Timeout?
Re-installed this game after a 2 year (or more) leave. Tried joining up with the bf and it kept timing me out. Got into the server, only to be kicked out. Joined another server, a rookie one as well, and got timed out again. Help?

Thanks!

Name of? The server itself? I'm not sure, but they were both Rookie servers, at least in the title.

Edit: Finally got to join his game, on a server he created, but it crashed...so I guess it works? Game says I'm at level 42? Is that no longer a Rookie? Maybe I'm not allowed in those servers?

Hi,

sorry to hear that you are having problems connecting to a server. A timeout means that your client hasn't received any updates from the given server for more than 15 seconds. Common reasons for that to occur are either connection issues or your system's firewall is blocking incoming UDP packets from the server. Are you and your bf in the same local network?

For additional help I would ask you to provide a client log.txt (from %appdata%/Natural Selection 2/). Please also enter net_log 53 into the console before you attempt to connect to a server.

Rookies are players below level 20. So no you are not a rookie anymore. However that shouldn't stop you from connecting to a boot camp server, you'll just be unable to join a team if your skill rank is above tier 1 (see https://wiki.naturalselection2.com/view/Ranking_System for more details about ns2's skill rank system)

hey dev, thanks for the response.

Yes, we're in the same house, and on the same local network. My firewall is also off.

Hi.
Do you use a VPN? I just had the same issue. When I switched it off I could join like always.
Hope it helps
