are u using the Deathball shortcut? if yes, try using the normal UT2003 shortcut. When I use the DB Shorcut I receive this message on other game types too.

My solution to this was to remove Deathball.u from my system folder and then download that 700ish KB file from a server (add several 1.6 servers to your favourites beforehand), so that it becomes part of the cache folder.

Hardly ideal, but it does as a short term workaround...

Yeah, just use the normal shortcut direct to the UT.exe.

if you use the DB link (it gives you the red bg) then no other game types will work unless the servers contail the 1.6 deathball.u on them.

If I try to play DM or CTF after I have played DB, I cant get in. BUT, if I restart UT, I can get in. Are you trying to get in after you`ve already played DB?

I just made an extra folder in my system folder, when I want to play i move deathball.u into that folder and play UT2003, when I wanna play DB i put it back...inconvience yes..but it works....

though i note...one mod i play for UT2003 works without the error...

Well... I also get this error after installing 1.6...
But i found out that if u dont play db before anything else u can just play everywhere...
This is wierd...
Cleared up in next version I hope?

I had another System folder, within my normal System folder. Inside this extra System folder was another 635kb (DB 1.5?) Deathball.u file. I deleted this folder. Everything now works.
