i have been enjoying tfc for the last week or so, but now i have a problem that i can't figure out. tfc starts up fine, but when i click on a game to join, i get the console screen that says "starting network"......and then it freezes. its very frustrating. i dont think its a problem with my computer, as it is only a couple months old. i reinstalled half life, but i get the same result. please help!

I think it happens when WON is down, I'm having that exact same problem right now.

Also, you're not actually freezing. The system is trying to contact WON to verify your ID.

If you wait, and it could be as long as 2 minutes, you will time out and go back to the server list.

Also, Dahak provided a good tip:

update the woncomm.lst file in your Valve folder...

replace the "West" server statement, under 'AUTH' to read:
198.74.33.62:7002

WON isn't actually down...the DNS server that they operate through is. Using the IP address will get around the problem.
