Hello,

Whenever I try and join the server, I either get disconnected with the messages: Lost connection to the server, Constrictor timed out or the 'Auto disconnect in <....>.' 

I've tried restarting, but that didn't work. I've also tried joining from both the website and through someone on steam. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Constrictor.

How much space you have left on your PC? That could be the problem if you don't have allot of space.

Were your friends able to join the server as usual?
Do you have enough space left on your hard drive / ssd? (as SirApex said)
Did you blacklist Garry's Mod in your Firewall by accident? - Are you able to join other servers?

I tend to get the same issue multiple times in a day, usually it is either to your internet connection being disrupted while loading in or when your computer allocates too much resources to other stuff and the connection somehow drops because of that.

So my questions to you are.
What are your computer specs?
Do you have a STABLE connection?
Ethernet cable or WiFi?
Do you do anything else while loading in?
Are you on fullscreen, borderless or windowed mode?

How much ram do you have? Having to many tabs open in the background can fill up your ram space and cause you to crash.

I think it's just let me join, but if it crashes again I'll try that.

EDIT: I'll try that now
