Before we do too much, please uninstall and reinstall NS (preferabbly with a freshly downloaded copy of the 2.0 client).

From a french site:
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Host_Error: CL_ParseServerMessage: Illegible server message - svc_bad
Solution : le problème est assez confus. Il est possible de quitter le jeu puis de le redémarrer pour pour jouer correctement.
Ce problème survient aussi lorsque HLSERVEUR est installé. Désinstallez-le pour pouvoir jouer normalem<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

rough translation (french is a bit rusty):
(ill skip to the important parts)
"It's possible to exit the game and retry to fix this. Problem also occurs when the HL server is installed. Delete it to play the game in a normal fashion."

from another site:

F) Cl_parseservermessage returned svc_bad
This error is given when an invalid message is sent to the server. Type 'retry' in the console to connect back to the game.

You have the NS server installed aswell ?

I'm having the same problem. I do have NS Server installed. Specs are Win XP, 1.7ghz, 512 RAM, 128 G-Force 4 Ti. I would unistall NS Server but I'm unsure how to go about doing it. Should I reinstall???
