I get this error every 30 seconds or so. My ping goes insanely high when this shows up. It happens in every server, regardless of the ping. Its the red message in te top right btw. Anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?
**pasted** One way to join a game, is to go into Half-life > Configuration > Video > Video Modes and change your settings to Software Mode. Yes, software mode is utter pants so put it on the highest resolution. It's still laggy but you should be able to join any server. I did this until I found out while in a LAN game that with the new 1.1.0.1 patch, the fps_modem and fps_max settings had been changed to a default. What you are most probably doing is flooding yourself out. Go into a server, or, if you can't join one, creating a LAN game is just as good if not better. Type into the console "fps_modem" without the speechmarks. A reply will be given in the form "fps_modem is xx" where xx is a number. Set this level to 30 by typing "fps_modem 30". If you can remember your preference for this setting before the patch use that, this is just a guideline. Next, type into the console "fps_max" (again, without speechmarks). A reply is given in the same form as before. Set this to 30 by typing "fps_max 30". The default settings are likely to be completely different to these (mine were), I think the fps_max is set to 0.0 by default and fps_modem something like 70. After doing this I've had no problems at all joining any server. WARNING: CL_FlushEntityPacket The above fps levels also helps with the error message: "CL_FlushEntityPacket". I haven't had this message since changing the fps levels. Basicaly, upping the fps_modem will allow you a higher frame rate, so smoother game. The fps_max just sets an upper limit. You should increase the fps_modem to whatever your computer can handle. Change the settings until the minimum troubles and latency are reached. Try it.
ya i know that problem next time you can get easy help by going to steampowered.com and find your error, btw i added u cus i play 1.6
