Zandronum 3.1 error

#1

Post by JoseJuega750 » Sat Mar 19, 2022 5:59 am

Hello, I come to ask for help with an error that I have in my zandronum, when I try to enter any server it tells me that my version is out of date and that I have 3.0 when the necessary one is 3.1 but I installed several times and in different ways version 3.1 and there is no way to fix it, any help?

It sounds like Doomseeker (or whatever server browser you use) is still configured to load your old Zandronum 3.0 executable when you try connecting to servers instead of 3.1. FYI, the default installation locations are different between 3.0 and 3.1, so you probably have both versions installed on your computer right now. You need to reconfigure your server browser to find your 3.1 executable, wherever you installed it (by default, it's installed in your AppData folder).

Are you having the exact same issue as JoseJuega750? It would help if you could elaborate what is your issue.

May be i am wrong. But its opposite. Through Linux install we have 3.1 ver of zandronum but servers is on 3.0 version may be that cause connection issue?

PS I have dual boot. On Win7 i have installed zandronum 3.0 and all works and connects perfect, issue only on Linux with zandronum 3.1

The client and server have to be using the same version of Zandronum, so you will not be able to connect to a 3.0 server with a 3.1 client.

If the server is stuck on 3.0, then it should be updated to 3.1 too. For other servers that might still be running on 3.0, there's nothing that we can do about that. If you're also using 3.0 on Windows 7 then I suggest updating it to 3.1 so that you're up to date on everything.

After looking at the screenshots that you posted, I noticed that you're loading FreeDoom as the IWAD. Most servers load DOOM.wad or DOOM2.wad, and there will be authentication issues if you're using the wrong IWAD. Make sure that Doomseeker can find your commercial IWADs if you have them installed. Also, it's no longer necessary to load NewTextColours_260.pk3 because the extra colour codes have officially been added to Zandronum since 3.1.

Awesome! :biggrin: Yes now after download commercial IWADs Tnt.wad Plutonia.wad Doom3.WAD Doom2.wad Doom1.WAD and put them to zandronum folder i can connect to servers, except QCDE with use old 3.0 ver Thanks a lot man! :smile:

Code: Select all

freeartist@devuan:/usr/games/zandronum$ ./zandronum
Zandronum 3.1 - 211211-2135 - SDL version
Compiled on Dec 14 2021
Using video driver x11

M_LoadDefaults: Load system defaults.
Gameinfo scan took 0 ms
Cannot find a game IWAD (doom.wad, doom2.wad, heretic.wad, etc.).
Did you install Zandronum properly? You can do either of the following:

1. Place one or more of these wads in ~/.config/zandronum/.
2. Edit your ~/.config/zandronum/zandronum.ini and add the directories of your
iwads to the list beneath [IWADSearch.Directories]

freeartist@devuan:/usr/games/zandronum$
