' Wrote:That strange because I have the same problem when trying to connect to an empty server...
and while I'm at it....
why does my startupscreen turn to black ... in a flickering way with this only in the left-tophand corner
Thats the bloom effect you have installed
As for your first problems, i have that to, i find playing on other servers fixes the problem, a lot less fun, but i have had 0 success gaining a stable connection to discovery rp servers.
The problem is fixable, i just don't know how, but i can play discovery RP servers with OLD crappy laptops, just not with new expensive pc's.
I theorized possibly firewall issues or one of the 100 other start up apps. Im going to multiboot a "freelancer" windows xp pro and keep it vanilla and try that, will let you know if it works out.
My ping is 226 - 326 on discovery servers, 0% fluct 0% loss 0% lag
