Failing consistency checks

Mattk50

Im not sure what the deal with this is, i joined a protected server, played a few rounds, left, and now im unable to rejoin it or any other protected servers 20 minutes later. So far i've tried restarting the game, steam, and validating NS2's cache twice but nothings worked.

Is there anything else i can try?

Try either disabling and/or unsubscribing to any mods. If that doesn't work, then delete your workshop folder too.

Where can i find the workshop folder? Been looking around and i dont see it in the ns2 folder under steam.

start -> run -> %appdata% Then look for Natural Selection 2 and Workshop folders

I have this same issue. I cannot join ANY NS2Stats server without deleting the entire contents of /Workshop. I get consistency errors every time. I can then re-enter the game and the mods (mod: One crosshair mod. Haven't tried with multiple) and it works fine. If I close it, it will fail again until I delete the contents of /Workshop. Epic Epic EPIC fail. I have only the single crosshair mod subscribed, and which mod I have subbed doesn't seem to matter. This is really frustrating, but sounds more like an ns2stats problem than anything.

I get the same lua consistency check failure messages in console.

I just tried it, and the same happens to me. I have no mods other than the ones autodownloaded by said server, like ns2stats.

Hopefully ns2stats or unknownworlds or wherever the problem lies can go ahead fix this soon for us.

deleting Workshop folder worked for me, but this needs to be looked at, especially if Mods are not allowing people to join servers and Mods are a selling point for the game....

Hmmm, deleting the workshop should work. Which servers are you having this problem? They might have something messed up on their end.

one our members had the issue.
exactly the same.

remove all mods you have have supscripted too.
then delete the workshop folder in %appdata%.

join the game and try to join a server.
If its still not working, try to add and download a mod from the workshop again.

Must always unsubscribe, then delete the folder to fully clear it.
Simply deactivating it or simply deleting it works for very few issues.
Should be noted this is an issue with steam work shop. They are still growing the beautiful infrastructure.

I've never had an issue joining a server, but anytime a server downloads a mod I don't want, I go to the workshop folder and manually delete only that mod, you can generally tell what each mod is by looking inside them. Also as for maps, I just place them into my actual ns2 folder so they don't have to be in the mod menu

Interesting issue, I also wish we had a download filter, so we could join servers and not download anything. Nothing against mods, but I don't want "ns2stats" or "DAK admin kit" especially if that's just a server side plugin, why would I need it on my client
