I can only think of one reason; your connection is to slow and the server time-out will not allow for this.

Well. i have been playing for months and just started doing this while i was playing, and ever sense then i cant play. so i dont know.

I think you may have been banned. Let me know what name/s you use and I will try to find out if you want.
Raven Aug 26, 2014 @ 3:33am 
Ok. blackgnuzu would be the main one. it was the one i was playing on when it happened

I think I remember you (Mining) but have not seen you around for quite a while, under that name anyway. I will ask and see if you have been banned, don't know how long I will have to wait for a reply, but, I will try and direct them to here.

ok. i think i was on the Ghost of something's server.
GRUB Aug 27, 2014 @ 2:14am 
I have contacted the people who know but no reply as yet.

Ok thanks mate.
YES things like this happen.grub maybe correct about your internet is to weak to join server.make sure all your steam settings are correct.if you are using wireless internet that is weak,try moving the modem around bye a window,or acually point towards your internet providers tower.you should be able to find this from there websight.also keeping as little processes running in background, as possible.make sure your pc isn't trying to do updates while you are gaming.i recommend running a "chkdsk" command from cmd (run as admin),and choose the option to run this command on your next startup or restart.(may take awhile)..then after you run chkdsk i recommend defragmenting that drive u checked and fixed with chkdsk.after running chkdsk,if you defragment you will be able to dfrag much more than w/o chkdsk.(to put simpley)...do this maybe every 4-6 months depending on how much you clutter your pc.EVERY THING YOU DO TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE ON YOUR PC,WILL HELP YOUR GAMING GREATLY...FOR SOME PEOPLE IT'S JUST A MATTER OF BETTER INTERNET.USUALLY IT'S JUST SWITCHING FROM WIRELESS (WYFI),TO A ETHERNET CORD AND A BETTER ETHERNET MODEM(54MBPS-100 IS MINIMUM)...FOR OTHERS IT WONT MATTER THE SPEED OF INTERNET BECAUSE THERE PC IS INFECTED,THERE SPYWARE PROTECTION IS CRAP OR IS INTERFERING WITH STEAM,THERE SETTINGS ARE ALL WRONG(VIDEO CARD SETTINGS,STEAM SETTINGS,INTERNET SETTINGS,OR EVEN WINDOWS SETTINGS.)From my experiance i say have a gaming pc only for gaming.use another computer or smartphone to downlaod songs,watch videos,check emails etc etc etc.so thatyou can perfectly adjust your pc according to your game,and your hardware ,and your ping.and not worry about disabling or unistalling the wrong thing.I RECOMEND "AVIRA" FOR PC PROTECION.Defraggler to deragment..Ccleaner for basic cleaning..and Synei service manager to control background processes and services so you dont hurt your pc disabling stupid things windows makes run in the background that you dont need for gaming.all my recomended apps are freeware.you will not be able to properly download AVIRA unless you unistall crap spyware like AVG,SPYBOT,NORTON...THOSE ALL INTERFERE WITH STEAM AND MANY MANY OTHER APPS AND SOFTWARE.AND OF COURSE TURN OFF WINDOWS SECURITY OR MCAFFEE...SOFTWARE LIKE AVIRA,AND SYSTEM MECHANIC ARE REALLY THE ONLY PROTECTION SOFTWARE I TRUST.BUT AVIRA SEEMS TO BE THE LIGHTEST ON MY PC NOT DRAGGING IT DOWN.IN A NUTSHELL TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR GAMING,AND TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR WINDOWS OPERATING SYSYTEM.

Uh... ok thanks. i will try that. My computer is pretty new.( half a year) and i know that because i live in australia,(i am guessing that is the reason. my ping is allways in the red. i will see and just keep trying.

Hope you have windows 7 and not 8. Try searching for TCP Optimizer.
If you are on wireless connection to your home there is not a great deal we can help you with. But, if you are wired to the home and wireles from the modem/router; you need to get a CAT5 Ethernet cable to connect directly to the modem/router.

You can also try this (Windows 7) : -
Go to ~ Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center.
Look for "Local Area Connection" and click on it, this brings up "Local Area Connection Status", click on the "Properties" Button then highlight "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" then click on the "Configure" button.
In the popup select the "Advanced" tab. Scroll down the list and find "Speed & Duplex", hilight it and you will see the Value on the right. This is Auto Negotiation by default, cick on the list button and select 100 Mbps Full Duplex. Then click ok and close all of the windows that were opened by this process.
Now run TCP Optimizer.

some of the reasons you may not have known about ...your steam is logged in to a wrong server...what i mean is the nearest server is the one you need to go through not one in a different state etc..... you can press CTRK shift and press esc then find steam set priority to high or better same with sniperghostwarrior..... good luck..other reason is your too far away from the master server....depends on how many links auzzy has with world.....

Yeah ok thanks guys. i have a windows 8. i dont know. i will try to get on when i have a ethernet cable pugged in. Weird thing was i was playing fine for months but one day while i was playing it just wouldnt let me back on so.... But thanks again i will try this
Raven Sep 2, 2014 @ 7:22pm 
I try the set priorty and it looked like it helps with the internet connention but i still can not spawn in when i get on a server. and then a few secs late i get disconneted. i will try the cable later this week. Thanks

ShadowBlade44, this is sad1011. I run the ts servers. You were banned while using on of the following names:

BlackGnuzu
GHOSTOFYOMAMA
ShadowBlade44
SargentWally
ShadowBlade
UncleFestus

I will ask the admins why and reply here with my findings.

p.s. I appoligize for the delay. I haven't been monitoring this forum. I intend to pay more attention to player questions posted here.
