Hello,

Something strange is happening me. Almost all the sims that i visit show a text that im running an older version that the current running in the server. I have the 1.19 client in my computer, but it looks that now the servers are running the 1.20.

I thought that i needed an update of my client software, but when i went to the SL website all was ok, im using the last version. But the RC has the 1.20

That means that i always must run the RC instead the regular client? I understand that the RC is some kind of beta with bugs, so the best option is wait for the official release.

What do you think?

The server versions have nothing to do with the client versions anymore. They updated half the regions to a new server version yesterday and are in the process of doing the other half now. That is why you are getting the message about different server versions as you TP around.

You can run any of the supported clients, 1.19.0.5, 1.19.1.4 or the RC client or any of the third party clients.

i bet it was the "simulator" running a newer/older version. LL is in the proces of rolling out new server code over the grid, and some sims are on the new version, while some sims still run the old version, each time you enter a diferent server version you get a message :)

Are you sure it says "newer" or "older"? Mine says "different version" when I move from one sim to another. I assume it means that the server version has changed and I should watch out for shoe-in-butt syndrome, or similar....
