Updater differences in Windows & Linux
« Reply #15 on: March 12, 2005, 09:31:41 am »
The \"Not running On correct version of Planeshift\" error happens whenever there is a version difference between the client ( your local copy of planeshift ) and the server ( remote system that hosts the planeshift worls ).

This error occurs when the server version is upgraded ( for new features, bugfixes, etc ) and thus there will be a version difference to your client which will still be at the old version.

The Windows planeshift updater program will update the client version. It updates both art (images, music, world maps, etc ) and binaries (program files). Running the updater on windows should resolve this error.

The Linux planeshift updater program will not update the client version. It updates only the art files, not the binaries. Running the updater on linux will not correct this error.

To update the client binaries ( and their version number) and hence correct this error on Linux requires the new binaries to be either downloaded ( if you are using the binary release ) or compiled locally ( if you are using a source/CVS based release, this includes the linux install script ). There are posts in the bug and tech forums with further details for each of these methods.

Sorry for those using the Mac client, I\'m unsure of the situation on this system and how its updater behaves, but I assume it behaves the same way as the linux updater. That is, you must get the updated binaries via other means.
