<div class="IPBDescription">client.dll problem!</div> i have had NS 2.0 for a while now, had fun no-probs then all of a sudden today i cant play at all! When i get to the loading screen / console i get this error "Cannot load client.dll library" or something simlilar to that. I have re-installed NS (2 times now), and i am trying to refrain from having to re-install all of HL. All my other HL modifications work as i have tested them all out. Just NS, and i need a fix asap! if anyone can help its greatly appreciated. Also that valve.rc thing doesnt work as i have tried it, and the error message still keeps appearing. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

welll duh, and still NS is not working because of this client.dll library issue any help pls!!!!
I guess uninstall, delete registry, install, d/l patch (not from update tool), play.
delete your HL directory before reinstalling
2. Format. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
3. Yell at aliens, not NS.
Are you uninstalling or just installing over it?
If you did, I don't know how to help you. Try installing cs 1.5 again. And then NS
ok here's what i have done ...
> Uninstalled all HL and its components (making sure i have a backup of the original one) done this 2 times.
> New installation HL = 920kb (so not virus)
> Full system virus check with up-to-date virus system!
doing now ...
> Checking the cs 1.5 thing i.e. re-installing that now!

i have the same problem...
my client.dll couldn't be loaded...
i tryed to copy the folder too... didnt work!
but i replaced the ns client.dll with the cs client.dll...
this works but with without sound- so kick it!
could u help me ?
i tried to install
i tried to copy from friend
i re-installed half-life too
Where does your NS shortcut point? I need all target, start dir, and parameter info, please.
target: C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\hl.exe -game ns -noipx -nointro -console -numericping
start in: C:\Sierra\Half-life
I couldn't find the parameters, I'm not very tech savvy, my apologies.
It should be noted that I connect to servers using Gamespy... could this problem be related? Additionally, I just noted today that after it says I have this problem, it somehow switches to HL 1.0.0.5, even though I have 1.1.1.0 installed. Very peculiar.
I'll reinstall again, but this is the 3rd time it has reverted.
Clicking on the Counterstrike tab under "your games" allows you to play Counterstrike, half-life, TFC, etc., but you can only load NS under Half-life.
Still getting the CD key thing.
