Lost internet due to weather. Had a temp bad for about 15 minutes, after that tried to go into a match and immediately received another ban this time for 2 hours
Happened again yet again today. This is the error I get 90% of the time the game crashes for me
then steam gets stuck doing nothing at this state
verifying files gets stuck the same way at 0%
Eventually after restarting my computer and steam a couple times it will eventually verify and find nothing wrong, or download a small amount of data ranging from 100kilobytes to a few megs.
I reconnected twice but the match became an abandon after the 2nd crash
It takes so long to go through this process that the match becomes almost always becomes abandoned. Which is resulting in more and more severe bans. This wasnt happening when I was playing the game earlier last year, but there are a lot of post referencing this issue lately.
This is the only game where I have any issue like this even with other valve source engine 2 games
