Unacceptable!!!!!!

OK, the delayed MW2 launch issue seemed to clear up after the last update, but it's back and worse!!!! I launch MW2 Multiplayer and the screen with the Play-Options-Main Menu comes up and freezes for approx 4 seconds, it then starts for les than a second, then freezes for another 4 seconds AND IT KEEPS THIS UP FOR 10 MINUTES!!!!!!!! I'm not exaggerating, I timed it! I have turned off all unnecessary processes, disabled antivirus, and NOTHING helps! Any ideas? My specs are as follows:

Reinstal Game/OS
I have much worser Computer and I'm playinf on max without any problem. No freezing just fine.

Yeah, I would definitely go for a reinstall. I play on a freaking netbook and I don't have these freezing issues.

Jeeze, what's the resolution on that thing? How can you see?

@OP A reinstall would be best, if nothing, check this thread.

1366x768, aka 720p, 12.1". I have to sit a bit closer to it than I normally would on my 20" desktop monitor, but I see just fine. The more surprising part is that the game runs fine.

Just right click the game in your steam library and click delete local content.

And no, you will not lose your rank, stats or whatever.

masterchef341 · 03-12-2010, 05:03 AM

1280x720 is aka 720p

1366x768 is not 720p.

Mine's been doing this too, not that excessive, but every time it starts up, it'll freeze for about 30 seconds, i have to sit there and wait, it's really annoying..

Windows 7 64bit

Tried the uninstall, still having delay. :0( Any other ideas? TIA!

It's a UPNP thing. Either disable UPNP on your router and manually forward port 28960 or replace the router entirely.

The UPNP seemed to work, but it tells me to go to www.infinityward.com/nat and that my NAT type is strict. I go to that page and it tells me to turn UPNP on, that the games I can join is limited without it. Is this true?

open steam Click File -> Settings -> click ingame tab,and uncheck the box that says enable steam ingame.

worked for me i have stutters/freezes when starting mw2 for a few mins,i keep mine on tho to invite friends.

Hope it helps.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

turn multicore rendering off, this 4 second freeze usually happens with mc rendering on. it deffinatly did with l4d, since then i have always had it off and everything has been sweet. (multi core rendering is in your in game graphical options)

you can not disable Multicore rendering in MW2
