Spring RTS Engine

I install windows portable version: and i was not able to play online cause both TAS and springlobby tells me same msg:
No compatible installed spring version: this serveur requires 88.0 and you current installed version ARE: 88


I tryed no portable installation, but checkboxing spring portable: same results

I am running XP 2003 serveur

hi,

same problem

WARNING: Until SpringLobby is patched 1) !CLOSE! SL, 2) edit springlobby/springlobby.conf and change DisableVersionCheck to 1

and for windows ?

I'm using tasclient under windows and still searching how to disable that check

The hack for those using TASclient is to disable version checking with CTRL+SHIFT+F6

Ok thanks

TASCLIENT ISSUE
To fix it (viewed by vbs) :
Press ******** CTRL-SHIT-F6 ********* in tasclient to disable version check

win7: use the searchfunction to find springlobby.conf or look under c:user(or users)\"name"\appdata\roaming\springlobby\springlobby.conf


open the file(after you exit springlobby) and change disableversioncheck from 0 to 1 and save it...

Why was the full version set for server anyways? Since I don't know when SL checks the set minimum server wide version only against https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/d ... _api.h#L79
so anyone with compatible unsynced version can play too. Is that not wanted anymore?

I was a bit surprised too, but it seems Licho set it that way on purpose and said it was agreed months ago.

I couldn't remember that either and there's no forum thread or similar about it. Apparently there was talking in some channel with some people some time months ago.
I've agreed to change the checking in SL in time for 89 if the version on server for this release is set to plain 88, like it has been since 83.

Licho changed it to 88 now, so SL clients should be fine again. that is, untill next release, which will be set to 89.0, most likely.
it is possible to support both at the same time: if (version contains '.'), then useBeforeDotForSyncCheck else useWholeVersionString.

someone should write down the decission to the lobbyprotocol:
