OK, I've been trying to play some NS today and this is an error I get every 30 minutes or so.
Funny thing is, it is happening to everyone on all servers. (Specifically on Gorge's Hideout and G4B2S). It's basically like getting steamed (Meaning doesn't always kick everyone at once, but most of the of the people).

This is the full error message:

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->
This Steam account does not own this game.
Please login to the correct Steam account.
<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

Is it NS related or what? Does anyone have a solution?

    #Steam "This Steam account does not own this game" errors -- It's a problem with the Steam servers (nothing on your end) and is being worked on by Valve. Please be patient and don't be emo. :)

    Actually, It did it once to me, but I've seen other players just get owned by this. Kinda sux remaining the only one in the server.

    Theory: What if valve is trying to add NS to games list, maybe they are still working on it and for some unkown reason steam has gone haywire trying to figure out why people are playing NS, when it's not on the games list yet. Dunno. Just a though <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    The kick is in reference to not owning half-life itself. The mods run from hl.exe.

    Its about time they fixed the "Game version does not match" kick though.

    the Game version does not match does only show if you have the server patch install

    It's happening with versions that I do not have access to any server files at all.

    I assume you mean the NS server patches of 3.1.1 and newer. Which is assumed because aside from half-life, I only have ns and nsp installed on steam.

    Beyond that, you've completely lost me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
