrative Tools>>>Event Viewer
Than post back any warning or errors under System or Application.

Not a word was spoken to contradict or disagree with S@bot when he called me a....
bully, dictator, snide, hypocrite, arrogant, smartass and lets not forget,
according to him the way I act is reprehensible.
Yet, you're going to censor my signature because it's inappropriate and might hurt his little feelings???
Sorry. don't think so
