I've downloaded RA3, but cannot run any maps in mod... But mod may be functionally, what I've seen on videos at youtube. I launch any ra map and the game will return me to menu. How to run any ra map without returning into menu?

The console should tell you what's wrong.

It writes:
Code:
*****************
ERROR: Client/Server game mismatch: RA3-4
*****************

What does it mean?

EDIT: I've tried to connet into any server and at connect screen I've seen this message:
Code:
Version mismatch C-999.-999-999/S1.76._

Have I any wrong version or installation of mod?

The RA3 server program version (number) you have is different from the RA3 client program version (number). They need to be the same.
You should get the latest version of each, that way it should work :up:

Or the release isn't full?

If you are using RA3 version 1.76 as the client, what version is the server running when you try to connect to it? They have to be the same.

I don't know it. The server hasn't written version. It only shows the error.

But my biggest problem is running any map in localhost. The game will skip into main menu.

chek your console for any errors when the game crash. Go in the console and check what happened when you tried to load the map. Not giving any details regarding your problem will not help us help you. For the server, you can also use a dedicated client for server browser like qtracker to browse the server list and at the same time check the version of the mods running on any server.

I don't understand it...
I've connected to a server with 1.76 RA3 version, but it still kicks me to main menu...

I'm done now! I leave it now... No way for this...

No, I haven't. Well, can you give me an IP address also with port to connect?

I don't have any quake browsers installed right now, but I found this:

http://www.quakeservers.net/quake3/servers/mod=ra3/

What you want to do is to ensure that when you load up quake3 you change the mod to arena. You can do this through the menu. Alternatively, you can use "quake3.exe +set fs_game arena" to the command line of your shortcut.

Once the mod is loaded, type /connect ip, where ip is the actual address.

Let us know what happens.

are you getting the awaiting challenge issue on other servers?

Also, I'm not sure if punkbuster is still being used these days, but if it is, you'll need it installed to connect.
