Hey,
i just bought and downloaded BTS via Steam. Works so far, but as soon as i join any multiplayer games it says that all other players have modified (*MOD*) versions.
I have the newest version/patches, directx june.
Warlords did work properly before...
Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

Yes I just read about this in a post in CFC as well, I'm not sure what the change is that is causing the *MOD* tag, but it could be anything but the exe which is not part of the checksum. I'm going to ask some of the dev's/modders that worked on the BTS code about how we can determine which file(s) Steam has altered or not updated properly, MTF.

It could be that while you D/L'd it, it never installed, that seems to be a problem with all Vista users and some XP user. Goto Firaixis.com and get the standalone patch and D/L it manually and install it. CS

i have a original cd and got a other prob:
if i join a game i got always the "have a other version then host" message. some german players told me that this is a problem of the "german version" of the game, they all have this problem.
is there a way i can fix that? its really boring to explain over and over i dont use cheatcodes or whatever ;D

I've heard that for some reason the german patch doesn't replace the cvgamecoredll unless you delete it before you patch, there's probably more info at www.civilized.de/CS

Thx cs, but this have nothing to do with my prob....sems like i have to live with it untill next patch came out It still maybe a related problem, the german testers are saying that there are other files that didn't get updated as well do to the time stamps being newer on the german files than the 302 patch. I'll let you know if there is a solution. CS

Ive noticed this a few times mostly when german Players join a game in staging room if you join after them it says player x as differant file Versions (not sure if its just a coincidance or just that Fat German Kid on You tube was a German Beta tester)
However it dosnt show up as mod next to their name once you enter the staging room.
if they enter the staging room after you you dont get the message though!

It doesn't even work for me to dl the newest update and try to install. Error then is the following: The Setup has detected that no Version of BtS is installed... any new suggestions?

I believe there is a way to change the default Steam setting to manual D/L's. Yes D2D and Steam have released a 2.03 patch which adds nothing but the updated DX9 files....but they change the version number for that screwing up us MPers. CS

you can set it to manual after you have installed it... so that's too late since steam always downloads the newest version.
