Hi there...I'm new to Natual Selection and I'm very eager to get playing...but unfortunately I'm having some problems getting to that point. When I go to play a game I get a message that says the following:

Your .dll [cl_dlls/client.dll] differs from the server's.

Now...Natural Selection(Beta) comes up in my Third Party Games...and I can get to the starting screen and create my own game, but when I try to join a server I get that message...Please help if you know what to do...

Also...I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about other games on these forums, but I'm having trouble running Vampire Slayer also. It doesn't appear in Third Party Games or let me get to the starting screen. It just gives the following message:

Could not find filesystem dll to load

Please help if you can...Thanks!

QUOTE (Thansal's Guide On How To Friken Install NS V3.0 Beta 5)

This will install beta 5 no matter what you have done before, so start at the begining!
1) Install Steam (Get the one with the HL cash if you can), if you have already installed Steam you may skip this step
2) Play HL Via Steam (just load up the training mission and then quit)
3) Search Your Hard Drive for NS and NSP
4) Deleate ALL Folders with these names.
4a) If you have a previously working install of an earlier version that you wish to keep: You can rename all NS folders to NSBUP and leave the NSP Folders alone.
4b) If you have a previous install of NS, and wish to keep your configs, cimply copy your .cfg filles (normaly just config.cfg and userconfig.cfg, to your desktop)
5) Close Steam.
6) Run the Beta 5 installer (ns_install_v3_b5.exe)
6a) Point the installer at Steam\SteamApps\Your@email\Half-Life
6b) If you backedup your config files, now is the time to move them to your NS folder.
7) Launch Steam
8) Change your filters so that the point at Natural Selection(Beta 5) Instead of Natural Selection (Beta)
9) Connect and play.
10) If you get any errors (map.bsp, client.dll, or ANYTHING:
a) Search your HDD for NS, there should only be a dir called NS in your Steam\SteamApps\Your@email\Half-Life\NS, unless you backed up a previous install.
b) If it is ANYWHERE elese, try moving it to the correct place, or simply deleate it and start again.

If you still get map.bsp errors, or client.dllrors, start from step 3 again.
If you are POSITIVE that you hvae folowed the directions correctly, then redownload ns_install_v3_b5.exe from another location.
