Stops responding when starting local server

Rudy.cz

<div class="IPBDescription">Dual Core issue ?</div>I am still having this anoying problem since 221.

When I am starting a local server, the game always stops responding after "Finishd loading map 'bla bla bla'". The only way to shut it is to kill it through Windows task manager.

There is no problem, when connecting to online servers.

My system specs are:

Core 2 Duo E6750
Asus P5N32-E
Gigabyte GTS250
4GB RAM
Win 7 x64

Check the other threads. You are not alone.

I know about that, but that topic is related to Mod downloading issues. This is different bug, though they could be related to each other.

They could be related, have you tried the numerous troubleshooting steps mentioned in other threads? For a start, you can try to run ns2.exe as Administrator.
B222 is supposed to have fixed single-core issues.

This is happening to me as well, can't test my map until it's fixed.

It seems i can run a dedicated server so that will do until there's a fix, however i would like to run devmode and cheats so i can add bots and stuff, i've tried all sorts but can't get it to work by adding dev to server config or shortcut, both true and 1 don't seem to work, webadmin shows them as false no matter how i format things, what should i do?

i never had that problem, not even in 223 but suddenly this week i have the same issue.

deleted ns2, cleaned pc, reinstalled, nothing, server hangs on every map, even kouji-san's sample map, log reports nothing.

I could not run a server or test my maps ...

I solved it by deleting some files that are in:


C: \ Users \ "Username" \ AppData \ Roaming \ Natural Selection 2


files:

ConsistencyConfig.json
FavoriteServers.json
MapCycle.json
ServerAdmin.json
ServerConfig.json

It seems that the game remakes those files that were previously empty.

I hope this helps.

nope, local sever still freezes
