i get to the "joining game" part of the loading then it just sits there and does something, like instead of reloading the lua for mods it just doesnt do anything

#

42.13.2 btw

So far this has been occurring when there's a version mismatch between client and server. I assume you've updated your client to 42.13.2, but have you correctly updated your server?

#

Many people, myself included, forgot a step with that this morning.

#

If you're the server administrator, you can confirm your server's version by looking at the first line of it's _DebugLog file, which should have the version number about halfway through the line.

its servers other people can/are playing on

Can you try switching your client back to 42.13.1?

thanks king

No problem! Just note that this means the server you're playing on isn't actually updated to 42.13.2, it may be helpful to point the server's administrator(s) to #1462838933799833715 message on how to do that on Windows if using SteamCMD. It's similar on Linux.

@hard canyon

#

already is

hard canyon
#

So are you trying to access a 42.13.1 server or a 42.13.2 server?

delicate oxide
#

where can i find what beta is my server ^

hard canyon
#

It's not your server, correct?

delicate oxide
#

i have acces but no its not mine

#

should i ask to put the Beta old^

hard canyon
#

So that server's on the unstable branch, which is 42.13.2. Your client is on 42.13.1. You need to switch to the unstable branch to play in that server.

delicate oxide
#

this one?

hard canyon
#

Yes.

delicate oxide
#

would you recommand to stay on 42.13.1

#

and change de server

hard canyon
#

I've been playing on my server that I updated from 42.13.1 to 42.13.2, and have had no issues with it. However, the developers have warned that issues can happen when upgrading the same save to the new version.

#

So it's up to you. If you upgrade I recommend having your server administrator make a backup before upgrading if you do.

delicate oxide
#

i see so i could stay on .1 thanks for all your help this should be pin somewhere!

hard canyon
#

Yes, you can stay on 42.13.1 if you choose, but any server you join will also need to be on 42.13.1.

delicate oxide
#

got it. wow all those thing i did for a simple fix like this

#

at lease now my game is intalled on a SSD M2

hard canyon
#

Yep. I agree it wasn't exceptionally clear that they put 42.13.2 on the unstable branch rather than a separate branch like they did with 42.13.1.

#

The patch notes technically state this in the title ("42.13.2 UNSTABLE HOTFIX Released" vs. "42.13.1 BETA HOTFIX Released"), but still.

that's my bad i am french so technical words but yeah thanks a lot
