CoD2 Startup Time

[Jared]

@Tally okay I'll keep this in mind but I don't think its my internet. I have 50mb download speed and stuff and can play any other game online perfectly. I also have cod2 portforwarded but I'll check my firewall.
@Kung I'm running windows 7.

/edit
Tally I tried unplugging my internet and it still is the same problem. I don't see how doing that would change it anyway because I'm just going to the multiplayer menu.
Maybe I can explain better: As soon as I launch cod2mp.exe it goes to a black screen for 30 seconds than to the cod2 main menu.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with your internet. I said a connection problem - as in something blocking COD2 from connecting. The game will take longer to compile if it cannot establish a connection. This is because the game builds a virtual machine, and establishing a connection is part of that virtual machine.

Anyway, it was that, and I'm glad you got it sorted.

Ah sorry about that, thanks for the help though.
