Invalid Data when joining a game

When connecting to multiple servers, I'm getting "Invalid Data" and getting kicked back to the main screen. I restarted Steam, verified integrity of game cache, uninstalled the game and reinstalled from scratch. I still get the error.

I have no mods installed and can launch the game in explore mode without issue. I was able to play the game last night.

Any ideas?

I did a search for similar issues, but didn't find anything.

    You should be able to join community servers. For some reason the official ones have this problem, but they are working on it :)

    Probably means those servers have not been updated. Chill out for a bit as the server operators restart the servers to get them patched :)

    This problem should be fixed across all regions. Still working on getting US West back on line as of this post.

    Believe it or not, the problem was caused by a single curly bracket ( { ) being missed in a server config file. MFW: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
