I recently reformatted and reinsatlled everything, but in the process lost my Half-Life CD, but I own C-S Retail and installed N-S on that (using the "dummy hl.exe"), and this error keeps poping up.
Any other suggestions?
THX
My direct X is updated..., but hell I will try it again anyway.

do you guys still have your file you downloaded to install?
I noticed it is named "ns_v1_win32_dedicated_server.zip"
I went to the site and found out that you cannot play NS with these.. this is for dedicated servers.. so go to <a href='http://www.natural-selection.org/ns_home.html' target='_blank'>http://www.natural-selection.org/ns_home.html</a> and download the file named ns_install_v1.exe
dont we feel dumb?
Problem:</b>
when going to join a game or to the console the console does not load and the message "can not loug client.dll" appears, NS then closes.
<b>solution:</b>
You most likely downloaded the dedicated server and not the actual game. The server version will not allow you to play NS. just run a server.
to fix this go to <a href='http://natural-selection.org/ns_home.html' target='_blank'>http://natural-selection.org/ns_home.html</a> and download the game.. it will save as an exe, not a zip..
you are looking for ns_install_v1.exe (the version will change in time of course) , not "ns_v1_linux_dedicated_server.tar.gz" or ns_v1_w32_dedicated_server.zip
I posted it on the common problems thing as well
Some of us do actually watch what we are downloading <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> I have the same problem with the client.dll
I have the following config.
I run CS retail from D:\Counter-Strike
I installed Half Life to D:\Half-Life
I downloaded ns_install_v1.exe and installed it.
My CS and and HL (and therefor any mods running off HL) are completely seperate from each other, ie they dont share any files, dll's ect...
I still get this error. Now, the question is this. Which dll is being called for ? is it the:
half-life\ns\cl_dll\client.dll or is it the
half-life\valve\cl_dll\client.dll ?
I also have Win98 with Direct X 8.1 and latest GFX drivers. I personally think, although I could be wrong.. that it has to do with the newest server patch ?? Or was this problem there previous to the server patch ?
I shall keep fiddling, if I find a solution, you guys will be the first to know <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Ciao

I tried connecting to another server,,,and it worked....
What can I say,,, The problem appears to be simply that there are varying versions of client.dll in circulation !!
Ciao
copied NS over after 'installing' all the steam related mods.. now when I
launch NS and either try to join a game or pull down the console I get
this can't find client.dll error - despite the fact that the dll does exist
in the path indicated.. it's about 2MB.. 2,064,384 to be exact..
What.. to do?
I don't think their 1.0 problem is in anyway linked to your 2.0 problem
Yes, using the search option is always reccomended, but when the other topic is old enough to be from another version of NS, just don't bother responding to it. If it doesn't tell you what you need to know, either search again for newer info or start a thread about your problem and ask for possible solutions
