Game Incompatible "Lobby"

Post by Andrie »

I am just wondering why different warzone versions are incompatible on the lobby server for example 3.1 beta 11 cant join 2.3.9. :stressed: :hmm:

Differences in stats, behavior, etc. would've most likely caused desyncs. In fact, I believe that this sort of "problem" occurs with the vast majority of games nowadays, though usually, we don't experience them since they're automatically updated.

The whole network engine is completely rewritten from scratch in 3.1.
These two versions just won't understand each other.

Each new beta has fixes that make the older ones obsolete.
You could go read the change log on each release it would save everyone a lot of time explaning the obveious!
