Sometimes you'll facing an Error-Message in the Format "File XYZ.XY version mismatch" if you try to join our Server. Here is what you can do:
- Note the file name is mentioned in the Error-Message (simply take a PrintScreen)
- In the Windows-Explorer (Mac = Finder) find & open the Cache-Folder, you'll find them in common here => C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Red Orchestra\Cache
- Search for the file "Cache.ini". Open this file in any Text-Editor of your choice (p.e. Notepad / Notepad++ / ..etc..).
- In this file search for the entry of the file-name mentioned in the Error-Message (p.e. "MaikopT.utx" )
- Copy (Ctrl + C) that long alphanumeric Key on left side is associated with that file name (p.e. "F19628B54ADA...." )
- Go back to the Windows-Explorer which should still show your Cache-Folder. Paste the alphanumeric Key in the "Search in Cache" Field (right upper corner)
- It will show that file now in search resultes - the file has the Format "F19628B54ADA....-1.uxx"
- delete this file - BUT ONLY THIS FILE
- Close your Windows Explorer. Your Editor should be still open.
- Now delete the line, where you found the alpanumeric key and the associated file name from the Error Message - BUT ONLY THIS LINE
- Don't forget to save the "Cache.ini" before you close your Editor
- That's it ..
