Freezes Just After Loading

Just after the server finishes loading, the screen locks-up. The sound still works perfectly, but when i move the mouse, my guy won't look around. The strange thing is, when i press ESC, it goes to the menu screen, and the screen position moves to where the crossair should be. I press ESC to go back into the game, and it locks-up again, move the mouse round a bit, press ESC and the screen moves.

That's the best i can describe it to be honest


Any Idea's?

    Moving this to tech support where other players can respond.

    I'll start if off by asking "Are you alt-tabbing at somepoint" cause this happens a lot when people alt tab during the loading process.

    The only time I have seen this occur is when you alt-tab out of NS, whilst the server is loading. The screen doesn't fully refresh, and continues to draw what it is supposed to, giving you a horrible blurry mess.

    i dont think this should be in tech support, since its not specific to his computer only. it happens to pretty much anyone who alttabs out while loading.

    This has happened to me as well. But it has only happened if NS decides to minimise by itself while it is loading. The only way to fix this is to completely exit the game and rejoin.
