Connection to Steam lost

H@zard

I just installed NS on my new computer and whenever I join a server I can play for 1 or 2 minutes before I get booted to the menu and the message says "Your connection to Steam has been lost". This only happens on NS, no other Steam games, so I'm wondering if it's my internet, or if there's some kind of patch I need.

Also I'm running on Vista, if that means anything.

Ignore corps, he is less then useless.

What other Steam games have you tried this with? (any other HL1 based games?)

Unfortunately there isn't much we can do to help, I would really suggest poking around over at Steampowered.com as this still sounds like a Steam problem, not NS.

The standards are:
Delete clientregistry.blob
uninstall/reinstall NS/Steam
Update your NIC's drivers
Are you on a wireless network?

Now that you mention it, I haven't played any other HL1 based games recently. I'll try that out.

I'll check out the forums and try your suggestions, thanks for the help.
