Client/Server Version Conflict

[Blodge]

Hi,

I am running a Linux Ubuntu installation of StarMade as a Server and using a Windows 7 installation as a client. When I try to connect to the Server the Client gives the below error message:

RuntimeException

Server 192.168.1.1:4242 Your client version is not allowed to connect.
Please download the correct version with the launcher.
Client Version: 0.199.651
Server Version: 0.199.535
The server has not yet updated to your version.

However, when I log into the Server and issue the command:
ubuntu@B1051:~/starmade$ java -jar ./StarMade-Starter.jar -nogui

I get the following output:

You Are Already on the Newest Version: use -force to force an update
ubuntu@B1051:~/starmade$

The last line of this output indicates to me that I am actually running release version 0.199.651 on the Server.

I have tried running the java -jar ./StarMade-Starter.jar -nogui and including -force at the end as the output message suggests, but it makes no difference.

Can anyone advise where I am going wrong and why my Client thinks the Server is running an older version than the Server does?


Thanks in advance.

This looks indeed odd.

I have only one possible cause for this:
The server files are up to date, but the server itself was never shutdown and restarted.

I assume the console commands were run on the server machine, and the first log part is from your local client.
I would suggest checking for any java processes on the host machine and end them.
(Either by connecting to the server with the previous version, and using the /shutdown command, or by killing the processes/rebooting the machine, both of those should not harm as there should not be unsaved data.)

Then start the server on the machine again and try to connect to it.

Correct, the output from issuing the java -jar command was from the Server. The RuntimeException message was from the main menu in the client after a failed connection attempt.

I have already shutdown and re-started the Server several times and re-booted the computer it is running on at least twice. The Client machine has been left switched off for a day between attempts to re-connect.
The only thing I haven't tried along those line is powering-off the Server machine and leaving it off for several minutes, before switching back on again and re-starting the Server. Reckon it's worth trying that?

 

[AndyP]

yes, completely reboot the server.

And possibly also remove the starmade.jar file in the server directory and run the update command again to check if it replaces the file.

I am pretty sure this is a running process in old version, and updated files.
(Or even some mismatch in the files itself by some corrupted or broken update, but this should be detected by it.)

I powered both machines off shortly after my post last night. I'll power on again tonight and if it still doesn't work, try deleting and re-downloading the .jar file.
Will let you know how I get on
