Outdated Client? Check this!

[Souretsu]

Have you received an error when connecting to a server, that says your client is outdated? There's probably a good reason and an easy solution for this. First, check the version of the game you're running. You can find this on the main menu of the game. At the time of writing this, that will normally say 0.1.51.8. In order to connect to a server, your game version must be the same as the server's. If you're not able to connect, they might be different. Again, at the time of writing this, there are actually two game versions available: 0.1.51.8 and 0.1.51.9.

"But Sour," you ask. "Why are there two versions and how do I get the newer one?" That's good. That means we're learning.

0.1.51.8 in this case is part of what's called the Public or Live Branch of the game. 0.1.51.9 is (currently) part of the Development Branch. Dev branch is usually a version or two ahead of the public branch, and is used to help develop the game. It is more prone to having bugs, server crashes, etc and this version of the game helps the developers iron out these problems. Once everything is fixed and they're satisfied with it, this version is then pushed to the public branch and becomes the main version of the game.

You can freely switch between these two versions. To do so, simply:

1) Right-click The Isle in your Steam library.
2) Select Properties.
3) Select the Betas tab in the menu.
4) Use the drop-down menu on this screen to select the version of the game you want. "NONE" is the standard public branch. Development branch is, obviously, the developement branch. Legacy is an extremely outdated version of the game that is no longer officially supported but can be used if you wish.

... And you're done! The only catch is, like I said, you can't play on a server with a different game version than yours. Just keep this in mind and enjoy the game!

Outdated Client???

Every time I try to join any server it keeps saying I need to restart Steam, update the game and try again, but there doesn't appear to be any update available even after what I think I restarted Steam. Someone tell me what I'm doing wrong because I would really like to play the game but I haven't been able to for weeks because of this.

What operating system are you on?

I have a similar issue. When I try to start the game it says I am on version 1.33 and the client is on 1.369. I don't see a way to update it. The error says your game is out of date. Please restart steam and update and try again. I have restarted steam but there is no update. I play on a Mac version Mac is high Sierra version 10.13.3 on a MacBook pro.

Ah, that'd be why. Mac support is temporarily halted while we solve some issues with the Mac builds, as well as an Unreal Engine rendering issue. It was mentioned in our patchnotes not too long ago.

Ah ok, so there isn't anything I can do at the moment. Guess I'll just wait for it to be fixed then. Thank you!

[SilverThrace]

Oh okay thank you Punch I had just gotten the game yesterday so I was unaware Mac had been halted. I'll just hang tight till it is fixed, have a good day

I'm having the same problem and it's really annoying because I really wanna play this game. Do the developers know about this?

What server were you trying to join while playing on Dev Branch? If your game is set to Dev Branch I believe the only servers you'll have available are the official dev ones. Servers like Official EU are still on public.
