"Wrong game version" for online

[mortal bison]

I've tried reinstalling the game, changing files, deleting files, refreshing NAT and restarting windows network drivers, every guide and suggestion under the sun but no result....Can anyone please help me so I can play with my mate (He liked the game and I made him buy it). I play on EA and I got the ultimate bundle, Windows 10, tried running it in compability mode for XP Service pack 2 and Windows 7, as administrator. EVERYTHING. Please help me Im loosing my mind. btw for some reason every time I exit the game it requres me to fix the files bcs some of them are corrupted, I fix them and then after entering the game and leaving it shows up again and Im on version 1.05

[zinc valley]

Please undo all changes you have made to the game, maybe just reinstall it

After that; please list the version of the game you are running that is shown at the mottom of the game's options menu

[mortal bison]

I did, reinstalled it 2 times and now the game is unchanged, just the mod for online installed on it

1.05 is the version

[zinc valley]

Good, but still getting the version mismatch error?

[mortal bison]

yes unfortunatly

[brazen locust]

GG @mortal bison, you just advanced to level 2!

[zinc valley]

What did you install to make online work?

[mortal bison]

gen thing

gentool

[zinc valley]

GenTool isn't yet compatible with 1.05. So either you have to wait for GenTool to get updated or downgrade to 1.04.

[mortal bison]

my friend installed it on steam and hes works perfectly idk how

[mortal bison]

how do I downgrade?

[zinc valley]

#1346047124953104454 message

[mortal bison]

runver?

[zinc valley]

he likely downgraded

[mortal bison]

No no I guided him and he didnt do anything

just installed it

[zinc valley]

doesn't work for Generals and ZH, came after it

[mortal bison]

and has Gentool too

[mortal bison]

oh alr

[zinc valley]

Gentool doesn't work for online when using 1.05, so your friend downgraded

[mortal bison]

no no beleve me I saw his screen he is 1.05 too

idk how really lol

he got his game working just fine

[zinc valley]

Shouldn't be possible

[mortal bison]

I think I will uninstall gentool and install it again

[mortal bison]

somehow is

[zinc valley]

Because GenTool will not allow it and run in reduced features mode

[mortal bison]

if u want I can make him record his game

[zinc valley]

Because it can't verify the installation

[zinc valley]

sure he isn't just playing skirmish or lan?

[mortal bison]

he didnt play yet just an enter the game

Hes waiting for me bcs he will refund the game if it doesnt work for me too

[zinc valley]

Online really requires an update of GenTool to work with 1.05; that update hasn't come yet

[zinc valley]

the game will boot haha, doesn't mean you can get really into an online match

[mortal bison]

I mean he can join the game but idk he didnt really play online just entered a lobby

[mortal bison]

Right right

great I must torture him into installing something else hahaha

hes gonna cry

so what do u recomend?

[zinc valley]

Removing fingertips works always good for me

[mortal bison]

we downgrade?

[mortal bison]

how does that work?

I mean whats that

[zinc valley]

You get some bow cutters, put his fingers through it, snap. Repeat around 9 times more.

[zinc valley]

yeah, for now

[mortal bison]

ohhh right I might steal ur idea when I get kids lol

[zinc valley]

We're gonna be great parents

[mortal bison]

Thank you so fckn much

[mortal bison]

For sure

next step get a woman

[zinc valley]

God no 😂

[mortal bison]

[mortal bison]

[zinc valley]

[mortal bison]

Or it was somebody else

[zinc valley]

Jup, my humor is eerly similair to yours I think. Does that mean I have the mind of a 16-years old? 😛

[zinc valley]

In this case.... maybeeeeee xD

[mortal bison]

Nah u dont know how many games I've cracked fr

[mortal bison]

My dad aint gonna pay 20 bucks for singleplayer game that Im gonna play a single time hahaha

[zinc valley]

[mortal bison]

well now the servers are down as far as I know so its worthless

[zinc valley]

singleplayer still works

[mortal bison]

get some extra x-ray radiation or smt hahaha

or a boom

[mortal bison]

Yup

Its my go to game, I always have it

Nothing like cruising in a Dodge Challanger around San Francisco blasting 70'-80' songs

god that game has so much potential

btw what cars do u like?

I mean if ur not occupied we can talk lol

[zinc valley]

I've had a drivers license for like 4-6 years or so, haven't driven for years

Not interested in cars myself

[mortal bison]

Oh alr

[mortal bison]

lucky u...

[zinc valley]

More into gaming tech, their issues, their history etc.

[mortal bison]

Nice nice

I aint really into gaming besides playing

I mean Ive got almost no intrests

[zinc valley]

me the other way around haha

[mortal bison]

I like planes, music, RECENT history and cars a little bit but not really a crazy about anything

[zinc valley]

Almost never really play games for fun, but love collecting old classic games, especially when they are delisted haha

[mortal bison]

Well thats nice

What games did u collect so far?

[zinc valley]

https://steamdb.info/sales/?displayOnly=OwnedGames

and a lot of physical games

Like PC CD-ROMS

[mortal bison]

G.O.A.T

[zinc valley]

Also a lot of games on GOG and some on EA App

[mortal bison]

nothing like a physical copy

[zinc valley]

just for collection sake, never really use them

[mortal bison]

I get you

Man now my depresion kicked in when I remember my skylander disc is scratched

and cant play it

[zinc valley]

All games I own on Steam that aren't available for sale anymore

[mortal bison]

Its the first game and noone is selling just a disc for it and if I remember corectly I didnt find it on the net

[zinc valley]

Ahhhh, that sucks

[mortal bison]

wait sleeping dogs aren't available?

and dying light

[zinc valley]

Only the semi-remaster

a lot of these games are the originals before they got a kind of re-release

Often with some downsides, so want to own the original too

[mortal bison]

Man u got a lot of them

[mortal bison]

right right

Ive got my steam hacked 3 times

so

[zinc valley]

Gotta catch them all

[mortal bison]

[mortal bison]

He pays for votes from old people

[mortal bison]

Ill give u my assasin's creed American saga discs for it

actualy thats worth at least 50 bucks fr

like ac black flag alone is 40$ if I remember the last time I checked

[zinc valley]

Wait? What are we talking about now? You wanted to bet YOUR ass over something. Marking it at 50 bucks seems a bit overkill.

[mortal bison]

nope down to 12 bucks

[zinc valley]

Nope, 4

[mortal bison]

Man my ass aint shit

[mortal bison]

[zinc valley]

Yeah, physical games are expensive, but honestly AC games aren't that good sometimes

[mortal bison]

[zinc valley]

There are also girls here, we should find you someone haha

[mortal bison]

[zinc valley]

Yeah, certainly not the majority, but they are here

[mortal bison]

Pinch me

[zinc valley]

Now you want to bet my ass? How inappropriate

[zinc valley]

"He hit me. I hit him. Repeat until pulpy."

[mortal bison]

Bet all asses on this damn world

[mortal bison]

Real

[zinc valley]

I think that one is from House MD

[mortal bison]

Nice

u watch series or smt?

I mean shows like

idk how to say it in english

That shit thats like Breaking bad

or idk

shi gotta repair the game first

will it effect my down version?

[mortal bison]

hey so I got a problem

that file

makes my game go to steam

Not EA

and steam tells me Ive got no licenses

gotta repair again

[zinc valley]

I watch a lot of series haha

[zinc valley]

the downgrade file?

Someone else provided that, didn't test myself, but provide as is. If it isn't working, then I don't know. But make sure the follow the isntructions listed in the linked post

[zinc valley]

My Plex library hosted on my NAS. And yeah, also some nostalgic series from my youth... sue me haha

Oh yeah, MCU folder contains:

[placid shell]

So.... Are we waiting for gentool to finally be compatible or , how can one downgrade the zero hour version to work online? Or is there an older gentool to use in the interim.....?

[zinc valley]

Downgrade instructions: #1346047124953104454 message

[zinc valley]

no older version of GenTool will work of course if the whole problem is that GenTool needs to get an update. The maker of it is working on it, absolutely no ETA

[mortal bison]

nice nice I reccomend u watch Malcom in the middle and How I met your mother its good

[mortal bison]

Yea its taking me to steam idk why probably only for steam version

[zinc valley]

Heard many good things of the first. HIMYM... watched episodes, but gets boring for me fast. Nice character development though.

[zinc valley]

sorry man, have no other options for you

or buy the Steam version, Steam might honestly be better than EA app anyways hehe

[mortal bison]

damnn I watched something on yt to find the 1.04 version but no luck, found some indian guy that gets 1 file but gives a ling to a whole other thing

[mortal bison]

fr fr but I already bought ultimate bundle at EA for 20$, not gonna throw it away

fuck EA them pussies

Well thanks anyways

[zinc valley]

haha, probably scam?

[zinc valley]

Hey, CCHyper ain't no pussy 😛

[mortal bison]

Maybe

Found it

On C&C Labs

there is a 1.04 patch

[zinc valley]

have a link?

[mortal bison]

sure

[zinc valley]

original 1.04 patch will not apply to the new versions

[mortal bison]

https://www.cnclabs.com/downloads/generals/patches.aspx

[zinc valley]

that is the OG 1.04

[mortal bison]

shit now what

[zinc valley]

with DRM and everything

[mortal bison]

well how do I install it?

[brazen locust]

GG @mortal bison, you just advanced to level 5!

[zinc valley]

You called CCHyper a pussy as he is EA now. Should I really advise you still? 😏

[zinc valley]

you can't

[mortal bison]

Shit

[zinc valley]

I have absolutely no option for you to downgrade your EA version

[mortal bison]

He is in it now, he wasnt back then

[mortal bison]

man do I hate that

[zinc valley]

I'll accept the poor excuse 😛

[zinc valley]

Sorry man

[mortal bison]

Can I like download the cracked older version and like insert the EA stuff into it?

or smt like that

Idk Im desprate really

[zinc valley]

I've fully abandoned my EA app version and do all testing on the Steam version

[mortal bison]

I beleve it was the right call ahahah

[zinc valley]

Not gonna give any advise on that of course

[mortal bison]

mannn cmon toss me a little something over the fence

in THEORY

[zinc valley]

Just like the functionality of Steam much more

[mortal bison]

would it work

[zinc valley]

You would miss out on all recent fixes

[zinc valley]

https://tenor.com/view/throw-bone-dr-evil-austin-powers-trashtalk-help-gif-5268068

You basically ^

haha

Not gonna say more

[mortal bison]

I shit you not I cant really care less hhahah I aint that much of a pro so that it would affect me that much

just wanna have some fun with my friend against medium bots that we would barely defeat

[mortal bison]

Alrighty

Might try it but I think I wont know how to get the EA stuff into it anyways so yea

do have any idea when gentool will support 1.05?

[zinc valley]

understandable, as long as you don't encounter the serial key issue or something haha

[zinc valley]

No ETA

[mortal bison]

Man I remembered that even my dad cant crack it and all so I wont bother

[mortal bison]

shit

I will make a donation I swear

[zinc valley]

Won't speed up development though haha

[mortal bison]

Just gonna wait till it gets for 1.05 if that ever happens

[mortal bison]

Ill get some tech guys to try and help or smt

how do they even update it to fit the 1.05?

[zinc valley]

source code of ZH is available now, so he will likely re-apply all fixes, but then not using memory addresses per se, but maybe code injection. Idk

Just a wild guess

but besides him being busy with the community patch, I can see why it takes long haha

[zinc valley]

Xezon does development on his own

So, please be patient

[mortal bison]

God may his house be in good health and mood all the time

[mortal bison]

Yea I understand

huge respect for legends that are trying to make this game work lol

[zinc valley]

Yeah, Xezon has worked on it for maybe like a decade haha

or more

[mortal bison]

hes invited to my birthday
