Host Pending Connection Timeout Flashes Forever

[skunkmonkey]

I get the error "Host Pending Connection Timeout" which appears and disappears and sends me back to the main screen, then reappears constantly when trying to log in to a dedicated server.
Is anyone else running into this, and have you found a fix for it? Both my wife and my sister have also encountered this error. Validating files worked for them, but it hasn't worked for me. Validation says that 2 files failed and will be redownloaded, which it does, but then the same thing still happens, and if I revalidate it says that the files are corrupt again.

If the message is flashing then either delete your connection cache file (located at /Steam/steamapps/common/ATLAS/ShooterGame/Saved or join another server then try yours again. Also, make sure you're using the join option instead of rejoin.

If a message pops up but your game freezes, just let it be, it's loading and may take several minutes.

Yeah I fixed it by joining an official server. Quitting, and rejoining my dedicated server. Thanks
