"Bad Version" when joining multiplayer server with

Recommended Posts

Ive recently purchased a new PC and installed Arma ver 1.08.5263 on this PC.

Basacly, I installed the German DVD version, applied the 1.05 int. patch, then the 1.05 -> 1.08 patch, wich has always worked fine on my old PC.

However, when trying to access our Clan's server, I get a message saying "Bad connection, connection refused by server".

Now this is odd, as the very same game with the very same update files works fine on my old PC and joins our clan server just fine.

Can anyone come up with a reasonable explanation to how this can be??

Cheers

Gilbert

nope. if it was the firewall, i wouldn't even be able to locate the server

Why would it not? If I turn my Firewall settings onto highest I can still see all the Servers, just not connect.

However, If I drop the security settings down a notch I can see them all and connect to them ... wink_o.gif

The "Bad Version" message will also be shown when the server

has equalModRequired active and you try to contact with a

different set of modfolders.

So try joining without any modfolders/addons, if you didn't do so yet.

I've tried that as well..

My addons are exactly the same as those of our server.

As I said earlier, i have two identical ArmA versions on 2 different PCs. One work, the other don't.

(and no, im not logging on to the server with both at once) tounge2.gif
