DoD:Source connectivity problem.

[VERSE]

I used to be able to play DoD: Source when ever I wanted I never really played it much, but sometimes when i was bored it was fun... but anyway now when I try to connect to any servers I cannot. Not one single server. I check out what the console says and I get this.

Now I don't use cheats or anything so I'm not even sure why it's saying this line..
"Can't use cheat cvars in multiplayer, unless the server has sv_cheats set to 1."

Anyone know what the problem may be?

[trance^E]

put it this way... what have you tried so far.. like have you tried deleting all the DoD:S content in your steam folder and reinstalling?

[spin]

having cheat commands will not make you get kicked from the server. it just ignors them, so that isnt your problem.

[vitz]

Yeah, the cheat cvar messages aren't important (or relevant to the problem) I don't think. It looks like a network connectivity issue. Have you tried just pinging those IP's for the servers you are trying to connect to? Are you behind a school/university network that might be blocking port 27015 outbound? Can you play TFC or other HL/HL2 mods fine still (ie: is the problem restricted to just DOD:S?)

[VERSE]

No i'm not in any school/university campus. So thats not the problem.. I can actually connect to any server with any other HL2 and HL Mods, its just DoD that doesn't work... I guess I can try to delete the files for DoD and see if that fixes the problem.. I'll let you guys know.

[VERSE]

Tried deleting all the DoD files, and redownloading but it still doesn't work... wtf.

[thrash_head]

re-install steam?

[VERSE]

Ok found out what the problem was... The steam browser for Dod:source is showing some problems where it doesn't filterout DoD the old one... so instead its showing servers for both DoD and DoD:Source.. so i overlooked at the server game type figuring they were all for DoD:Source..therefore I couldn't connect to any of them.. valve sucks.
