Hi guys
So I just fixed the downloading mods fiasco and now I have a new problem. Half the servers I attempt to join hit me with this message
Your game files do not match the servers. Try verifying your game cache in steam or maybe an update just came out.
I verified integrity of game cache and there was no problem. Thus I'm wondering what else I need to do to get this working.
thanks

A temp fix is to unsubscribe from all mods (tedious), then to delete all mods. Then to go into your ns2 folder (Steamapps/common/naturalselection2/ns2) and delete the lua folder. Then verify to redownload that 5mb bunch of files. Although that'll only last about a day so I can't be bothered.
try searching through your subscribed mods and disabling them (even crosshair mods) or maybe clearing your workshop folder in %appdata%\Natural Selection 2\
there can definitely be some terrible issues with the workshop in general
and try again.
I tried:
1) delete all files in the server (appdata and the game);
2) desactivate all mods in the server;
3) delete my files and unsubscrib the mods.
...
My final log when i receive the message of "files not match..."

Main Menu Initialized at Version: 248
Steam Id: 6284405
Error: IDirect3DDevice9::Reset to 1440x900 failed (Device lost)
Error: Attempted to load remote options from a file that does not exist.

Still same in build 247/248.
And is a problem with a single server. I can join in others without problem.
Then delete the workshop folder thats in your hidden %appdata%\natural selection 2\ folder.
I'd contact that server owner if its just that one single server? They could be doing something different.
A last resort for you would be to manually delete all the files on your HD relating to NS2 and completely redownload from steam.
This is NOT a reinstall through stream, or simply validating files.. manually delete everything.
Then try installing.
I was using this one:
{
"check": [ "game_setup.xml", "*.lua", "*.fx", "*.screenfx", "*.surface_shader", "*.fxh", "*.render_setup", "*.shader_template", "*.level", "*.dds", "*.jpg", "*.png", "*.cinematic", "*.material", "*.model", "*.animation_graph", "*.polygons", "*.fev", "*.fsb" ],
"ignore": [ "ui/*.dds", "*_view*.dds", "*_view*.material", "*_view*.model" ]
}
Now we just edit and are using this one:
{
"check": [ "game_setup.xml" ],
"ignore": [ "ui/*.dds", "*_view*.dds", "*_view*.material", "*_view*.model", "*.lua", "*.fx", "*.screenfx", "*.surface_shader", "*.fxh", "*.render_setup", "*.shader_template", "*.level", "*.dds", "*.jpg", "*.png", "*.cinematic", "*.material", "*.model", "*.animation_graph", "*.polygons", "*.fev", "*.fsb" ]
}
Do you know a better config?
Juuusssstttt thought you should consider that.
{
"check": [ "game_setup.xml", "*.lua", "*.fx", "*.screenfx", "*.surface_shader", "*.fxh", "*.render_setup", "*.shader_template", "*.fsb", "*.material", "*.model", "*.jpg", "*.png", "*.cinematic", "*.dds", "*.level", "*.fev", "*.polygons" ],
"ignore": [ "ui/*.dds", "*_view*.dds", "*_view*.material", "*_view*.model" ]
}
The original recomendation (with "*.animation_graph") is from Brian, Max and Mendasp from UWE Discussion Group.
A server side mod could be effecting that animation graph
EDIT:
I deleted many times the .animation_graph files and downloaded again. The problem persist. With .animation_graph in ConstCheck config all the time get error.
After going over the server files comparing them to my own I found that a folder was missing on my PC.
ns2/models/marine/grenades
This was in the server files so I downloaded the files inside placed into a folder (named "grenades") then moved it to the same place on my PC.
Now I can join the server, Maybe Unknown Worlds missed a file with build 248?
But and another person, can join in the server without doing this? I'm thinking that the problem is with server and not with you.
No the server's have been given files not yet given to public players, so the problem is with the server.
No one can join the server because no one else has been given the ns2/models/marine/granades files.
So the server is looking for this file but cant find it on anyones client hench you get this message.
"Your game files do not match the servers. Try verifying your game cache in steam or maybe an update just came out."
Just try for I see if my problem (with 2 servers) is the same of your.
{
"check"[ "game_setup.xml", "*.lua", "*.fx", "*.screenfx", "*.surface_shader", "*.fxh", "*.render_setup", "*.shader_template", "*.fsb", "*.material", "*.model", "*.jpg", "*.png", "*.cinematic", "*.dds", "*.level", "*.fev", "*.polygons" ],
"ignore": [ "ui/*.dds", "*_view*.dds", "*_view*.material", "*_view*.model" ]
}
Yes.
Put this in the server and try enter on it.
Never had the problem before.
I've unsubscribed from every mod and deleted them from the usual place however when i go into game and look under mods the whole list is still there?
Very confused about that, i have the mods on favorite but i'm assuming having them on favorite is not the same as subscribing.
When joining the server with the console open it is asking for the (ns2/models/marine/grenades) files.
I will not say what the files inside are unless Unknown Worlds wishes to make them public, but this is the reason people cant join my server
What I remeber about these files (marines/grenades) its just show up in the logs of server, but I don't know why and never was a problem for me.
What's showing up for who are trying join in the server, and what is the log in the server about it?

Brian agreed with me, the solution about mesage - Your game files do not match the servers. Try verifying your game cache in steam or maybe an update just came out - is:
"Removing "*animation_graph" from consistency is the best solution to this problem until the next patch is released."
IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS (yes I know I'm shouting, I'm pissed off as I haven't been able to play NS2 for about a week).
Come on Unknown worlds, get your shit together, i;m not seeing a resolution from the game developers happening here at all!
I have verified my game files about 5 times (yawn) over the week, no updates.....

Thanks @ tuxor for the solution
