Recently, the problem has become worse. Once connected to the server, I can hear the gameplay audio, read the ingame chats for about 3 second. Then, everything, including the game clock stopped. I can click the admin logon button any of the buttons on bottom right. However, whatever I input would have no effect. I have tried to take screenshots, but whenever I try pasting it to Paint, it was always a blank or dark screen with nothing to see.
I have checked the SWAT4.log and found the following warning messages:
Code: Select all

At first, I thought the problem was because the server nearly full (15 players), and someone else beat me to take the 16th slot. However, this problem persists even when server is half-full.
So far, the only known workaround for me is to reboot the PC until I can connect to the server and play (may take more than 1 reboot). The problem is not limited to the VIP servers, but the co-op server as well. Reinstalling SWAT4 or Windows 7 did not solve the problem. Once in a while, I would be able to join the server on the first go, but that is quite rare.
Any ideas? TIA.
