I was able to play this game till recently, and something changed. I normally have no problem downloading whatever files are required when I try to join a sever, and I do see it trying to DL. But now no matter what server I try to join now, I get an error saying I don't have a required mod.
Please help, I have been playing this game since its inception.
Thank you,

EDIT: I deleted the workshop folder and checked validity. Same problem.
EDIT II: I tried everything on that "read me first" page. Same problem

Make sure that the VC 2013 Redistributable Packages x64 is installed. The packages are needed to run NS2. Follow these steps to install them:
Right-click at Natural Selection 2 in your Steam library -> Properties -> Local Files -> Browse Local Files
Open _CommonRedist -> vcredist -> 2013
Now run the vcredist_x64.exe
my 2013 (only folder there) folder is empty. No vcredist_x64.exe ?
I uninstalled, reinstalled, Tried downloading mods manually, and joining every single available server..... with the same damn error.
I can make my own server and play.
This is ridiculous. Unless someone can teach this old man what's up, I'm throwing in the towel.

sorry for the late response. If your game is starting you are not missing VC Redistributable Packages. So don't worry about that. But we need a few more details to really understand what is going on.
So please start the game, open the console and enter Now try to connect to a server. Afterwards please go to %appdata%/Natural Selection 2 and attach the log.txt to your post (just drag and drop it into the post field).
Thanks for the help Ghoul
Could my ESET be causing this all of a sudden? I've been using it for many years. Nope, I disabled it and same error
Facepalm
Looks like FiOS is blocking it maybe?
No idea why you started running into this only now.
Edit: Based on my quick google search you can disable it via some Fios android/iphone app.
Sure enough, after a small google search, I was able to run it off on the app. Someone at Verizon needs to be kicked in the junk for that.
Going to test it now......
Thank you for all your help, I really appreciate it.
