Multiplayer Not Loading

[thecoolsideofthepillow 22]

I've sometimes gotten this problem on 1 or 2 servers, but today it's doing it for all of them, every single time.

I try to connect to a server and it either never even begins to load, or loads a little bit then completely stops even accessing the harddrive.

It isn't locking up the entire game; I can still hit escape and go back to the server browser. It just refuses to fully load and connect to the server.

I've restarted the game, steam, and my computer several times which hasn't helped. I've verified the cache and everything; nothing.

I have a similar problem. My multiplayer will not start. I cant access the lobby.

I press multiplayer and then it just crashes...freezes.

I have launch options enabled, verified integrity, and even reinstalled the game and still get same problem.

Other guys have the same problem :

Got any apps running like Fraps, BandiCam, or SweetFX?

Are you running anti-virus software?

Keep us posted..., there must be a solution.

Thanks for the link.

I have unsubscribed from all workshop content. Since then, I have done multiple game and computer restarts, though it still freezes when I click multiplayer.

So I will try disabling antivirus software and see how that goes. Maybe add an exception into the software?

For testing, best to uninstall the AV completely --Dwarden suggested this for the AVG software.

Got it to work. Disabled antivirus and firewall. Now will try adding an exception into the firewall.

I have BitDefender btw.
