sandman13 0 Posted February 1, 2014 Alright so I've been able to connect and play no problem for 10+ hours but now I can't at all. Whenever I try to join a server I get in and within 5 seconds I get yellow chain, 5 more red chain and no message received for 10 seconds counting up forever. Doesn't matter what server I play on, hardcore or normal, lots of players or no players at all. I literally can't play the game. This had never happened until yesterday and I thought maybe it's a anti-server hopping thing (even though I only joined like 2 servers within 2 or 3 minutes). Woke up today and I try again with no luck. Can't play on any servers. They all show up fine, my ping is fine, but I can't play. It's really annoying. Does anyone have any experience with this and know how to solve this problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TedZ 424 Posted February 1, 2014 Uninstall and re-download, you tried that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandman13 0 Posted February 1, 2014 Would that reset my characters or are they tied to my steam account? I will try that if I know for sure I won't be restarting both my hardcore and normal characters as I've collected a lot of gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djporternz 644 Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Characters are stored on the hive so are immune to anything you do on your computer. Before redownloading the entire game, use the 'Verify local files' option in Steam. But since you are able to connect to a server seems to me that the game files are all good. Try rebooting your modem/router if you haven't already. Other than that, IDK, sorry. Edited February 1, 2014 by DJPorterNZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
