can't connect

[acolyte_to_jippity]

So, suddenly i can't connect to pub or gg.

i go into my fav. list, and i'll only have 2 of the 4 ibis servers in it, i hit 'refresh' and sometimes they'll chane which are displayed, sometimes they'll just disappear completely. i right-click on one and examine it's info and it will say server not responding. refreshing that screen fixes it for zm and wcs, but pub and gg will remain blank. i can then join zm or wcs, but pub and gg will eventually refuse the connection because of 4 retries.

wtf?

They are online so it is either valve or your steam or your internet or valve.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

1. Check your valve status...
2. do you have the proper ports open? (change routers recently?)
3. restart compy in safe mode and do a spyware and maleware scan
4. uninstall

[acolyte_to_jippity]

"valve status"?

no changes to routers.

i'll try the malware scan

Valve status as in vac banned in good standing ect...

not saying your "vac banned" that is.

if the scans dont help then let me know.

also is there any errors that pop up? or that you see in console when trying to join.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

no, it's just "connection failed after 4 retries"

console just has:
connecting to <ip address here>...
connecting to <ip address here>...
connecting to <ip address here>...
connecting to <ip address here>...
connection abborted after 4 retries


or something like that

Have you tried cl_allowdownload commands?
cl_allowupload
or
cl_downloadfilter

?? These being used if its permitted that is.

also you might want to check your internet restrictions. Firewall up? Router acting screwy?

Do a full analysis of your problem and write it here, then im sure zero or another who knows more then i do can help indefinitely.



edit: BUT before you even concern yourself with ANY of this... Try just Deleting your entire cstrike folder, restart steam, then open CSS again.
