[Solved] Crash on trying to join older version
« on: January 06, 2010, 07:11:41 am »
A user, yllamana, tried to join a 1.006 game with his 2.0 game got a crash instead of a version mismatch message, apparently without leaving an unhandlederrors file.

I tried joining a 2.0 game with 2.001ZL and it worked out just fine, giving the failure message as expected. I've not tried this with versions older than 2.0, though I may at some point to see if this happens with older versions.

Yep, this was a known issue fixed in the 2.001 prereleases.  It will still occur for people with older versions of the game (2.0 and back) trying to connect to other even-older versions.
