Hi, just bought game. Game loads up explore fine (just me on my own messing around), but when I try to join a server it either times out or freezes (have to restart pc) on precaching. Been trying for couple of days now. For the record (im not having a stab) I dont get this problem with other online games. Tried main fixes listed, no help. Anyone else found fix for this please?

    The initial startup of NS2 from a fresh patch or new install is always going to be longer as it has to compile the shaders and load everything into memory. The followup mapchanges or restarting NS2 during your windows session should be faster. And if you have enough RAM, should be super fast.

    Just keep in mind that on your next windows startup, it will have to load it into memory once more on the first start, which will be faster than the initial fresh patch or new install scenario...
