hi, i just started to play FO and finaly got wippien but i cant join a game..
all IPs are black and i see the game in the TCP/IP lobby but everytime i try to join it says "the host has a different game version" so i looked for some newer version i maybe missed when i downloadet the game .. but i have 3.0.7 and cant find a higher version

do you guys play with another version?

and nobody answers in wippien so i cant ask them..

Does the host or you have the Multimedia pack installed and the other doesn't? I'm sure that can cause a hiderence.

It replaces the empire music files, so just copying the originals over them will effectivly 'uninstall' it.

Multimedia pack won't affect multiplayer compatibility. Try a full reinstall because a file is probably corrupt.
