"Host has another version of the game"

[SeraphLance]

Anyone know what might be wrong? My two friends can connect to eachother, but I can't connect to them. The build id, version, and checksum all match, none of us have any mods, and all of us have all the DLC. We've all verified our game cache and all of them came up clean, so I don't know what else to try.

I have the same problem 3/4 can connect one with the same issue above

update your games wtf, it's not rocket science. First check if you have the same version(which you don't) and run the game. Disable all mods as well.

..OP litterally said they checked that, actually read the original post, its not rocket science

im having the same problem, it says version 2.2.1(bbf4) but when i go online i cant see a single game when i click the check mark "same version" my brother can see all them but i cant and its preventing me from playing with anyone.

ok i fixed my end, after i uninstalled the game i went to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common" went to the stellaris and deletet the whole folder. then reinstalled it and problem fixed.

I forgot to update this, but if anyone else has the same problem, what I did to resolve it:

Change the version to some other version (I used the last beta), wait for it to update, then change back. It will update again. The CRC and version number will be identical to what you had before the first switch, but it will automagically work.

I don't know why that fixes it. Maybe it's using some other hash internally that you don't see as the 4-digit value in the UI. Even redownloading the game didn't work until I did the version switcharoo.

Ok, I had this problem and try to do the commom folder delete procedure and didn't manage to fix it. The procedure of uninstalling everything and purge all the files, then reinstall de game sure work, but seems to me too extreme.

So I begin to investigate and found a .txt documment in the instalation folder named checksum_manifest.txt. This documents tell the game witch folders to "check" to do the "sum". So, beside the common folder, I deleted the location, map and localisation_synced folder, then made a check folder procedure on steam and re-downloades those folders and, voila! Checksum now is fixed. Try this before uninstalling the game.

Hope this work for you and sorry for the bad english.

This worked for my friend too. Deleted the three folders (common, map, and localisation_synced), verified the installation, and then restarted, and the game hash was good!

I even reinstalled before finding your post, which didn't work. This did ... I don't know why.
