3.0 Modded Multiplayer

[Azi_Dahaka12th]

we have tried clearing out appdtta, unsub and resub, nut it still says we have different versions of the game, even when we have the same build code....is this a 3.0 thing?

There are quite a few mods that don't work in MP Campaigns at all. There are even mods that state "works in mp" and still won't work one bit in MP Campaigns. So most likely both of you had the bad luck in choosing one of those mods. Just disable it and try without it, then MP should work without a problem.

thats not the issue its all mods, any mods mods that we know work in MP as we have played games using them before. but once 3.0 came out we can no longer play modded mp as it keeps saying we have different versions

Is it an outdated mod ? 3.0 broke a lot of mods and the Authors need to update their mods for 3.0. Also due to those updates for the mods, there might even be some compatibility problems between mods that worked together before 3.0. There might also be the possibility that the mods simply don't work anymore in MP even if they got updated for 3.0.

There are a ton of possible issues with mods right now and the only way to find out is, to check every single mod itself. Disable all mods, reactivate one, start game, see if it works, if yes/no, disable mod or enable the next and so on.

no the mod is not outdated, and i HIGHLY doubt that Mixus unlocker is no longer working for MP as it was updated specifically for MP...and like i said before it dose not matter what mods we try, if the game is modded it wont connect if its vanilla it works just fine

Then I guess its a problem on either of your ends. I can play modded MP as well as before 3.0 with my brother.

Sadly I don't know what might help here. Most of the times for my brother and me, its one of the above problems with mods and disabling those mods fixes the problem for us.

Mods have nothing to do with the appdata folder.

If you have the same mods subscribed, enabled, and in the same load order, then one or both of you has different versions of one or more mods. This is most likely caused by the long-standing and well documented workshop update bug. The solution is to unsubscribe to the mod(s) in question, go to the WH3 workshop folder, manually check that the mod folders in question have been deleted, and only then resubscribe.

Oh, and make sure neither of you has any mod files in %SteamDir%/steamapps/common/Total War WARHAMMERIII/data, because the file checksum has considered that folder to be sensitive since WH3 released.

will try that next

have the same issue nothing works, constant desyncs even without mods all troubleshooting options tried support just ignores requests or points me to the forums, and the forums point me to support.

Had the same problem until I validated files on everyone's end. Managed to get everyone to join the campaign but then we hit another brick. A constant desync EVERYTIME someone attacks an army or settlement.

ok so i completely removed warhammer 3, deleted my appdata folder for TWW3 wiped the steam directory clean, then downloaded, and he is till getting the error "host has different version of the game"....and again we have tried with only one mod on, and tried different mods one at a time and they all come back error...is there some files somewhere other then appdata? and steam directory? ohh and documents?
