    Description

    After updating and trying to join today: "Connection to server refused: version mismatch" comes up in the (in-game/menu) red dialogs, then the game closes.

    Using "repair installation" in the W3Dhub launcher does not fix this problem.

    I did recently "import" the game, but I would have thought that the update and/or repair feature would fix any potential problems.

    EDIT: removing/renaming the apb folder and rei-installing does not fix this problem.

    Question

    Could having extra files in the game folder (eg my dvvk-cache and .log files) potentially cause the mismatch error?

    File dates & md5sums

    That's not usual - if some of the binaries changed but some were unchanged it'll take the older ones from a previous patch and combine them with the subset of new ones in the newer patch.

    It mainly happens when installing from scratch or installing multiple updates at once

    Could someone with a working copy of 3.5 please post the MD5sums of their game files?  I can compare them with the list I posted above and find which downloaded zip/patch the difference comes from.

    Eg:

    1. Download md5sum for windows
    2. Extract it to your apb install folder
    3. Open CMD.exe and navigate to your apb install folder
    4. Run "md5sums.exe *"
    5. Copy + paste the results

    If this problem is caused by inconsistent file variants then we should be able to work it out pretty quickly.

    New info:

    • DXVK and those extra files are unrelated, the same error occurs without them
    • My game is sending the wrong version number to the server, so it thinks I'm running the wrong version of the game.
    • I have a hunch this could be due to subtle string handling differences between Wine & Win that (until now) have not caused any major issues other than occasional corrupt newlines in chat.
