Repeated Disconnect from TV3

[CastleDoctrine]

I'm having a problem with being disconnected from TV3, Day of Defeat 1.3. This happens several minutes after joining the server, without fail:



I have tried rejoining the server, restarting DoD, restarting Steam, and restarting Windows, all without a successful resolution. This error occurs when I play on some other DoD servers as well (sometimes it happens, sometimes not), but consistently disconnects on TV3.

I have read in the Steam DoD forums that closing Steam, deleting the ClientRegistry.blob file, then starting Steam could help. Is this safe and/or will it work? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Deleteing the ClientRegistry.blob is safe, I have had to do it on a number of occasions to fix Steam troubles similar to the one you're experiencing.

You can always make a backup/rename it then revert if you do have a problem. As I understand it it's kind of like deleting your config.txt for a Steam game, it will create a new one when you start the program.

This happens when Steam servers are being worked on. An update usually follows, then the server needs a reboot or the kicking will continue.

A quik PM to Dog and he will rcon in and fix.

Done.
Stupid VALVe...

Restarting the server has fixed my problem.

Thanks for your help.

If I get a chance, I will do a complete re-install sometime either this weekend or next weekend..

Thank you Dog for helping to keep 1.3 alive.

Now its happening to me. Did deleting that file work for anyone?

It's not just you, and not just DoD.

[E.T. EddieTorrez]

Buzzy you don't play DoD git out of here!!!.....thanks for the update.

I know I don't but still @_@ It's very difficult to communicate with people when you can't use the chat service built into the game's client. Trying to get the word out as best as I can...

It just adds a new element to Steam being ingenious.
