    So, this is interesting.

    I joined the HI server and after maybe a minute, I get booted out of game with a "Client Timed Out" error. Tried to reconnect but I get the same thing. Checked out the other servers and didn't get anything issues. Just HI. o:

    Anyone else encounter this?

    Not myself but I see more people getting booted from HI, one moment it's on 20/28, the other on 8/28. If more people have this please tell.

    This happens on PR also. It's not common, though. I'd say once a week or so. Not sure if it's related, but high ping servers seem to be where it happens.

    Hello, im new here (forum, i have 2 years on PR coop ), this happens in other games too (hl2,tf2,csgo), i was have this problem with no reason and make me angry because just 15 mins with online and i get that.

    A temportal solution is deleting the clientregistry.blob on steam folder, sadly that dont help aswell,, i tryed all, i searched more hours on google than hours on l4d2 that i haved played, and i find not an explanation of the cause of this.
    So a day i just gave format to my hard disk because some problems. i installed all again and the problem stills on the game but with a change, theres not a clientregistry.blob to delete, and i just waited like 10 mins and i rejoin, i dont get other client timed out after 5 days, so, this is already my status now.

    Sometimes i get it and sometimes not, i lose a lot of shamans for this.

    For me this is some like solved, but if someone can tell me, what causes this, or if this have a permanent solution, please tell me, so the people will solve this cancer too

    I think I resolved the problems. I think my firewall was being pissy because I had re-installed it and didn't give L4D2 certain permissions.
