I don't have the patience to wait for it to clear up when it happens to me, so I starting experimenting. The only way I can manually get it to release me is to close my client and close the server down.(Just the HL engine, not talking about rebooting the whole server.) Shutting just one or the other down doesn't seem to release it. After I have successfully shutdown and restarted both server and client, I can then successful connect again. In my case, the whole problem began when I didn't have a wad file that was expected as the map was starting up, and the server wouldn't download it to me. Even though I don't explicitly have downloads turned off. It appeared that it thought I already had it and crashed and burned when it tried starting the map up without it, so my connection was already in advanced stages with the server.
