Whenever I click 'mission' to view the list of maps in the main menu, INF freezes, and the only way i can get out of it is through task manager. I have tried a complete reinstall, and that didn't fix it. Any ideas?

How many maps do you have installed? INF has to load all the maps into the Missions menu so if you have a ridiculous number than maybe it is holding up there.
I have a ton of maps, but i always did, and it always took about 10 seconds to load all of them. I'm saying it stays frozen 10 minutes later.

But i did notice that if i got rid of all non essential u, utx, unr, ini, and int files, it worked fine, except there were NO maps, not even the default ones that i had left behind.

I think i'll try a reinstall in a different folder, since i've got lots of free time.

When those files are in my system directory, the freezing occurs.

I'd just delete that .int file unless you absolutely crave and need it to play offline. :p I remember a few people (myself included, I think ... it was a while ago) having this problem with .int files in 2.86 and simply deleting them fixes it (sometimes a completely normal .int file will still cause the freeze).

Yeah, i deleted it, i really didn't care about it, and i'm sure DBD TDM will give it back to me.
