Server Connection Problems

(Nazi Cupcake) #1

I am having problems logging on to my regular server. It says there is a protocol mismatch, and I am curious as to what I should do in order to fix it. The entire message is:

Error: Protocol Mismatch between Client and Server.

The server you attempted to join is runn an incompatible version of the game. You or the server may be running an older version of the game. Press the auto update button if it appears on the main menu.

There is no auto update button on my menu, and I attempted to install the Patch 2.60 and it prevented ET from starting up.

How should/can I fix this?

The server seems to have switched then. Check a server browser like ASE or a tracker to find out what version your server uses.

2.60 has no problems, you just need to configure it properly on your system. (Firewall, other settings…)

What is the server ip?

Okay, the server runs on 2.60, and I’m just having trouble with the patch. Whenever I install the patch then try to start ET, I get the message:

The dynamic link libray DINPUT8.dll could not be found in the specified path C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein-Enemy Territory;.;C:\WINNt\system32;C:\WINNT\system;C:\WINNT\system32;c:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem.

And the console doesn’t even open.

The Server IP is 63.209.33.245:27960

That DLL has to do with Directx. Reinstall or update Directx.
