There seems to be quite a lot of different reasons for this occuring with it happpening in many mods to everyone on the server at the same time, and also to individuals with weird routers.
But why is it always UserMsg 57? I think the only person who can answer this is someone at valve by looking up their source code. With it being a problem in many mods it would be time well spent. If its happening for different reasons, then perhaps some more specific error messages might be useful too. Peter. Quoting "McCormack, Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > check the hlmappers fourm.
