Getting Disconnected

<div class="IPBDescription">need help</div> Whenever I try and join a server, a few seconds later I get disconnected. I have been playing natural selection for a year and I have never had this problem. I am not connecting to CD servers. Any answers would help.

    What error do you get in the console?

    Happened to me when I upgraded my router's firmware. We need more information, as Rue mentioned, about the error in the console. When you get disconnected, press your ` to bring out the console and screenshot/copy the error and post on here.

    Here is what it says in my console:

    AT first it lists this stuff:

    Last 32 messages parsed.
    1838 0023 svc_deltapacketentities
    1838 0050 svc_spawnstaticsound
    1842 0008 Particles
    1842 0153 svc_time
    1842 0158 svc_clientdata
    1842 0168 svc_deltapacketentities
    1845 0008 svc_time
    1845 0013 svc_clientdata
    1845 0028 svc_deltapacketentities
    1849 0008 svc_time
    1849 0013 svc_clientdata
    1849 0028 svc_deltapacketentities
    1853 0008 ScoreInfo
    1853 0022 svc_time
    1853 0027 svc_clientdata
    1853 0042 svc_deltapacketentities
    1857 0008 svc_time
    1857 0013 svc_clientdata
    1857 0028 svc_deltapacketentities
    1860 0008 svc_time


    And at the end it says

    <b>BAD: 35:svc_bad
    Host_Error: CL_ParseServerMessage: Illegible server message - svc_ba</b>

    If anyone knows how to fix this it would realy help

    Seems like the issue boils down to crappy routers. You don't have one of those **** little dlink firewall/cablemodem routers do you? If so upgrade the firmware asap.
