HOG server join bug

[xpugur]

Hi,
i did not see this report at forums...
that is a weird thing, i am not sure it is a real bug tho ...

when i open game, join internet- search servers to enter server right?
yea .. when i click search servers the list comes up as normal ... if i click HOG SERVER FIRST screen freezes (music continues), i wait for several minutes but nothing happens, i have to open task manager and end the pr2 process to close the game..

but if i click any other server like prta ssg (except HOG) it renew the ping and i can join server, or i can click HOG and join server without problem...

so when i open game and click HOG server FIRST screen freezes (before renew ping) i mean when select HOG (NOT double click) i have to restart game and have to click any other server then click HOG .. .

is this related to HOG server or game? ... may be for a year now, i thought this might get fixed after updates, but still there and keep happening if i accidentally click HOG first so i try to aviod it ...

............. another thing is the server list is very low right now? there was maybe 5-10 more servers at the list before(even they were empty) so did people lost interest in game or is it only my problem .. only can play with HOG-SSG-sometimes prta- not using russian server .......

this bug is still there. .my friend just installed PR, and he also have same bug...

after opening game, listing servers(update server list) if you click HOG first game become responsiveness (have to open task manager and close the PR process which says "not responding" ...
if after updating server list i click on PRTA then click on HOG it is ok, i can enter game without problem..
and also after exiting a server, after server list update againg i have to click other servers before clicking HOG or game become frozen again (music keeps playing but everything become frozen including cursor)

also my friend has win10--nvidia 1080 and 32 gb ram with ssd ... same happened him too and it was a clean install(new pc)

Could have something to do with the game not being able to ping the server? If I open the server browser and hit a high-ping server the game can freeze up for a bit - sometimes it takes annoyingly long for it to both update the server and act normal again.

well i know about that, it can happen sometimes and show the ping as 2500... but the problem i am talking about is different ... and never happened with other servers.. and as i said it always happen if i click HOG server first...

by the way i did clear server shader etc. caches ((sometimes still have sq leader bug too)).. so it can not be the problem too.. i even clear temp files etc. with ccleaner

i thought only i got that problem.. but recently my friend installed (clean install) and it happened to him too, so i belive more people have this problem...
