This one has been sitting for a while, but I noticed a few links using a Google Search. Sorry it links to other forums, but these people seem to have the same issues:
i had installed my game from the first decade compliation pack (all highest versiosn of the game) and my mate had installed the game from a stand alone copy of the game the result waz his lobby window was listing users with the first version and my lobby window waz listing games with the latest version
i felt stupid when it took me 3 hours to find the solution and infomation after i had posted this post soz for leaveing my thread unreplyed to for so long
