TOPIC:

Just gone to play Open TTD and most of the Servers are showing the Red Light and will not let me in including the Server i always play on (Server 15A) Is there an issue with Servers at the moment?

Hi there

About a week ago the servers were upgraded to version 1.5.0 of openttd, so the only thing you need to do is update your openttd client, when you've done this (download either the btpro client from this site or the vanilla client from openttd.org) you will see that everything will be alright again.

Good luck!

Thanks for your reply, How do i go about doing that?

here you go:

openttd.btpro.nl/forum/30-btpro-openttd-...openttd-client-1-5-0

I have downloaded it and still not working

hello Y961 XBU

there's some recommended step, as in the included ReadMe.txt, wich are:
Installation instructions:
- ** It's recommended to make a full backup of the OpenTTD instalation folder **
- Extract "openttd.exe" and "lang" folder to OpenTTD instalation folder (usually in C:\Program files\OpenTTD). Overwrite them, if necessary.
- Run the game, enter openttd.btpro.nl website info (Username and Password) in OpenTTD Intro menu (username and password are set separately by community).
- Click in the "BTPro Login tool" ingame to login into your account automatically (available too under own nickname in Client List)

the 1.5.0 versions are: 32 and 64 (choose the correct one, depending on your system)
Edit: check here for more details about BTPro client

the above step at bold is very important, because that's the executable to run.

note: we also recommend create an empty "openttd.cfg" file in same folder where is the openttd.exe (that will allow you have different versions and each one with own settings)

Hope it helps
