Help "Connection to server has been refused: Version mismatch"

[edmundith]

So I've just downloaded the W3D Hub Launcher, and joined a server for APB. The game itself then downloaded, but when the game loaded I got an error message (in-game) saying:

 

"Admin message from Host

 

Connection to server has been refused: Version mismatch."

 

 

Then I would click "Okay.", and it would say "Joining server" for 10-20 seconds, then it would say: "Connection to server was broken. Please quit.", at which point I'd have no option but to abort.

 

 

 

This has happened for any subsequent attempt to join the server.

 

Of course, the game had just been downloaded/updated when I joined the server in the first place. Is there something else that I need to do to update the game to the correct version to the server? Because I can't find anything else on the W3D launcher, and I imagined the game would have updated itself when joining the server anyway...

 

I just want to be able to play this game again, for the first time in a few years.

Try a repair?

Try what FRAYDO's suggested. That should do the trick.

I've tried that, and I still get the same problem.

 

So I click on "Repair", and this comes up (as-if it's installing something):

 

 

Then it will say "Installed successfully", when clearly nothing has actually being installed when you look at the 'Show / Hide' menu:

 

 

And afterwards, I close the box, join the server, and the exact same thing happens as did previously.

Have you tried a complete uninstall before hitting "install" again?

Have you got a loose objects.ddb in your data folder or something? The launcher won't remove files it didn't put there in the first place.

Okay, I uninstalled everything, then reinstalled, and it works fine now thank you.

Glad it works now!
