Dropped due to invalid user info?

[slump]

Dropped from DM, Vanilla and now Railz with the same message "Invaild User Info".   I haven't been changing my user info, but it seems when I start up Quake2 and attempt my first connect to one of these servers... right after I join, I get dropped with a message about invalid user info.   I'm not sure what is causing it.  Can you re-add me back to these servers and if you have any tips on what could be causing the server to think my userinfo is invaild..... that would be helpful.

Thanks.

I saw that. 

Try moving your autoexec and config.cfg and see if you can connect.  If you can, you can add your settings back incrementally to find the problem.

If you can't, post back.

Hmm. 

sheridan-060701.log:21673:[2006-07-01 22:29] EXPLOIT: Client slump[216.63.xxx.xxx:27901] supplied an illegal userinfo string: \msg\0\spectator\0\gender\female\fov\120\rate\3skinskin\female/stiletto\name\slump\hand\0

It definitely looks like something got garbled there around the "rate\3skinskin\female" part.

Not sure what would cause that. Which Q2 client do you use?

I removed my config.cfg and I don't have an autoexec.  I thought everything was fine, but tonight it dropped me again from railz.  I was using the name "slick".

I'm running Windows XP.  with the Quake II 3.20 update. 

I can re-install from scratch.  Please let me know if anyone has run into something similar or has any idea on what could be causing the grabling.

Thanks.

What does it say when you type rate and skin in console? Also check your clientsettings by typing: userinfo
You should see something like this; (note that your settings might be different)

User info settings:
spectator           0
gender              female
fov                 110
rate                8000
msg                 1
skin                female/venus
name                Pan.
hand                2

I do remember getting kicked off a server after using the msg command and changing it from the default value '1' to '4' (in order to disable the messages; didn't work btw.)
