eternal loading.

[jeme223 0]

So, every time i try to play the "loading" screen does not go away (well it did with a random server, but then the server restarted and i couldnt get it to work again.) most of the time there is no loading bar or anything, its just a black screen that says "loading" anybody know how to fix this?

P.S. I used to play this game a lot on this same PC, no lag, no problems, this problem began after, say 1.7.2.3 or so.... i thought it would fix itself so i left for awhile, but the problem is still persisting. Also, i have already uninstalled and reinstalled the game.

Recently I've been playing on servers which sometimes take up to 5 minutes to load in. I trust you've actually waited this long?

It used to be like 5-7 minute wait for me and now with this update it takes 1-3 minutes. MUCH more enjoyable after being spawned killed.

Load times seem to be extended on more populated servers btw. Glad you got in ENJOY!
