Pretty straight forward, somewhere between you and the server the connection is interrupted. If it still does not work in an hour, upload your log (see my signature).

Did a clean install and ran the "verify integrity of game cache" and its working fine.

I bought the game through steam by the way.

Now I see the mod list. :)

SO MANY OMG!!!

I looked around and installed LONG REACH and its working fine.

Thanks for the help :D

One quick question. In the wiki there's a console section that's showing me stuff I can do.

Will running the console commands affect my achievements and other stuff? Please advise.

Thanks again

Every command starting with /c will prevent you from getting achievements later on, but it will warn you.
