Game freezes on counter hitting 0:00 at game start on map change

After 2000+ hours of RO2 for some reason (no updates recently) the game freezes on map change after the counter hits 0:00 for the game to start.



I have tried:



------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Reboot PC

(done)

------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Update Punkbuster

(done)

------------------------------------------------------------------

3. RUN both "pbsvc_hos.exe" and "RO2Redist.exe"

(done)

"\Steam\steamapps\common\red orchestra 2\Binaries\windows"

(done)

------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Change Audio Quality to Low

8. Modify values in "ROEngine.ini" like so:

(done)

bInitializeShadersOnDemand=True

DisableATITextureFilterOptimizationChecks=True

UseMinimalNVIDIADriverShaderOptimization=True

------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Verify the Game Cache

(done)

------------------------------------------------------------------

10. Re-Install the Game from Steam

TO DO

------------------------------------------------------------------

11. Apply the Windows 7 3GB switch

a. Run a command prompt as Administrator.

b. Execute Command: "bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072"

c. Restart Computer

Note: Disable the 3GB switch via : "bcdedit /deletevalue IncreaseUserVa"
