Search the forums, this has been answered multiple times

All you have to do is verify your game cache. Library > L4D2> Properties> Local Content> Verify Game Cache =)

[...]

Most of the times it's just a bug, there is actually no problem with the file the error mentions. Just restart game/steam and it should be solved.

This.

It basically means that the host of the server is using a client-side addon. It contains such modifications to the extent that other players need the addon for the server to function normally.

Typing sv_consistency 0 into the console will solve the issue.

If you know the host of the server, you should tell them to type in this command, that way everyone can enjoy the mods they have enabled. If you don't, well, then your choices are to either disable the mod that is enforcing consistency or look for another server.

What do you guys mean by the "console"? Do you mean the game chat? I'm having the same issue where my friends can't join my local server where I want to use certain addons but I have nowhere to type in the consistency thing except for chat.

I get that this is an old thread, but it's still the issue I'm currently having and it was the top search result. As long as I eventually find the answer, I don't care what people think. I'm not some child that gets butthurt over haters.

Maybe cause he did a search and this forum turned up? Plus it’s relevant, so..

To enable console go to options menu. I forget if it’s “multiplayer” or “keyboard & mouse” - but click “enable developer console”. You can toggle the console by pressing ~

And yeah that consistency error happens because the files on the server differ from the client’s. Try disabling addons and of that doesn’t work verify your game files.

Ty. Though I already figured it out. But I appreciate your willingness to help and not be a jerk like the other guy. You're a good person.

Stop necroing, let this thread die.

Still a very relevant issue. Google search brought it to my attention.


Just began encountering this myself for the hunter and have had the game for years. Have not added any new add ons for the hunter in a couple years.

"Server is enforcing consistency for this file: models/infected/hunter.mdl"



Disabled and then unsubscribed to all hunter addons. Neither changed anything.

Verifying the game did not resolve the problem.

Am getting disconnected from all games I join, doesn't matter the server.

2012 thread, but whatever...

try this:

1- Remove the spitter folder inside:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\materials\models\infected

the folder path depends on where you installed your game ( kinda obvious but some ppl don't know about that)

2- Verify the game files

3- Start a singleplayer game

4- quit and join an Online match

5- ????

6 - profit
