Your version of Odamex 0.6 does not match the server 0.6.2
« on: December 20, 2012, 15:56:40 »
I decided to try out Odamex on-line via Windows this time and see what all the hype is about.


Well I created a fresh new directory and extracted the latest Odamex into it. I copied over my DOOM and DOOM2 wads and fired up Odamex. Now for some strange reason, EVERY server I try to connect to ends up giving me this message:

Your version of Odamex 0.6 does not match the server 0.6.2.

How could this be? I just downloaded 6.2.

Your version of Odamex 0.6 does not match the server 0.6.2.

When you run Odamex and type version into the console, what does it say?

I believe that the settings for odalaunch are stored in the registry in Windows. If this is the case, the launcher may be pointing to an old install of Odamex (in this case, Oda 0.6) when trying to join a server. Go to settings > file locations > Odamex Path and make sure that the path to your current 0.6.2 install is correct. If that fails, come back and let us know.
