When I enter games it tells me that I need to update my client. So I go to the website it offers, It says that "This server is no longer compatible with 1.1.0 clients. You will need a client binary compiled from svn 1048 or newer."  Also the website the game offers says it is old and outdated (http://trem.tjw.org/backport/)

So I searched the sentence on these Trem forms and found a form with my problem, and a helpful reply.

 The "client", is basically you're 'Tremulous.exe' program, found in [C:\Program Files\Tremulous] and inside that folder has a ugly-looking spider thing.
Looks like this:


That client you get when you first download Tremulous is called the "Vanilla" client, which basically means "The original/out-dated client".

Most servers that are now out for Tremulous uses updated clients created by modders helps the basic server run better, patches most bugs, and provides neat features. It also gives you something called a "Guid", which is basically a feature that allows server admins to give admin powers to other players, like you. First, go to this website:
http://risujin.org/tremulous/

Risujin, just one of the many awesome people in Tremulous, created a nifty backport that is easy to execute. There are other backports made by others, but lets try this one, because it is generally (in my understanding) the most commonly used backport. At first, you'll be "WTF HENDRICH, THIS WEBSITE HAS TOO MUCH SHIT, WHERE IS BACKPORT ARGGGGLOLOLOL!!!1!". Well, skip all the great information Risujin has until you get to the bottom of the page. it should say "Client Backport", and under it to the right is the backport files you want. The files are on the links where the yellow boxes are, just pick the file with your corresponding operating system.

If you're still confused where the backports are, here are the direct liks to the file (Sorry Risujin, but all the credit goes to you):

Windows Backport File:
http://risujin.org/pub/tremulous/backport-svn931-4-win32.zip

MacOS Backport File:
http://www.bandstand.org.uk/~benm/trem/client-svn911-ub-smp-3.zip

Linux Backport File:
http://risujin.org/pub/tremulous/backport-svn931-4-linux.tar.gz

Just, save the files on your desktop. For Windows (atleast), the files are in a zipped archive, so un-zip them on your desktop. Select and copy whatever the hell is inside the folder, and paste it in your [C:\Program Files\Tremulous] folder, if a window pops-up asking you to say "Yes to all" or "No" or "Something Else", just click on the "Yes to all" button. There, ta-da! You have your backport installed. Now the server won't ask you to upgrade your client anymore.  


I followed these instructions, with windows, but when I tried to play the game it didn't work. :( Any halp?

Try downloading http://trem.tjw.org/backport/win32/tremulous.exe and replacing your tremulous.exe with that file.  That's all you need to do assuming your trying to play 1.1.

Although TJW was the best client choice in early '07 or whatever, I would suggest downloading tremfusion.

I'd still recommend downloading TJW's client first, making sure it works, then trying Tremfusion.
