Cannot connect to any server
Hello all, i have not been able to connect to any servers (both official and community) for these two days occasionally. What i mean by occasionally is that sometimes i can get into a server and play, but if i have one time that i cannot do so, then I couldnt until I restart the computer. The situation of not connecting is that the loading progress stucks at parsing game info, and will give me the connection failed after 4 tries thing. And this always happens when im in a party, and happens like every two to three games when im playing by myself. I have tried verifying game cache, restarting the game and restarting the computer and restarting the computer seems to work sometimes, but I really dont want to reboot it every few games so I desperately want to seek help here. The only change ive done to my computer or the game in these two days is installing the chris config (maxframe settings), so im not sure this is a conincidence or what.
And I am playing tf2 on a mac.

Thank you!

PS: I have limited data flow everyday so re-installing the game is my last resort, I want to try every possible solution before doing that
Update: I have removed the chris config and it doesnt work. Also restarting the computer cannot help

Have you tried removing ALL your custom files and then restoring tf2 to vanilla settings through launch options?

paiCHave you tried removing ALL your custom files and then restoring tf2 to vanilla settings through launch options?

thanks for your reply, i think i solved the problem. It seems that valve thinks that someone is using the same client port as me (which is quite impossible because im living alone) so I changed the client port in launch options and now i can connect to servers normally.

Thanks!
Edit: fixed on solo, but still cant connect when im in a party

I cannot connect to a server when im in a party but I can connect to that exact server individually,
i tested that by manually searching for the server my frds are on, and i can connect to it, which i couldnt the moment before when i was with them in the same party, so what exactly is happening???-
