Joining an online server

[nurb]

Sometimes I try to join a server and it says connected but then it stays in that window and doesnt go into the track.  i can cancel but it wont go to the track.

It can take a while to connect to the server (over a minute in some cases)

Most common cause of this is possibly your windows security or 3rd party firewall waiting for you to tell it that is OK to connect.  Maybe a window has opened behind the GpB window or something? Alt-Tab to have a look.

Also make sure in the game settings you have the bandwidth/internet setting to maximum (2?)
