Servers Questions

[ANdro!d]

Guys, I'm just tired of these message: "wrong map version". It appears many times when I enter a server and then my game is aborted and then I get that message, like a message saying for example: "server is full".
And I don't know why but when I request servers, they just appear deathmatch, is it because of my ping or something like that ?

Chose "All gametypes" or whatever in the filter box

That' won't help anything.


This error is a combination client-side/server-side bug that will be fixed in the next client version of soldat; it affects custom maps with less than 3 sceneries used. The only workaround at this time is to load the last map that the server played, then join. In the case that the map is the first one that the server has played, due to a recent (re)start, quitting soldat and reopening will allow you to join. Beyond that there is nothing you, nor anyone else, can do to prevent this until the next version of Soldat.

Is that officia planning for another version chris or merely speculation?

[chrisgbk]

Not speculation, it's fact... the only thing not known is WHEN the new client will come out, being as MM is busy with Crimson. So yes, it is coming, just it will probably not happen until next year or later. So don't get your hopes up for a release anytime soon.

My god, I just can't whait 4 the next version of soldat to play online. And the problem is that a new version of soldat is rarely launched.

EDIT: PLEASE, someone give me a solution, I wanna play online but I can't because of that ****ing message ("wrong map version") always aborting my games when I enter the servers.

Lets see... you have less than 3 pieces of scenery.... how are we going to fix it so you have more then 3 piece of scenery. I cant seem to figure this one out. How do you solve this problem?

If you cant figure it out give up now.

Like I already said, there is no solution, only a not-so-easy workaround, other than to only play on servers that either do not use custom maps, or use maps that do not suffer from the bug.

The problem is that modifying the map here will have no effect, because the servers version is the problem. Even if he adds sscenery on his end, when he connects the server will send him it's copy because they won't match. This isn't a "How do I avoid the WMV bug", it's a "How do I connect to a server that uses maps that suffer from the WMV bug" question.
