It seems that when I do get retrying connection to server (every time I join a new game) when I 'rejoin' after timing out and going back to the main menu I never get a problem. Not sure if that helps to identify the issue.

So do you have a router, and if so, have you tried opening the Steam ports?

I have a BT homehub and haven't tried forwarding steam ports to my machine as yet. It used to work fine before with no port forwarding in place.

I'm pretty sure that deleting the clientregistry.blob file and allowing it to be recreated solves the problem albeit only temporarily.

I too get 'redownloading all lightmaps' everytime I join a server whether it works or not. Do you know if this is normal or not?

Cheers,
Rob.

PS. Do you know which ports need forwarding?
