    CS Source problem

    In the last week or so I havn't been able to connect to any servers, it just sticks on the 2 bars on the loading screen..

    It used to work fine before and I havn't changed anything (that I can think of) that was different than before.

    Only thing I can think of is it may be the wireless connection, but as I said before it worked fine using it....


    Thanks

    Hi Adrian.

    Are you connected to a router that you used before the wireless? I know that some routers can be a little awkward to set-up to work straight away and may need to be configured a little. I am guessing that you can connect to steam, so this shouldn't be the problem.

    Are there any things, regardless of how insignificant they may seem, that you have changed recently?

    Take care.

    Matt.

    P.S Try adding 'cs1.zonegames.co.uk:27015' and 'cs2.zonegames.co.uk:27025' to your server favourites, then try to connect to them and see if you get the same problem. Please let me know how you get on.

    LOL @ server plug.

    *Decides to have a go also and enters sales mode*

    Like CS:S?
    Like HEXUS?

    Then compliment the two by taking advantage of the HEXUS CS:S server! Yes, that's right, for a limited time only, you too can take advantage of this fantastic offer! Simpley enter the server shown below, and play for as long as you want entirley for FREE!!!

    212.69.36.85:27016

    Also chck out the IRC channel #HEXUS.cs on quakenet.

    ************************
    AHEM.

    Anyway, I'm guessing you can access all other internet stuff OK since you haven't said anything. Therefore it must be something wrong with steam. There's a file somewhere, and if you delete it, it checks your steam directory for any 'broken' files or something, and re-downloads them if need be (i think).

    If I find the files, I'll tell you .

    EDIT - file is: C:\Program Files\Steam\ClientRegistry.blob

    1. Close steam
    2. Delete file
    3. Open steam, and file should re-download.

    Maybe make a copy of the file somewhere else before trying this though, just incase

    Hi. I really can't think of anything that I have changed recently, and it is the same router as before, no change. And before I used wireless I was using the same router too.

    And yes, I can connect to Steam fine.

    Yes, all other internet app's work fine. I've already tried checking the cache and such, but that didn't help - I've already tried deleting ClientRegistry.blob too (usually fixes things doing that), but still doesn't work.


    Very confusing!

    Plug not intentional (didn't think of that), but I know they go 24/7 and work well By the way, they are PCZONE servers...

    I have to say that I have run out of ideas, though I just had a thought - can you start your own hosted/server game? Sounds odd, but anythings worth a try at this stage.

    Take care.

    Matt.

    Hi,
    I havn't tried. But I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I'd have to forward the port and install the dedicated server files..

    I guess I'll try connecting the wired ethernet connection later quickly to see if it is the wireless.

    Hehe - no problem. Not many people know about our new server right now, so I'm plugging it at every opportunity tbh .

    If they wired connection doesn't work, then the only other thing I can suggest is to backup your maps folders, then reinstall CS.

    Does it do this on any other steam games? DOD/HL: DM etc?

    I have a simliar problem to this one.

    It's to do with refreshing the server list, an the router physically not being able to handle the reuqests and packets being sent, so it stops sending the packets needed for CS:S.

    If you wait about 2-3 minutes, you'll be able to join games once again, but then the maps may have changed etc... not much i've been able to do about it I've tried port forwarding and stuff, and nothing has helped.

    This is with a Netgear router btw.

    That got me thinking then.. because I think I installed ZoneAlarm around the time it started going dodgy, but it did work for a while whilst using it so yeah........ oh, and I just disabled it... still doesn't work.

    I'm using Plus.net, I doubt that's the problem? Been using them for months now and had no problem with anything...


    I tried using a wired connection about an hour ago and for some reason it connects at 400mps? and it can't get a network address or anything...... I think the cable is damaged as when I took it out to replace it with the wireless the cable was torn a bit (the wires inside weren't though - just the outside case..).


    Any other ideas?

    Adrian.

    Just been doing a bit of searching around, and found this - http://support.steampowered.com/cgi-...wmcF9wYWdlPTE*

    Not sure how much help it will be, but it's worth a try anyway...

    Lots of suggestions there but unfortunatly nothing seemed to work .

    I'm going to try removing everything (including HL2) and then install it again and see if that works...

    Don't forget to keep your save games and maps etc...

    Please let us know how you get on.

    Take care.
