Nope. I've even tested it with a vanilla build (no other software installed but the OS and drivers, steam & tf2). Same result. I'd say it's around 50/50 (the chance for it to hang on the MOTD). Sometimes you can catch it by clicking continue before the page renders, but more often than not, if it's going to hang, it's going to hang.
Sometimes letting it sit there for 10 minutes or so will work and it will finally render. Other times it will eventually just crash out and throw an exception on hl2.exe. Sometimes it will render right away. It almost makes it look like a network issue, but I know it's not that. The only common link I have found thus far is that it all seems to be mobile GPU's based on 8200, 8400 and 8600 nvidia chips (it could be elsewhere, those are just the ones I've seen first hand). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Yatin Vadhia Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 2:15 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Cc: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] MOTD hang for Mobile GPUs Any other download managers?
