Css error :/

So, I went to play it earlier today, selected a server, joined it.
When I was in the last part of that bar that gets full when you're joining a server, it simply stopped. I sat and waited for 2 or 3 minutes, gave up, hit cancel and retry'd. This time I joined the server pretty quick. But after 3 seconds this error came:




Alright, tried a few more times, the same thing.
Re-started steam, tried again, nothing.
Backup'd all my game files, re-installed steam.
Started css, joined a server, everything went fine. I even got to play normaly.
Now, I tried to join a server, the same thing happened, I didn't fully load the bar, I hit cancel and retried...blah blah, you know it.

I was wondering if some of you would know how to solve this, because I'm dowloading TFC back, and I don't want to reinstall Steam, dunno what might happen.
So, any suggestions?

It is a server-side thing. This shit happens all the time in most Steam games, including TFC.

Here is how to fix the problem, though usually if you just wait a couple a hours it will fix itself. I think it is a problem with one of the two Steam servers because usually you can connect to some servers and not get the error but get the error when trying to connect to others. The problem is on the client side.

That error is fairly common.

I just go to a different server.
