Need Help/Answer with specific 0.4.0 problem

[Davidian]

Okay I downloaded beta 0.4.0 last night and that didn't work as we all know, I got the temporary hotfix and this morning I ran the AutoUpdater and got the official 0.4.1 hotfix. The hotfix hasn't solved anything for me. I am running MWLL on Crysis (vanilla) 64-bit, DX10 mode (it's all patched and good, been playing MWLL consistently from the start, and it all worked fine in 0.3.2).

Here's what happens:
I launch MWLL via the MWLL launcher shortcut on my desktop, the auto check for updates box is checked, I click launch and it launches. Instead of getting the "Wandering Samurai Studios" intro that I used to get with 0.3.2 and previous versions, I instead get all the Crysis launch stuff (Crysis-stylized EA logo, Crytek, nVidia, Intel, etc). Then I load into main menu and it looks like this:


The background is all messed up. I go to multiplayer and log on to Crytek Systems like usual, and it brings up the list of servers, which looks like this:


Regular Crysis servers are mixed with MWLL servers and it's all a mess, I found 3 servers total running MWLL 0.4.1, however I cannot connect to any of the servers, and they all have N/A ping.
Here is the error box I get:




So I'm unsure what too, I'm really looking forward too jumping into a game of 0.4.1 as quickly as possible. Perhaps my base 0.4.0 was corrupt? (besides the whole missing sounds.pak error) Should I re-download? I downloaded 0.4.0 last night via the DirectDownload option on the official website's download page - http://www.mwlldownload.com/.


Also, I have a question about the difference between MWLL on vanilla Crysis and MWLL on Crysis Wars. I don't know what the differences are between the two and I am hoping someone can explain it to me. I had thought that users could now join Crysis vanilla MWLL severs while running Crysis Wars, and vise versa, but I have heard that is wrong....
I do not own Crysis Wars and I do not wish to go buy it just to continue playing MWLL with everyone, but I heard this was the case, that we basically need to switch over to Crysis Wars.
Please explain, thank you.

You have the same problem I do. Hope someone actually helps you.

Unfortunately I can't help you with your connection problem (but I'll forward it to people who possibly can) but I can explain the Vanilla/Wars thing.

Basically, we did a dual-release, as we stated from the beginning. People who still own Vanilla can play with the current content additions, and people who bought Wars can now use Wars to play MWLL as well. These two cannot play together as they're separate games and use separate and incompatible DLL files. In summary, people with Wars can now play MWLL with Crysis Wars and people who own Vanilla (who may not own Wars yet) can still play the current release of MWLL.

I'd also further like to note, that current Vanilla players shouldn't get too comfortable thinking we'll be releasing any more content updates for Vanilla. We stated years ago that those who'd purchased Vanilla Crysis would not be left in the dust and would gain early access to the Beta but would have to purchase Wars in the future to gain content updates beyond this release. Expect all future releases to be on Wars as we can't forsee how future content additions can affect the different builds and would rather not segregate the community into sections.

Thanks for testing and I hope we can fix your problem.

Thank you very much for the explanation! I do remember way back when you guys had announced bringing the mod to Crysis Wars, I just didn't know what that meant in the whole scope of things. I guess I'll be buying Crysis Wars as soon as possible. Maybe once I get Crysis Wars and download MWLL for that, then it will work...idk.
I'd still like help with my vanilla Crysis MWLL problem, if anyone can help me. Until I get Wars, I look forward to playing on vanilla.

Hey Dav, I get your exact same problem when I run in 64 bit, but when I run in 32 bit, things run fine like they used to.

Still cant get in game though, battling a Server Authentication 3 error myself.

Re install your Wars.

[xInVicTuSx]

Yeah Im having some pain in the ass battles with Steam and EA, the cdkey steam gave me was invalid so I asked EA for another.

But steam keeps inputting my old one over the working new one, so either I figure out how to change it through steam, or say screw it and do what HAARP suggested, uninstall steam crysis and pirate it, then use new CD key.

Do you mean that the menu and intro and all runs like it used to?

Alright.
How do I get it to run in 32bit though? I don't see an option for it on the launcher and mine defaults with 64bit.

O.o This is what your launcher looks like right??
