Unless...
Snarks.
I remember playing a 20 player lan game, everyone with snarks, the map was some wierd snarkpit, and I was in the pit D:, my snarks lost, their snarks won.
We were playing teamplay and there were these combine guys staying in the vent and shooting rockets, three of them. I waited untill they had to rearm(each of them would try to get all the extra ammo, but they usually only got one) anyway. Me, being the rebel I am, decide I need some fresh air...
That is all over the place, even on a few of the houses on the buggy levels.
It could be something about the Resistance hiding your children, or fight so you can have children or something of the sort ^^
I had this very same error.
Then I realised I had 1gb of ram that was dual channel and they were in the wrong slots in my computer..
GG human error on my part
Wait, just because you can't play HL2 you're suing Valve?
Internet REQUIRED. You CANNOT sue Everquest because they need to activate your account too. GG.
If you are suing them for bandwith, wow, about 50cents for activation. Go to Judge Judy or something.
