Description

Sometimes if the player has a different iWAD version then the one you have,the game crashes and gives error (Segmentation Violation) for whatever reason,I Suggest a feature to display what IWAD version is the server running,or a feature to patch the IWAD and update it to the latest version before using it by the server admin,Or by the player just like ZDaemon does it .

It may be worth noting that the old MP gui would display a warning in the bottom right corner if ones Iwad didn't match the hosts. Though I can't recall if it proceeded to block joining that game as well.

I say that because the underlying code that handled that check may still be present in Dday, but simply be being unused/ignored by the new gui.
