Mercen4ry Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 It can easily be one of four problems: 1) You aren't running the current patch. Please hit the files section here or on the official site for the patch to 1.03. 2) You are one of the victims of the dreaded CL_ParsePacket: Entities error. Not sure if there's really a way to fix this, but I do know that it's caused by a server error as it relates to certain clients. 3) It's the modem. Many, many servers have a function enabled that limits players to having a ping of x amount. Since you have 56k, that makes it very easy for your client to be booted from the server automatically via the "This server is for low pings only" error. 4) As a last resort, if you are running a router or personal firewall, these can easily be the culprit(s). Try disabling firewalls only as a last resort, however - it makes you vulnerable to hackers. Good luck. Merc out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
