can't connect

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

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.

LITERALLY, nothing has changed. at least, that i know of. it's possible drexel changed something in their internet...but i doubt it.

i'll try deleteing cstrike...tomorrow. i'll need to back up my materials/models/sounds etc... folders to keep my skins intact

deleteing cstrike did nothing, just fucked up all my skins.
