[HELP] Frozen Screen > Invalid Time

[Housekeepr]

Hi all,

I've been irritating myself lately again to a issue i have, on which i can't seem to solve the problem.
Here's whats happening. Im driving an RPG Map (doesn't matter which one) but mostly on longer maps, after a while...
(tonight i drove Detroit, after 35min @ CP 55 a player joins the server, while theyre alrdy like 10 players and people joined before too nothing happend, but then "a player joins" and my screen Freezes for a second or 2 and i get an invalid time...)

Then i start over... after 1h20min @ CP 85... a player joins, my screen freeze's and invalid time...
This happens on almost any server i am, doesnt matter which one...

I posted this issue on TM-forum, but they couldnt get a solution,
I tried to lower and higher my settings, but the issue stays,
I tried to re-install my TM, the issue stays
I even re-installed Windows and the issue stays
I updated my video-card up to date, which is a quite good one, the issue stays

Soooo...
Any toughts?
I could really appriciate any tought to fix this annoying solution...

Thnx in advance

i have those issues if my skype is running too long :wacko:
but then i get 20sec lags

[trunks_11]

i think the invalid time comes because of a bad internet acces... and when you have opened too much programs which use "internet" it starts to lag, and when there

all i know about that is that i was getting 2-3s lags every time a player joined when i was playing heaven's on fire, but no red time, just a 3s lag..
no ideas about your problem :s tried to hide the chat?

Thnx for the reactions,
Ign, Both time i drove with star, so no time no chat no aseco nothing in my screen,

And i dont have much programs running using internet while i play TM trunks, i do use skype also, but i can't think its the problem, i also have it without using it...
Its really strange issue

Normally i have my own server running aswell, and no problems with it.
As long a player doesn't join i can drive on as long as i want without having it.
And its not with every player, but just randomly after some time, from other players i dont even notice them coming in (when i pressed star)
So yes its quite okward...

Maybe try clearing your cache....just a hunch....but maybe there are some files in your cache that load really slow for some reason and that get activated when a certain player joins....

And does this still occur when you disable download of custom content? Maybe disable custom skins....

External hard disks sometimes plugged into USB are slow

[Housekeepr]

@ Hawkger, I tried both, but after 22min on a map named puzzletime i got the same issue again when a player joined, also with downloads off

@ PCC i dont use a external hard disk.

Hi House! I hade this problem too once ; after i've
Install "antivirus AVAST full 6"
I've just adjusted "the firewall to "allow" TMUF Even if it was already "allowed".I think an update hade "block" it.

If not, you could try to deactivate your firewall/antivirus during playtime since you don't really need it

Good luck !!
