[BUG] Freeze on Lan game starting

Hey There.

I've got a real inconvenient problem : Each time I start a game (The "Hosting" part works properly, and the map loading too), after the "VS" screen, I've got an aerial view of the battlefield, the water is moving, as well as the mist one the battlefield lanes, the game HUD is visible, and the music is playing.

But this only lasts a few seconds, then the screen freezes, and ... nothing happens, except the music which is still normally playing.

I've got no Fatal Error warning when alt + tabbing to Windows, but the task manager shows that the game gives "no response"

 

Here's my specs :

- GeForce 8600M GS (laptop hardware, Acer Aspire 7520).

- Amd Thurion TL-60 x2 (2Ghz x2).

- 2Go RAM DDR2.

- Vista Family Edition Premium, 32bits + SP1, French.

 

Well, I'll hope this will help, if you got any problem understanding what i've describe, just ask, my frenchy english can be very strange sometimes >_<

I think that there's definitely a bug with french vista that causes that, so that's pretty likely the cause. It seems that it's trying to make the replays folder in the wrong place.

Right, I wasn't paying attention. Sorry. I guess it's a symptom of French windows, because I haven't heard of it anywhere else and it seems to be a problem making the right directories in the right places.

Yep, I had the directories problem, that I fixed by creating myself the replay directory.

French + Vista =  D:
