Launcher stuck at server search
Hello,
I got a bug of sort to report. It happened in the earlier version too so not concerning only this patch.
My Launcher.exe gets stuck on the server search window when I try to change the server search from Lan to Internet. It happens on the click on the dropdownbox where Lan is default. After that the game appears to freeze and wont take any input, and I have to use taskmanager to close Launcher.exe. Taskmanager shows activity in Launcher.exe so it isnt a complete freeze. More detail inspection revealed that Launcher.exe is waiting reply from networkconnection/svchost.exe? IIRC (It was on the first time it happened I checked that).
I found the cause why this is happening:
When starting Launcher.exe, I was clicking other windows during Launcher loadup when desktop is still visible with the crosshair, it messes up the loading procedure of Launcher somehow.
The result is I lose the Ubi intro (can hear the sound of it but screen remains black). And after that going into multiplayer server search window Launcher gets stuck when I try to change searching servers from Lan to Internet. I can search for lobbies, but I guess they dont work as they should.
Restarting the game and/or Steam wont cure it. Reinstall will.
I can play the singleplayer missions, but its the multiplayer what I got the game for. Any help ? Installing COD for the third time now...

Solved:
It is gpu driver setting which is causing the freeze. In ati CCC using override application settings screws it up, the other settings: enhance application settings and application settings works just fine... nothing to do with things mentioned above.
Weird though how gpu settings can cause such a thing to happen...
