Intro
Are you having problems joining your favorite Unturned server because of some idiotic workshop error on connection? Maybe a missing asset? Well this guide is for you... Yes, you! I am tired of you asking me how to fix that bug that I showed how to fix 69,420,666 times, but, since you don't listen, I'm making this guide for you! (Yes, You!)
"Server is running a newer version of" or "Server loaded (...) from legacy bundle"
mimir, how do I FIX THIS DAMN ERROR?!?!

Important notes:
This section can also fix the "Client and server disagree on asset {asset}" and/or "Client and server loaded legacy…" errors on joining a server!

Initial Steps

  • Make sure your game is closed [EXTREMELY IMPORTANT]
  • Go to Library > Unturned > Workshop > Your Files > Subscribed Items and press Unsubscribe from All*
  • Go on your Steam Downloads page and see if any Downloads for Unturned are happening, if nothing is happening, open your game.
  • Open your game and see if this fixed your error, if you still have errors, keep scrolling.

How to fix this


  • This error often happens when Steam goes down on maintenance on Tuesdays at around 10PM UTC +00:00

Fixing this
  • If you have 256 or more of the same item in your inventory, put them away until you have 255 or else. (It's called a integer limit wowzers)
  • If you have 255 or less of the same item, go on Amazon and buy a new computer please.
