Posted May 17, 200915 yr Hey, one of my mates has a problem about not having servers showing up after clicking the update server list... we have tryed everything to try and get these servers to show. we have tried joining by IP but it says older version, we have patched to 1.41 again and again. nothing seems to work. PLZ HELP.. :disgust: Stiller_001 http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz137/bobobobob_bucket/Stiller_001-1.png?t=1262869465 "All is Dust."
May 17, 200915 yr Reinstall bf2 from scratch, install only the 1.41 patch, then install the PR 0.85 core & levels over that. Then you'll be able to see servers http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee94/psyrus_uraya/awards-1.png QFT: Your computer is smart man.

May 17, 200915 yr Author k, i have passed that on. hope it works. http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz137/bobobobob_bucket/Stiller_001-1.png?t=1262869465 "All is Dust."
May 17, 200915 yr He probably has 0.855 (BETA) installed instead of 0.856 (current working) or something similar.
May 17, 200915 yr He hasn't installed the new BF2 patch has he ?. PR will not work with the BF2 1.5 patch installed. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee118/bahlye/bahlye007/mouse_zps73307fb2.gif
May 17, 200915 yr He shouldn't have access to the 0.855 files, so i doubt its that Stabby. http://www.bigd.com.au/_bigdfiles/sigs/mh-sig-2016-11.png
May 17, 200915 yr FYI, GSA has the 0.867 BETA patch available for download. It's quite likely he saw that version available for download and went bonkas for it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
May 17, 200915 yr Depends on who his friend is, Madhouse. If he was a BETA tester, then ofcourse he would. Or if he got the game on DVD from someone else and they copied the wrong version - it's possible and has happened before. And the point was that the detail is in the version, regardless of what those versions are or the access people may or may not have to those versions. Edited May 17, 200915 yr by efgh146
May 17, 200915 yr IT IS TOO! Reading the OP carefully, he has obviously downloaded one of the BETA 0.86 patches from a public source. Silly lad You'll have to uninstall PR completely using the Add/Remove programs function in Windows control Panel. Remove the 0.867 or whatever patch, then remove the 0.85 Core and Levels respectively. THEN re-install 0.856. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
May 17, 200915 yr FYI, GSA has the 0.867 BETA patch available for download. It's quite likely he saw that version available for download and went bonkas for it. All of the pr 0.85 test builds were never available to the public and were under the strict rules of the NDA. http://www.bigd.com.au/_bigdfiles/sigs/mh-sig-2016-11.png
May 17, 200915 yr Author ok i can tell u all now that he has 0.856 (i was the one who downloaded it) and that a reinstall of everything did not work strange..... P.S. Thanks for trying to help http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz137/bobobobob_bucket/Stiller_001-1.png?t=1262869465 "All is Dust."
May 17, 200915 yr An error saying you have an older version than the server means that you do not have v1.41, nothing else, it's just simply that. Are you sure your patching to 1.41 and not 1.4? http://www.ancientdev.com/images/devsig.png
May 17, 200915 yr Couldnt be a firewall issue? Yeah make sure he tests with his firewall off - my Kaspersky typically does not allow me to see servers. Where's the cheese? http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2315/ubd4327.png
May 18, 200915 yr Just so you know, I'm the one with the one with the problems. Me and Stiller_001 have spent the weekend attempting to resolve this. To clarify things: This error had occurred upon the release of 0.8 as well. (It was the latest version of 0.8 though I can't remember the build number.) My Project Reality Core and Levels are 0.856 and these were downloaded from the official site on the 24th of April 2009. My firewall has not blocked PR as I have checked and played it on both full screen and windowed mode. The Battlefield 2 1.41 patch was supplied directly from the EA server as well as an a second backup copy from Fileplanet, however they both failed to address this issue. I have Battlefield 2 installed. Special Forces Expansion installed. (This did not effect PR as PR had the problem before this was installed. I did a clean reinstall of BF2 then BF2SF then 1.41 patch then PR Core, PR levels, PRSP Core and finally PRSP levels. PRSP did not effect PR as this was tested before PRSP was installed.) I have not ever had any issues with punkbuster in the duration of my time playing BF2. Edited May 18, 200915 yr by inri
May 18, 200915 yr So you see BF2 1.41 servers just fine, and can join them? http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee94/psyrus_uraya/awards-1.png QFT: Your computer is smart man.

May 18, 200915 yr Go into vBF2, what is the number you see in the top right hand corner of the menu It should be 1.1.2965-797.0 To put it simply. The reason why you can't see any servers, is because the hardcoded filters for the server browser have "same version" checked. All PR servers are 1.41, so if you have a different version, you won't see any. When you connect to IP, you also see that you have an older version.

May 18, 200915 yr I can join BF2 servers completely fine. I do stress completely. (However there are no Aus servers.)
May 18, 200915 yr I hav figured it out I must have had a bad 1.41 patch i removed my old one and downloaded a new one and it works now!!! Maybe try that! That might work.
May 18, 200915 yr I can join BF2 servers completely fine. I do stress completely. (However there are no Aus servers.) What? There's plenty of Australian servers? type games.on.net in the server search bar. If nothing comes up then you know it's a BF2/firewall/router issue not a PR at all edit: http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php?vars&location=AU&game=bf2 Edited May 18, 200915 yr by Husker http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee94/psyrus_uraya/awards-1.png QFT: Your computer is smart man.

May 18, 200915 yr No, again Psyrus, it's the "same version" filter at work. He's only seeing servers running his version, hence why he probably can't find any australian servers, since, there are none running his version. Eliteghostthing, take note of my post above, and post back with your version number. Listen to the PR developer http://www.ancientdev.com/images/devsig.png

I tried BF2 again and ur right Psyrus I got over 10000 servers. Plenty of Aus. Edited May 18, 200915 yr by inri
May 18, 200915 yr Righto, just looking at the PR forums atm looking for solutions cause there were alot of topics on this a month or so ago..
