Client Dropped by Server ... again ...

T e c h N i c a l · July 16, 2007, 05:17:38 PM

'Lo all, I was just wondering if there was an easy (IE I don't have to buy a new motherboard, or something) fix for the 'Client Dropped By Server' error that sometimes comes up when I join a server, forcing me to keep retrying until it lets me through (This will take 5 or 6 times typically, which is especially a pain when the server is passworded, or when using things like Tournament.com, which only give you 2 chances to connect). And when I say 'sometimes' I really mean 'usually' to 'consistently'.

Need help!

Two things you can try:

1. Do the classical "close steam and delete the registryblob file".

2. While in steam from the steam menu select "File -> Change User" and then log on again.

You mean the fact that I'm called 'Icehawk' in WoW? Yeah. Believe me, Icehawk was my first character on WoW, and I created him way before meeting Icehawk in dMw.

And don't worry, I'll change it soon, as I'm currently concentrating on other characters (who will be a higher level than (my) Icehawk pretty soon, no doubt).

Anyway! To Dr Sadako - Change User isn't going to work, I know this simply because I do it so much anyway (I have to do this whenever I update/install a mod).

However, I've never tried deleting this 'registryblob' file. Where would I find it?

EDIT: Do you mean ClientRegistry.blob ?

That's the one. As typed before, deleting the Blob-file and restarting Steam solves loads of problems. It's been allready typed over and over as a suggestion to solve any problem with Steam.

About the sig thing; Ah okay, but your sig is to big anyway. :narnar:
