The "Loading Wheel of Death" when joining servers.


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi All,

 

I have encountered an issue with my multiplayer game.

 

Every time I load up il2 and join a server for the first time, I get a "loading wheel" which does not allow me to select any airfields to spawn at, nor can I use chat / press any other features of the map screen. The only way out of it is to CNTRL + ALT + DELETE and close program. It usually works fine the next time I load IL2.

 

 I was wondering:

 

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

If so, how can I fix the issue?

 

Cheers,

 

Tipsi

 

For reference, this has happened on each of the Combat Box, Wings of Liberty and Berloga servers.

On Combat Box, I do notice that the wheel spins for quite some time. If I try and click on a bunch of stuff before it finishes sometimes it locks up the game and I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL.  But if I wait it sorts itself out. Seems to take at least 30 seconds after entering the map screen. How long have you been waiting?

Haha, I do remember waiting one time an uncomfortably long amount of time! Im not sure maybe 15-20mins?

Oh, well, that's different then lol. I have never had to wait that long. Not sure what could be causing that.

Does the mission always take so long to load, or only at certain times of the day?
