I have had the game for about a week now and once it finishing loading with the little bar and goes to the chalkboard where the server's info should be posted it freezes. The music will play on a short loop and stutter, the only image is that of the chalkboard and whatever background the server is trying to post, and I am unable to fix the problem with a re-install (tried twice). Is this a common problem or am I the first to be fucked?

Specs just in case:

Vista 32bit Home
8600GT M
2.0Ghz Dual Core
4GB RAM

EDIT- It does not happen in every server I enter, but it does in most. If the sever has a map rotation it will also sometimes freeze during this, even though I have been able to get past the chalkboard once before in the same session.

If you are using Windows Vista, especially 64 bit, download this, it may help:

I had a CTD whenever the map was changing, and this helped it.
Although this is not the same problem as yours, it may help.

SamBo: Yes, I just checked and I'm all up to date, good suggestion though, hadn't thought of that.
Dookie: I am on 32bit vista, but I will give that a look, thanks man!
Peter: I do not. No downloads while I'm playing.

Thanks for the replies guys, karam all around.

I found this in a google search.  More specifically, it states:

Go into Games/Launch Options/ and paste this.............

I don't know if that helps you or not.  I'd take a look at that though, some of the comments might have fixes as well.
