Crossfire Freezes at Connecting to Channel/Server/Game Room Please Wait

I've had this problem for about a two weeks. After i login, the game will freeze at either the server connecting screen, channel connecting screen, or the game room connecting screen. If i do get into a game, i can play it normally, but people who join the game after me, i can only see their rank and ping and not their name, and it doesn't show them joining the game in the left-bottom corner of the screen. After the game is over, the score screen doesn't have the scores on it the and when i join the room lobby, it only has the people who were in the room when i joined the game. Then none of the buttons on the screen work, as in, when i press the back to channel button, black market, storage, or item shop, the screen looks like its loading but it never goes into the black market or item shop, etc.

About a week ago i downloaded Russian CF, and i had the same problem on that version that i do on NA/UK CF. This problem doesn't happen on Karma Online, or M.A.T Online.

This problem is really annoying and i can't play CF this way. Please, if anyone has information, or a solution i would appreciate it very much, and so would a lot of other players who love CF and are having this problem.
