"reliable Channel Overflow"

SaltzBad

Checked the bug database, nothing under that name, so I'm guessing I'll give it a try.

For the last 2 weeks, 2 out of 3 games have ended with my in-game character not being sent to the readyroom, or him being sent to the readyroom, yet all communication with the server is seemingly choppy - voicecomm will have rythmic half-second breaks, movements will have the exact same rythm as does any other form of updating. Most of the time, the server will kick me with a "reliable channel overflow" message.

Rarely, it is possible to join a game in that state. In that case my team shows up as spectator (haven't been able to get a reply on wether it does to others as well, as attempts to recreate the bug intentionally with a few friends have failed), I have no crosshair but gunfire registers (albeit.. oddly). I seem to take damage as well.

Well, no idea if this is NS specific. Anyone else able to reproduce this?

Yeah this happened to me once or twice. I could kill people all I wanted but no chat/death messages were showing up, including my own.

EDIT - Forgot to mention I got kicked after a while with the same error message.

I have had this message but only when I join a server (and it is always the same server) and I would retry and then get on. Never had in-game though. Have you tried different servers? Have you tried the suggestion by Aka'lamanaia (did a google and this was suggested at another site)? What is your connection?

Also this doesn't seam to be NS or even Steam specific.
