This is repeated a million times when someone connects with the wrong engine version. Happens more often lately.

Code: Select all

[f=0034173] Connection attempt rejected: Wrong network version: 6, required version: 96 (Message ID: A Network version: 
[f=0034186] Connection attempt rejected: Wrong network version: 6, required version: 96 (Message ID: A Network version: 
[f=0034199] Connection attempt rejected: Wrong network version: 6, required version: 96 (Message ID: A Network version: 
[f=0034210] Connection attempt rejected: Wrong network version: 6, required version: 96 (Message ID: A Network version: 
[f=0034222] Connection attempt rejected: Wrong network version: 6, required version: 96 (Message ID: A Network version: 
[f=0034235] Connection attempt rejected: Wrong network version: 6, required version: 96 (Message ID: A Network version: 
I guess it's the games responsibility to reduce the amount of msg (the console spam), but it would help if the engine would add the users name to the msg, so other players know who it is and can chat to the user about his problem.

PS: I would report this via mantis, but I cannot search there, so maybe it's a duplicate, so I decided to post it here, which is probably equally wrong...

To be bit more precise, the annoying part is that players who are already ingame get spammed by those messages when a new player/spec wants to connect midgame.

example replay (but it bit long)

Or do you mean it does not work for you?
