Can someone fix the server?

[Archontechnica]

Apparently there was an optimization that was just pushed down that has now killed access to the server. Message: "Game files do not match the server files"
Can someone please fix the issue, please?

[ZERO]

You got to wait for the map to change when this occurs also complain to the devs about how the workshop and this sort of error sucks so that maybe it will get fixed :wtg:

[ZERO]

But also there is now an update to ns2 and the servers have been updated, hopefully CO still works

[Archontechnica]

It is happening to me again.
This game has turned to s&^% since this latest update. I keep getting the "your game files dont match the servers, there may be a new update" everytime I try to play on the combat server. I am for some reason able to play on the other servers. I've tried reloading the game several times as well as validating files.
No idea what is going on or what to do.
Others dont seem to be having this issue for some reason.

[SCRIBBLE]

The server probably needs to be updated, give it some time. Thank you for the heads up.

No this is the fucking workshop going down on a map change. I keep telling UWE about this and a simple fix you can see in my UWE thread in the server section of their forums called solution to workshop problem. Please comment in there as to how this is effecting players b/c currently they basically have not plans to implement what could be a simple fix for redundancy to prevent a server from kicking all the players and getting stuck like this.

[Archontechnica]

Ok, there seem to be a number of people on the server now but I am still getting the same error. What am I doing wrong? Anyone?

[Archontechnica]

Can someone please help me? I am paying for a reserved slot for a server I cant play on.

Are you able to connect to the pub server? Does the issue only occur on the Combat server?

[ZERO]

Open NS2 and try to connect and then after getting the error close ns2 and go to:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2
Then post here the contents of
log.txt either as an attachment or within the "code" brackets like I have done in this post.

This only occurs on the combat servers. I even tried one of the other combat servers without any luck.

Ok here is what I can recommend then you need to unsubscribe to all workshop mods and then uninstall ns2 and then reinstall. Then connect to the server and it should work fine. It also might after you unsubscribe and manually uninstall all workshop mods from you system.

the issue appears to be caused by some file corruption in the extra entities mod that combat uses. Your local copy appears to have some file corruption that is causing the issue. :wtg:

[Archontechnica]

I got rid of workshop mods sometime ago as it never seemed to work with the combat server.
I went back in to make sure I'm not subscribed to any and that ever folder was empty.
I have deleted and re-installed the game at least 4 times and I still get the same error.
I am at a loss.

[Archontechnica]

Finally got it to work. I had to go in and manually delete my workshop folder and options file entirely.
Thanks for the help.

[ZERO]

yea when i said delete I meant doing just that physically removing all associated files from the system. :wtg:
