After the Kodiak update I am getting this 'Couldn't Establish A Connection With The Server' message over and over after trying to join any servers.
I have tried
• Delete the folder drive\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Natural Selection 2\ns2\shaders
• Press the Windows key and R (Win+R) and type %APPDATA%\Natural Selection 2 then press enter.
• Delete all the files in this folder
• Verify the Integrity of the NS2 Game Cache
• You can also try deleting the local Steam files for NS2 and reinstall NS2.
All of these and none of those worked out.
I just bought upcoming dlc also and this is just makes me angry again.

Thank you.
It worked for me after all the steps I did on above method.
thanks for your help.
i've got same problem with Comodo + NS2
But it was shorter for me. Just uninstall Comodo for instance.
Because even with Comodo turn off, still having trouble ...
Here's my steps :
1. Uninstall your virus and firewall program such as comodo ( or MSE, Northern).
2. Restart the PC
3. start play or optimize NS2
4. Exit NS2 and install your virus and firewall Program.
And works fine now.
Someone should contact that company to notify them
The issue there is that many antivirus tools don't really disable themself if you use their disable function. They just keep themself quiet but keep running.
So "exiting" or "disabling" the firewall software isn't enough. I made NS2 work again by right-clicking the Comodo icon, selecting HIPS and putting it into "Clean PC Mode" and moving ns2.exe to Trusted Files from Unrecognized Files. I'm quite sure I already did this when the Comodo pop-ups attacked me the first time, but anyways...
