    Game hangs on 'receiving data -dropping effect generic'

    Happens on every server I try to connect to. I have tried Everything I can possibly think of to fix this - fire walls, anti virus, drivers, reinstall, verify, resolutions, community servers v's dev servers, full v's empty, waiting few mins to try hope it will work per server.......nothing works.

    Gtx 780
    i7 4790k
    16gb

    After having this problem and trying to search for a solution a quickly found i was not alone and there are hundreds of posts on the same subject yet I can not find a single official response, help please, what is going on?

    ps: can play legacy servers just fine, but i am not looking to play those it is the normal new and dev that i can not access.

    win 7 ultimate, finally found 1 server i could join everytime on the dev build community servers. that was one server out of about 50 i tried so far, i have no idea what made that one so special.

    Edit, that server was called Rusty Pie

    I want to add to this post that when I first join a server, the console is spammed with 'dropping effect generic' over and over for quite a while. I don't know if this is intended, but if not it may be the cause of some of the many performance issues I get in this current build.
