Protocol version mismatch?

by Sailorman » Post

I am having an error when trying to log into most minetest servers. The error reads: "Protocol version mismatch. Server supports protocol versions between 24 and 32. We only support protocol version 36."

Any help with this issue will be greatly appreciated :).

Download a stable 0.4.16 build, do not use 0.5.0-dev as a regular player.

To clarify: you can use 0.5.0-dev as a player if you're willing to accept a buggier game, however you won't find many servers to connect to. You also can't use any 0.5.0-dev worlds in 0.4.x, and we may break compatiblity between 0.5.0-dev commits without warning

Ok. How will I install minetest 0.4.16? I am on ubuntu 16.04.1. I installed 0.5 using aptitude in the terminal.

You can use the PPA to get the latest stable version: (installation instructions are there too)
https://launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+ar ... ntu/stable
Or compile it yourself by checking out the git branch "stable-0.4" before running "make".

EDIT: I see you already found an outdated PPA.. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18961
Look, I programmed a bug for you. >> Mod Search Engine << - Mods by Krock - DuckDuckGo mod search bang: !mtmod <keyword here>
