Can't connect to server

Mulukero

<div class="IPBDescription">File not found</div>Hi.

I tried looking for solutions to my problem from this forum, but didn't find any that would work so here I go.

I had a short pause from playing NS2 and I tried yesterday but it didn't happen. The game opens up fine but when I try to connect to a server, it freezes at "initializing game". Then it pops back to the main menu and an error report reads "File not found".

Here's my log:

Error: Attempted to load remote options from a file that does not exist.



I have Verified integrity of game cache, deleted the Workshop file from appdata and verified again. Didn't work.
I have uninstalled the whole Natural Selection 2 folder from appdata and verified the game cache. Nope.
Reinstalled the game. Nope.
I don't know if it matters but I haven't subscribed to Steam Workshop and I haven't downloaded any mods (at least on purpose).
And someone probably suggests I run the game as an administrator, did that and didn't work.

The server I tried to join was one of UWE official unmodded servers with original maps. What the hell is that NS2 Kleos bull######?

Help me guys, im desperate.

Have you tried disabling the Steam Cloud? That is the only thing I can think of unless NS2 Kleos has some script that is trying to fetch some remote options?

The problem was fixed in the new build! I don't know what the hell happened but I really don't care as long as it's working!

Wohoo!

Oh I take it your username probably had non alpha-numeric UNICODE characters then which was fixed.
