Connecting to a 1.46 server with 1.49?

[Jocko Flocko 0]

I recently did a clean install of OFP version 1.20, and then I installed Resisitance. It brought OFP up to 1.49, and res upto 1.75. I can't seem to connect to a 1.46 server using the 1.49 executable, should I be able to? I keep getting the error message "version rejected by server" or something to that tone.

Thanks.

God knows where you got 1.49 but that was an update for the dedicated server only, it was made to fix some bugs with 1.46 Dedicated server and was only supposed to be released for beta testing. In other words, unless you are running a Dedicated server you did not need to run this update and have just converted your installation of OFP into 1.49 server setup rather than 1.46 ofp client. (Been a while since my server was 1.49, it could also just be a replacement server executable and the underlying OFP is not affected.)

You need to reinstall, overwrite everything and update to 1.46 using the standard patches. I don't know why OFP:Res upgrades your OFP to 1.49, I would find it extremely strange if this was the case. But if it is, it's best to run download the updates, update your installation to 1.46 and then install Resistance.

When connecting to OFP 1.46 servers you will need to run the old OFP executable, when connecting to 1.75 resistance servers you would need to run the Resistance exe.

I have no idea why you would want to play on old 1.46 servers when Resistance servers are out there but I leave that to you.
