[SOLVED but not RESOLVED] Problem with Linux 1.80 trying to join Windows server 1.82 with Legacy Ports

[maestro_armero 0]

Hello, 

 

I am a Linux user with 1.80 (latest) and my group is updated to 1.82 in a server Window. To try to continue playing with them, we unlocked on the server the "Arma3LegacyPorts" and downloaded the 1.80. As per: 

 

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Steam_Branches

 

The thing is that from here on, we do not know how to continue. Our windows server is still launching the 1.82 and my 1.80 linux is not even seeing  the server (refuse to connect). We are unable to locate any info to proper configure the server or how to enable the legacy port on the server. Even if it is possible to still be playing with them.

 

[EDIT: solved but not resolved. At last we keep trying and finally the server got down to 1.80, thru legacy ports, and I was able to connect with my linux, but neither other 1.82 client, in this case, windows clients was able to connect. So, there is no backward compatibility and you are stick to connect with a server matching your version (legacyport is not helping here). I think that this is a half solution and a real problem for the port versions (linux and mac) that are condemned to wait (and stay out of the game with yuor group) until versions catched. Huuuum ... not very helpful to the linux and mac gamming community). The only solution is to form linux/mac or windows separate groups, which is not a vantage, because in an intended community game this is not good)]

 

Is anyone on this same situation?

 

PS: Sorry about my english.

 

Bye and many thanks

All the windows clients should have opted to legacy branch, that is to have their version at 1.80 too.

Yes. Clients with superior version (for example 1.82) are not able to connect or enter in a server with a lesser version (following the same example, a server with 1.80), which I can't understand why not. There is not backward compatibility.

 

Bye
