i never used to have this problem but now when im loading at the last stage where it says verifying client... blah blah blah it holds up for about a minute. every else loads fine but i was never stalled at this point, it was ussualy the fastest part. i also get a long lag spike for a bout 3 minutes, about acouple minutes of playing than it clears up. just curious as to see if anyone else has/had these problems and how to address them, thx
That is where I'm waiting the longest for the map to load too.

Yeah m e too, WTF
When I was running 1 Gig of RAM it would take FOREVER to verify.
Went up to 3 gigs & now maps load VERY fast, usually I'm one of the first people in a game.

Supposedly...
When it is displaying "verifying client data" the game or punkbuster is checking over your localisation files and the like to check for errors and modifications. Therefore, the speed this occurs at is limited by the speed of your harddrive. For me, more than half the time waiting to join a game is spent waiting for client data to be verified.
Also, are you sure they're ping spikes? I have a problem where everytime I load a new map the game super-glitches for a few minutes, but this is a harddrive thing.

ya its kinda weird, my ping doesnt spike but its just like my comp is trying to load something. u saying that punkbuster is checking for mods i think thats what the spike is. probably the pb scan it does in game
I'm on 1 gig of ram so verifying takes about 20 - 45 seconds for me.
