I have installed the free "retail dedicated" UT 2004 server on my Mac OS X 10.3 Xserve. Trying to connect with a unpatched retail Mac client (fresh installation, not connected to other servers first) works fine:

But, when I patch my client to 3236 (latest available for Mac) I get problem (still not connected to any other server first):

On the client I get the following message:
Incompatible Game Files: ../System/Engine.u
As far as I see I can't use the patch for the client to patch the server installation (I did try thou). Without any deeper knowledge about what's going on under the hood of UT2004 I guess the server gets upset when the checksum doesn't work out the file in question? If so, how do I solve that.
I have tried to searched the net and Atari (and BU) forums but no find anything useful.

Any idea how to solve this or where to look for solution?
Thanks in advance.

PS. Other users (Windows users) get the same problem.
