Hey guys!

I was hoping you could help me with the following issue: When I am trying to joing a server, i sometimes get the error message "server uses protocol version 69/70/71". The thing i dont understand is, that i actually have version 1.32(c) installed (console tells me the same) and that i thought 68 is the newest and last protocol version of quake 3?? I have been searching some days now and couldn't find anything that could help me solve this problem!!

Thanks for reading:)

Zdif

afaik there are no official patches after 1.32 by id software, but there might be unofficial patches from third-party programmers which may use higher protocols. I could be wrong though.

Just by looking some infos of the first server in your list :

protocol 69
qvm_version Lakitu7's QVM 5.5 (Oct 9 2011, 08:39:21)
sv_dlURL http://blogwtf.com
version tremulous 1.1.0_SVN1116 linux-x86_64 Jan 15 2012

So the first server in the list is not a Quake 3 server but a Tremulous server, I would recommend dl and installing the mod before trying to connect.

I haven't checked the others from your list but you can use Qtracker to first take a look at teach of these servers and figure what are they are running.

Tremulous is a stand alone game based on the Q3 source by the way, so it's not a mod you run on top of quake 3

hey thanks guys i really appreciate that you helped me out! But there's a server left, which should start up. But as a matter of fact it freezes during awaiting challenge...

i was looking up the server information and it says game version ops 1.03a. i installed the mod but i am still not connecting. could you tell me if you can connect? thank you really much!

if its a protocol mismatch you can try and get yourself a version switcher, so you can play on servers that still run 1.31, or even older...

Does it actually freeze or crash the game or is it simply not continuing into the game (the numeric counter keeps on counting)

bring down the console (~) when trying to connect and check the last lines of it to get the error msg as to why you can't connect.

I get the error from PunkBuster when tried to load map in TA by SP menu. I don't understand, why PB doesn't allow colors in nick? It discards all special characters including the ^ used for colors... After removeal the color settings in nick the game works fine...

Screen freezed on Awaiting gamestate... and in background it was typing PB blocation, which I've reached by opening console...
