Unable to join dedicated LAN server offline

Post by DMB »

Thankyou for including the dedicated LAN server files in the recent update.

Unfortunately when I try to join my COOP server with an offline profile I get the following error:
You have an older version than the server.

If you are launching a local dedicated server, make sure to load it prior to launching the game to avoid this error.
Both client and server are v1.6.6.1. I made sure the server is 100% loaded and playing before I ran the client. Also tried running the server on the same PC and a different PC.

I'm only able to connect after I sign into my online profile.

Of course most PR players use an online profile anyway, however offline has advantages for LAN.
It's easier for friends to create a local profile and you're also able to tweak things on the clientside to your liking (e.g. unlock the 100 FPS limit), without the online verification check preventing you from launching.

There's no way in this patch, but we'll look into it.
game.lockfps 0 in console to remove the FPS limit
