Problems connecting..to anything


(duke'ku) #1

Lately I’ve had trouble connecting to any server in ET - even though I can ping the same servers out of the game with no trouble at the same time. Sometimes, I’ll be able to connect, but I’ll get an error (such as CONFIGSTRINGS > MAX_CONFIGSTRINGS or whatever that particular one happens to be,) and upon trying to reconnect I’ll be greeted by a lovely “awaiting connection…” screen. I can connect fine to any other game server that isn’t ET, or, as I stated earlier, I can ping each server that I’m trying to connect to in ET. I’m completely at a loss as to what I should do now, and as you can imagine this is becoming quite frustrating. :banghead:

If anyone has had a similar problem or has any idea what’s happening, I’d appreciate any input.

Try putting some of your custom pk3’s into a separate folder other than etmain, you may have too many of them. (Bring them out only when you need them, I’m not sure if the campaign pk3’s affect this though, so it may not only be the map pk3’s)

This is from a fresh reinstall, no extra PK3s.
