<div class="IPBDescription">Hey, I want my Natural Selection!</div> Ok, so all of a sudden today I stopped being able to play multiplayer games for Natural Selection. Anytime I ht the multiplayer button, Half-Life freezes up. The same thing happens with any Half-Life mod I try (CS, TFC, even HL deathmatch). I CAN play LAN games. I tried reinstalling Half-Life and Natural Selection, but nothing changed.

Anyhow, my Comp specs:

Pentium 4 2.4 GHZ
GeForce 4 Ti4200
Turtle beach Santa Cruz DSP Sound card
Windows XP
Running in D3D at optimal resolution (1248 * 946 or something like that)
Certainly not running EAX

Like I said, any help would be appreciated. Right now, it's only been a couple of hourse, but I'm getting angry

    All my friends say they get the same problem that I do.

    So I don't think it's my PC or my copy of NS.

    It went off when I was on a server, got a connection problem, then I couldn't get back on the games screen to view what was wrong.

    The game servers still refresh in GameSpy, although they are empty of course.

    By the way, I just downloaded the new woncomm file, which didn't work...right now, I'm in the process of re-downloading HL 1.10 and NS, I sure hope this works...otherwise, I might just have to jump out my 14th story window <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Alright! I downloaded the new woncomm.lst file as described here:
    <!--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-->If you want to fix the WON problem go to <a href='http://www.visattra.com/sabina/' target='_blank'>http://www.visattra.com/sabina/</a> , right click woncomm, save target as into half-life/valve folder but i would backup the old woncomm file firs

    It is different than the sticky and it worx.
    <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->, and lo and behold it worked!!! Time to munch some marines! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
