Troubleshooting: "protocol not supported" Error​

warning

If players see an error like the one below when joining, your server is running an older version of KCD:MP than their game:

NETWORK peer 0 (<player IP>:<port>): rejected (protocol 69 not supported (server speaks 68). This server runs an older KCD:MP than yours - its owner has to update it)

To fix this, update your server's KCD:MP version:

  1. Open the Startup page from the menu on the left-hand side.

Startup in the menu
  1. Find the KCD:MP Version variable and change it to the most recent version number, for example 0.38.0 at launch.

  1. Restart your server from the Console. No reinstall is needed.
tip

Set the KCD:MP Version to latest to automatically check for and install the newest stable release every time your server starts.
