Hi 

Literally just bought this game and whenever I try any server I get this message.

Sometimes you can fix that by either restarting computer, OR force closing Steam in task manager and restarting Steam

 

Sometimes you will also just get it randomly and trying again it will work, but sounds like you are getting it consistent so restart Steam and/or computer

  • Try restarting your modem/router (or unplug, count to 10, and plug back in) and see whether that solves it.  Is this a wireless connection or a cabled connection? Are there any others in the building (house/dorm/work/military) who might have the same IP address?
  • Try also making a test connection to a server like Otherlands, as they tend to have very good server setup & admin, and at least we can rule out it being some issue serverside. If you have a character that started to get logged in and then was disconnected, it may prevent from being able to relog back into that same server again.
  • Also, according to this thread in some cases it can happen if a character name is rejected, for length or spaces or some other reason. Try something relatively short, without spaces and without any unusual characters in it.

Most times its a players connection being a bit flakey, and most time its a server restart  that clears the error.
