The "engine mismatch" error is because you are running a client that is of a different version than the server you are connecting to. When you start the game and to go "multiplayer" in the upper right corner is your current version. The current one is "KF version 1001". Unless a new patch comes out soon, if it says "KF version 1000" you are NOT patched. To fix this restart Steam client. And before this thread is filled with "It should be autoupdated" posts lets face the obvious, it isnt.

If you still get this problem, try another server as the server might not be updated.

What? I'm just posting this because I've had to give this advice many times today and people seem to lack the ability to use the search function when browsing forums... This is just to make clear that the error is EITHER about the server not being updated or the client not being updated and you can check the version of the client in the menu upper right corner and if it is 1001 it means the server is not updated and to try another server.
