Freezing on Loading?

[The Dark One]

So, I've been having an issue: I keep freezing on the loading screen for missions. There's no real pattern to it, it just happens on random missions, including ones that I've played before without issue. I don't think it's me not giving the mission time to load, I usually wait about seven to ten minutes of the loading bar not moving at all before I do anything, and again, it's happening on missions I've played before without issue. Anyone else had this?

Try the different options for:

 

image_mipmapMode

 

The default 2 offloads Mipmap generation to the OpenGL driver using GL2 standards,

then there is a legacy GL option 1, and finally, 0 reverts to the Mipmap generation

that ships with Doom 3.

 

This could be placebo, but I also think setting com_fixedTic 1 speeds up the process.

Mind explaining how one would do this?

Decide with value you want to give on image_mipmapMode, instead of the value "2".

To change this value you can do one of the following methods:

• change the value in file darkmod.cfg, with your favo plaintext editor (like notepad, notepad++, vi, etc):
  Open darkmod.cfg and change the value "2" of line "seta image_mipmapMode"
• Or open the darkmod console and enther the command: image_mipmapMode 2
• Start tdm with an argument: +seta image_mipmapMode 2

 

But to give us more information, please create a log,

while loading a mission and post its content in a spoiler?
Use the arguments:
First a log for loading the game: +condump mylog.txt +quit
Then a log for loading a mission: +developer 1 +set logfile 2 +map training_mission
if you have difficulties to run tdm with arguments, use the tdm launcher.

I'm still not totally sure how to do these things. :/ Still, noted, I'll have to play around later.

CTRL + ALT + TILDE (~) will open the console.

 

Then type:

 

image_mipmapMode

 

and press ENTER

 

The console will report your current mode and the available options.

 

Then try typing

 

image_mipmapMode 0

 

and press ENTER

 

This will set you to Doom 3 style loading. (Not Driver Based).

 

Then close the console by CTRL + ALT + TILDE

 

and try starting a mission.

I did this.

 

It crashed as soon as I tried to start a mission. Might have been coincidence though, maybe I'm really just not waiting long enough on these loading screens.

Could you give us a log?
