Could it be a result of this...?
From steampowered.com....



Error: You have been disconnected from server. Reason: Reliable channel overflow.
Question


I get this error: ''You have been disconnected from server. Reason: Reliable channel overflow.'
Answer


If you are getting Reliable Channel Overflow messages this typically means that either:

* Your internet connection or the server's internet connection is having problems.
* You have some P2P or similar program running on your system, sending email will also cause this.
* There are other computers on your local network using your internet connection.
* The server you are on has its network connection overloaded (too many players or it's sending email or something).
* You are running on a wireless connection.
* You have a Virus or Trojan or Internet Worm infection that is generating traffic.
* You are connected to the internet using an analog (56K) modem.
* You have your rate or cl_updaterate or cl_cmdrate settings too fast for your internet connection.

You can help to identify and eliminate the source of your problem by:

1. Shut down all unnecessary programs on your computer before playing.
2. Disconnect all other computers in your household to see if they are causing the problem.
3. Scan all computers on your home network for virus/trojan and spyware.
4. If you are running on a wireless network, try connecting using a direct ethernet cable and see if the problem goes away. You will probably have to disable the "Wireless Zero" service while you are playing as well.
5. Follow recommended tuneup procedures for your 56K modem connection (but expect this error to happen from time to time with analog modems). Dr Tweak's Advanced 56k help guide
6. The default rate is 3500 to 5000 for 56K Modem, 7500 for DSL and 9999 for Cable/T1 you should use the appropriate setting for your connection. You set this in your game console (~ typically) by entering:
rate 7500
7. The default cl_updaterate is 20, setting the value to a higher number increases the download demand on your connection. Set this in your console:
cl_updaterate 20
8. The default cl_cmdrate is 30, setting the cale to a higher number increases the upload demoand on your internet connection. Set this in your console:
cl_cmdrate 30
