Like the title says, the game simply hangs 3-5 seconds after everyone selects his hero and "loads". It also almost completely hangs the machine too, and for some reason it randomly turns my monitor off and on if I alt-tab or go into Task Manager.
I've had this happen both in Practice games and TMM matches. So far, I've tried deleting all mods, reinstalling the game, updating whatever I could find, but without any success.
Can anyone help me out?
Try dis-/enabling Exclusive Mode.
