CUP versions and trouble getting into servers

[waynewr]

Hey all

 I've had a search in the forums and cant find any answers

I have the latest versions of all CUP mods, but when i try to get into most servers running some of these mods it seems to a lot of the time too come up with content not allowed errors.

Now,  I've made sure that the dependency's are correct and the versions are correct, but it seems to be a majority of servers it dose this on.

it couldn't be launch parameters, could it?

Are you subscribed to the CUP mods via Steam Workshop? How are you trying to join? a3launcher? Arma 3's launcher? Command line?

It might be that although you have latest versions, updated by Steam Workshop most likely, the server host has not as yet updated to that latest version hence the mismatch of content.

cheers guys

I'm using Arma 3's launcher and I'm subscribed for updates, just seems whatever server i go to one or two mods show up as incorrect versions usually either CUP weapons or Core

I'll look around some more at different servers and see if i can find one that i can get into, really liking the content of CUP mods in editor and want to try it with epoch.

I too use Arma's own launcher and subscribe to most mods via steam where available, or download via Armaholic.

The one Server i know that is using CUP weapons, units and vehicles is Epoch Z by Grahame and i have no issues joining by loading required mods and saving them as preset called 'Epoch Z':

Yes on joining there are couple of normal error boxes, none of which stop me joining or playing.

Again my only thought could be that server host is running out of date version of mod whilst you have latest workshop version hence the error.

I've got all CUP Terrains Core, Weapons, Units and Vehicles on my server along with CBA (Required for CUP Weapons, Units and Vehicles), Esseker and of course, Epoch. You could try connecting to that. I know it's running the latest version of all of them so if you still can't connect, you've got something wrong on your side.

Sorry, late to the conversation. Are you launching the game from the in game launcher after manually selecting the mods or using the launcher's "SERVERS" button?

If the CUP versions are showing up as red on the in game launcher in the bottom right hand corner when you've selected a server then that server's probably running an old version (not necessarily since version 1.5 always showed up in red...). Each CUP mod is named with the version number so that's fairly easy to check (Weapons - 1.6, Units - 1.3.1, Vehicles - 1.3 are the latest current versions as of May 11th). For CUP you also need the latest version of CBA too.

If you're selecting the mods manually then also note not to choose mods that the server you're going to doesn't have - that can get you kicked too remember.

Hey all.

Cheers for the advice.

Checked versions and keys to make sure they were correct and matched server versions but they were still coming up as red in the game launcher

I tried unsubscribing and reloading mods from steam, they then came out as corrupted. So deleted them and reloaded them again and they were fine.

Got into Epoch Z by Grahame and its all good, must have been corrupted files.
