If your NS2 isn't locking up then it's not the same problem, at least not the same as mine. My loading screen completely locks and the game stops responding. I have to bring up task manager to close NS2.
I also have this problem. But sometimes I get the "client and server version differ" (on all-inn server at least). I dont have any problem joining servers that dont run mods.

A small rumor is that a fix will be in the next patch.
ok at least for my version i found a work around.... i got stuck at the downloading mods again, disconnected by console and directly reconnected didnt work so far i tought, disconnected again looked in the mod section he was trying to download 2 new mods but he couldnt. i deactiveted them reconnected and bam i was in the game... WIERD
but now i have a new problem everytime after or while spawning ns crashes.... error reports are send tough
Edit:
thats the error message in the log: Error: Error in snapshot data
I really hope a fix is coming in 222 because this is a really big problem.
I also run a core 2, I subscribed to 2 mods (NS2c and a map), discovered that the game would freeze when trying to download mods on the loading screen, so I then proceeded to deactivate the mods in game, unsubscribed through steam, and deleted the mod content in my appdata folder.
Now whenever I go to join a server, no matter the server, I always get stuck on "downloading mods".
I'm a bit worried that the devs may not realize the gravity of this problem because in the last developer livestream they seemed quite happy with the mod system as it is.
I noted several fixes for mod related issues including 2 that looked like they were the culprit to our issue in the change log. I have not joined a modded server yet as there were none online last i checked so soon after the update but i am hopeful =)
I just tried to make my own local server and still can't in this new build. Not sure if it is a coincidence as it relates to joining modded servers, but in the previous build I was unable to do either so I don't have my hopes up this is fixed yet.

I get the same problem as before when creating a local server. It is loading the map and after finishing it the loading screen freezes. Don't mind the RT location warnings, this map is still wip.

Joining an HG-server was working. But it was empty and I couldn't test it for the checkerboard texture bug. I will post it as well, but it seems to be the same then above. Strange:

Good luck hunting the bugs, hang in there Max. Btw, does the checkerboard texture bug got solved? I don't know if it is related. But ever since build 216, I have a lot of problems :( Not good if you want to publish a 2nd map before 1.0 goes live.
Same problem here, when starting local server. First I've joined online vanilla server with Veil to check if atleast online game still works. Then I've started local server with custom map, it freezed. I have repeated starting local with different maps and got lock-ups all the time.

Note that that game locks-up loading vanila maps also. So the errors on last 3 lines should not be related to the problem.
Could be the problem theoretically related to some kind of consistency check on map files? That in online mode is OK because is done by dedicated server, but in local server is bugged?
Based on the latest reports, this doesn't sound like it's caused by the mods. There was a problem in 221, but -- fingers crossed -- that appears to be fixed.
If you are getting lock ups when starting a local server, can you go into %appdata%\Natural Selection 2\ConsistencyConfig.json and replace the contents with this:

It is still locking up in 223. So I changed the .json file, but it still freezes after map loading. Anyways, it seems to load the map faster. That is the log with the changed file:

I just was able to join dragons test server running ns2 classic mod just fine in build 223. I'm still unable to make a local server however, but really happy I can join modded servers now, thanks!
What about creating a local server? Can you do that without problems, because my NS2 still freezes after finishing map load in 224. ByeBye testing maps before 1.0............................................................................. .....................................!

if he connects hes attemping to download mods that wether do not exist anymore or are corrupted, so hes ist stuck in a loop cuz
he can not finish that task, this explains why the game not "freezes" (the loading wheel keeps spinning and console keeps working)
so i hope you can fix it now

If your NS2 isn't locking up then it's not the same problem, at least not the same as mine. My loading screen completely locks and the game stops responding. I have to bring up task manager to close NS2.
Would love to hear something from the dev team about this and if they have tracked down a fix or not.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
A small rumor is that a fix will be in the next patch.
This need to be solved - I cant play cause of that error :(
but now i have a new problem everytime after or while spawning ns crashes.... error reports are send tough
Edit:
thats the error message in the log:
Error: Error in snapshot data
I also run a core 2, I subscribed to 2 mods (NS2c and a map), discovered that the game would freeze when trying to download mods on the loading screen, so I then proceeded to deactivate the mods in game, unsubscribed through steam, and deleted the mod content in my appdata folder.
Now whenever I go to join a server, no matter the server, I always get stuck on "downloading mods".
I'm a bit worried that the devs may not realize the gravity of this problem because in the last developer livestream they seemed quite happy with the mod system as it is.
I just tried to make my own local server and still can't in this new build. Not sure if it is a coincidence as it relates to joining modded servers, but in the previous build I was unable to do either so I don't have my hopes up this is fixed yet.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
What happens when you try? Can you post your log.txt file? (found in %appdata%/Natural Selection 2)

Joining an HG-server was working. But it was empty and I couldn't test it for the checkerboard texture bug. I will post it as well, but it seems to be the same then above. Strange:

Good luck hunting the bugs, hang in there Max.
Btw, does the checkerboard texture bug got solved? I don't know if it is related. But ever since build 216, I have a lot of problems :( Not good if you want to publish a 2nd map before 1.0 goes live.

Note that that game locks-up loading vanila maps also. So the errors on last 3 lines should not be related to the problem.
Could be the problem theoretically related to some kind of consistency check on map files? That in online mode is OK because is done by dedicated server, but in local server is bugged?
If you are getting lock ups when starting a local server, can you go into %appdata%\Natural Selection 2\ConsistencyConfig.json and replace the contents with this:
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->{

}<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

It is still locking up in 223. So I changed the .json file, but it still freezes after map loading. Anyways, it seems to load the map faster. That is the log with the changed file:

Just tried that and still no luck. Game seemed to freeze almost immediately tho when loading, the on screen message was stuck on starting server but here is what the log shows.

I just was able to join dragons test server running ns2 classic mod just fine in build 223. I'm still unable to make a local server however, but really happy I can join modded servers now, thanks!
