Does this mean there are non-corrupt versions on Extinction or does it mean on other maps??

[OldBloke]

Does this mean there are non-corrupt versions on Extinction or does it mean on other maps??

Didn't see any of the 'real' variety last night.

[Whitey]

To answer my own question... They broke the spawns on the other maps with the release of Extinction and this is fixing it.

I'm getting a server mod mismatch error which, apparently, means my client has been updated to the latest version but the server isn't?

Can we please check.

Thanks.

Server running 298.37 which matches all other servers and my client. Not sure about mod version but I just connected fine.

OK thanks.
