You may see an error message stating there is a "Client/server game build revision mismatch" when trying to connect to a server:
How to fix this issue?
A possible solution for this error is to change your client update channel to a different one. Alternatively, you may reach out to the server owner for help.
To change the game's update channel, please follow these instructions:
- Open the game. In the main menu, click on the settings button (stylized as a gear), which is on the top right corner next to the close button:
-
Now that the settings menu is open, click on "Game":
3. You can select between three update channels. A game restart is needed for the changes to apply:
Release is our main stable channel and is the default when you download the client.
Beta is the next step of testing changes that eventually make it to Release, which may still contain bugs or issues not present in the Release channel.
Latest (Unstable), also known as canary, is where we test experimental changes and is not recommended for players.If you are experiencing issues on Beta or Latest (Unstable) we recommend changing back to Release.
Why can't I connect to this server?
There is a game build revision mismatch between the server you are playing on and the client.
This is a new system we've implemented to ensure backwards compatibility between minor game builds while simultaneously allowing us to support newer game versions in a faster and safer way, with the added ability to restrict players from joining incompatible servers.
Please note, this is normally a temporary issue. Once all the client update branches have all the required changes to support the new game build revision and server owners update to the latest artifacts, this error should not appear.
