'This version of RO:Ostfront is incompatible with the server you are connecting to.'

[Borat]

Strike, all I did was as is mentioned above. Open Steam, select File->Change User (which you say you have done), then I logged out, closed Steam (from the System Tray also) then logged in again.

That did it for me. It really is frustrating how Valve / Steam is so dodgy. So far I think I have had nearly all the problems mentioned in these forums and have managed to rectify them.

Let me know if you still have these problems and I'll try to suggest some other actions (if I can).

There are two different messages that are popping up, one has a solution, and one doesn't, I believe.

"Can't Connect - The version you are running is different from the servers"

Is solvable by logging in/out as has been said.

'This version of RO:Ostfront is incompatible with the server you are connecting to.'

I believe is a separate message and issue, caused by the server not being able to auth your steam account.


I'm pretty sure that a solution would be to make a new steam account and re-buy RO, but I'm really not prepared to spend another $25 to test my hypothesis.

 

[TLP]

Thanks Borat !

Did as you stated and all is well.

Kewl Game !!

 

[Viscid]

Well I caved and blew the extra $25.

I made a new Steam account, and bought RO again. Works like a charm. I'm just down another $25.

I think somehow the steam auth servers aren't aware that my other account has access to play RO, even though I bought it and the game appears playable.

Oh well.

Dint work for me man, weird thing is sometimes i can connect to a server but most often I get the 'this version of RO:Ostfront is incompatible with the server you are connecting to" message.

Ok a FIX that worked for me, Validate the game. After that the problem went away.

Yes, try right-clicking on the Red Orchestra game icon in your "My Games" list in Steam. Hit Properties, Local Files, and select the third option, Verify intergrity of game cache...

That should start verifying your game and it should work properly after you've done this.

 

[Cappo]

It does not help and I checked already all
- user's change
-erasing files
-Verify intergrity of game cache

 

[Strike]

Doesn't work for me either, i'm getting a "connection failed" message now as well but I suppose I"ll deal with that after that 'This version of RO:Ostfront is incompatible with the server you are connecting to.' thing is gone.
Like Cappo said nothing works, do we even know if this is a steam related problem or a RO one?

Strike, read my messages. It's a steam related issue and the only way I could solve it was to make a new steam account, and buy RO again.

Ok, so far I have managed to play after a "This version of RO:Ostfront is incompatible with the server you are connecting to" error by doing naff all.

I played on friday night, couldn't on saturday morning, could saturday afternoon, would not work on sunday.

On sunday I tried logging out and into steam to no avail, was tempted to go for the bull in a china shop approach and buy the game again, but i've got the feeling that this will not work for everybody

 

[jones0430]

Is Steam not providing support on this issue?

[Jimbo]

I had exactly the same problem after installing a dedicated RO server on my gaming machine... I fixed it after reading a previous post from BORAT ... all I did was log completely out of steam by going to view->settings and 'login as a different user...' this logged me out and closed down steam... which then reoppened and asked me to logon... once I logged on again all was well... This has worked for me... so far..

 

[dijohertz]

ez rollers i have the same issue... i used to be able to play now i cant... why is this all of a sudden happining... starting not to like steam first the norton 2006 problem now this...

 

[dijohertz]

Me too!

(btw, I think it only lets you play on non-vac secured servers.)

 

[FL1NT]

Same problem. I dont know what happend, but today i cant connect to any server. Logout and verifying files doesnt help.

I have this message everytime


or 'Connection Failed, click OK'

And btw, all my friends from Steams 'Friends list' have disappeared!

WTF ?
