PR Freezes after connecting to server

Hello everyone. I was playing fine a couple days ago, however recently after connecting to a server, loading up, and getting in game, my computer freezes up completely. I have tried this on HOG, and it's happened 3 times in a row, forcing my to shut down my computer. I saw this thread, however mine is in game, not in the server browser window.

Any ideas? I am going to try to get onto another server to see if the same thing happens. I haven't done anything different since the last time I played, just randomly started freezing.

Thanks!

Other severs seem like they work fine, just get a full computer freeze when I connect to HOG

Things seem to work fine now after clearing shaders and all the other things under utilities. Feel free to lock/delete. Thanks.

I recommend you to get a new graphics card... So you can plax on max. settings on 1600x900 or even Full HD (depends on your monitor), game looks a looot better with multisampling enabled...

I would however I play on my laptop, which cannot be easily upgraded :P

Works fine for now though, and eventually I'll be getting a desktop. But so long as I can play PR, which I can again now, I'll be fine ^^

Okay! :D

Still, you can try setting audio quality to "high" instead of standard "medium" ;)

(unless your sound then stutters ingame or other extreme issues, but I swear, you will hear the quality difference!!! Depending on your headphone too ofc...)

Daniel, you are not solving his problem you are trying to spend his money. Please stop .

Ratface, I am now for the first time also experiencing this freezing when I click on the HOG server in the server browser window. Others I play with mentioned the same.

I am not sure why this is happening.

Sry, but srsly, my last post was just for him to make sure to get the most out of his system and enjoy PR most possible right now. :)


On the freezing HOG list, I am sure it has to do sth. with the long connection over the continents, maybe NSA or whatever checks the data very carefully, when clicking on the HOG server, OR it is HOG server itself, checking some stuff...
