How many servers have you tried? You could have just had really bad luck, and selected all the warez servers. :p

oops... yeah, missed that. If its warez you CANT update it. So, he cant be trying to connect to a warez server (remember, the beta is a different code, the patch doesnt recognize it, i dont think)

Just to be sure, try a popular server, jk3files.com, chopshop, kurgan's things like that...

If you SWEAR you have only the legal retail version, you have the latest official patch (1.01) and you are not using ANY cd cracks or hacks, then the problem MUST be that the server you're trying to join is not legit (ie: beta, bootleg, warez, etc).

Hopefully you didn't buy a bootleg/copied CD off some street vendor or shady Ebay salesman...

Try another server until you stop getting the error.

If you have ANY non-legit or demo versions of the game on your system, remove them and reinstall the real thing.

Do you have a burnt (Not burnt with fire :p) disk? Also try removing the mods and see if it helps. :)

Use the All-Seeing Eye and just look for games that say basejka (unmodded most likely) and you should be able to join.. Also make sure to get the latest patch V1.01

Yeah, i've been using it for almost a year now. They will ask you to upgrade to the full version after 3 weeks, just say no and use the trial version forever. :)
