Lately I have been attempting to play MP. However, despite using Battlezone 1.4 and the latest 1.5 patch, and RO, none of them have worked.

Latest 1.5 Patch: Not very many people, and trying to join any game that IS there results in "Mission version mismatch, please upgrade."
BZ 1.4: The most hopeful one, and I messed around finally joining a Strat game on the map "Bridges". But, just as I spawned and began building in a strat game for my first time :D suddenly I got the message "connection to game server lost." I repeatedly tried to reconnect to the game, but after the first time the game never created my player succesfully....................................fail. Either that or in the launch screen, a message would pop up saying I couldn't connect to the game. And then somebody else joined the strat game, filling it up and blocking me out.
RO: Either mission version mismatch or the games that were being played were using maps not in the RO addon.
In all three games, I created my own game (separately of course) but nobody ever joined.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH! :evil: Sorry, but I am really ticked at the moment. Is there any advice somebody can give me, why my player cannot be made in 1.4 or what exactly this "mission version mismatch" means? Help!

Thanks in advance.

AFTER I HAVE COOLED DOWN: Sorry, I should have posted this in Tech support. Also, I use wireless internet with a laptop... would this cause connection problems?

When in 1.5, check the date of your version by typing "/version" in lobby. If your version is older, download the latest .exe file from Ken Miller's section on the forums, called "New Build (date)". You only need to replace the executable file in your Battlezone 1.5 folder.

Also keep in mind that you can't join RO games when you are in original BZ and vise versa. That also gives a Mission version mismatch message.

Another thing, the message "connection to game server lost" does not have to mean you lost connection to the game, as it is mostly seen when the server resets. The game can continue, because in a BZ game the host becomes server.

I hope thats enough information, good luck. :)

Huh, that's funny. I noticed when that message appeared that there were no more enemies floating around. When I first began, I noticed some units hovering dangerously close to discovering my Recy, and in a panic I began building scouts. Then the message appeared, and I saw no more red. :shock: Thanks for the info. :D Much appreciated!
