files do not match 9/10 times when server change map

Airwolf_swe

Ever since the dropship update came out.

Every time the server change map it takes forever to load again and then I get the files do not match try to verify manually.

Ive already tried:
*manually reverified local cache files
*delete workshop folder in C userdata,
*delete lua in ns2
*delete lua in core,
*disable all mods,
*try precache more on and off
*turn off steam cloud and then turn on
*update visual c++ redistrubated.

Its like only 1 out of 10servers that I can actually play the second map without getting the files do match error. And its all popular servers. So I doubt they all didnt update the server. And if I close ns2 and return to the same server it let me in again. Running WinXP 32bit.



I dont want to complain, but Ive noticed. With EVERY single NS2 update some minor problem is fixed, but then a huge new problem occurs . The player experience is frustrating when this happens.

Can you go to your ns2 folder and run techsupport.exe
\Steam\SteamApps\common\Natural Selection 2\
That will help greatly in diagnosing the problem.
My thinkng: You may have unsubscribed to a mod before disabling it ingame. thus the game thinks you are still subscribed to it. thus is still running it.
'tis just a wild guess though.

Where do I send this tech_support zip file?

Generally it does seems like the game wont crash as often on mapchange when the server has almost none mods installed. Or im just thinking that now that you mentioned it. On some server it does seems like I can play several maps and nothing crash.

I even tried delete the whole natural selection 2 map and then reverify local cache, still the same problem.



This is what shows up in log.txt from server mapchange and then files does not match bla bla.

I have the same annoying error since 263. The first time I try to join a server it stops loading with a "can't establish connection to the server" error message. The 2nd time works fine most of the time. Then if the map changes I get stuck in the loading process if it reaches the male or seldom the female model. Both bugs are new to me and I play sine 150. It makes it hard to get on and stay at a favorite server. I have no mods activated and all files are validated.

I hope this will be fixed asap. You might know it already, but I'm sick of new builds that get on my nerves. I almost forgot about all the trouble I had because there were no upgrades lately. Just tell me you know the reason and you will hotfix it. thx

since build 263 , i have the same problem
play one map fine >>> but loading 2nd map or server change map
>>> its say male or female model.dll failed consitency checking and kick me out main menu

Before Dropship , i play build 260,261,262 fine even with mods Custom Crossair or Gore cute eyes , playing on Offical UWE server dont have this problem and load map faster )

Same for me, i tried everything like AirWolf_swe, my hard drive go crazy and makes a strange sound when I can't load the server,
Sometime, i got a "timeout" on map change. [win7 64bits]

this error make me have to quit NS2 and re-launch it on Steam
Everytime since build 263 , when i play one map 100% normal
>> load second map its disconnect to main menu and say "Your file dont match server"
Before this Dropship i can play normal with mods , its fun and created by comunity like Faded. ..vvv

Now server with fun mods >> meet the Error everytime Ns2 Update =''=

Just attach it to your forum post (see the text "Attach a file") below the postbox.

P.S. For 263, UW said they tweaked the validation process to be more efficient. This may have broken some checks.

I think there is no admin or mod read this ? Hello ? )

Cuz NS2WC 2014 i blame , UWE please have some word to insure with players that next build 264 will fix this "Your game file not match.... or an update just came out bla bla"
