Client needs update, but is up-to-date ?

Just downloaded the new .60b1 .exe. It plays fine in singleplayer (love those new Annihilators, btw), but when I try to connect to the server, it gives me an "Client out of date. Please update" error.

I've already registered and downloaded the multiplayer client off of PW's homepage ... anyone else get this ?

The client that comes with the new regular installer connects to the PW server, yes.
I just installed the new regular installer on top of my old Spring configuration and it worked fine. I had a PW account beforehand. I believe you can get one at their site.

Imho, the current registration process isn't at all clear. It needs to be pointed out a bit better.

You don't need the PhoenixWorX client, you just need to register on PhoenixWorX and then you can log in on the Spring's client.

My PW client (the one in the default 60 install) is giving me some errors to. I get a 'bad message' when I connect, and I can't type in the chatroom at all. Strange because earlier today it was working fine.
