If you receive the following message:

You have been disconnected because you tried to connect with an old version. Application will now shut down. (code = 4002, -62)

as of now, there are 4 common causes for this problem:

• C++ 2015 (x86) is not installed
• d3dx9_43.dll is missing
• Windows Firewall, Defender, or antivirus deleted JFTSE.dll
• The game files are out of date

Fix 1: C++ 2015 (x86) is not installed

Install the Visual C++ Redistributable (x86):

Download C++ 2015 x86 Redistributable

Fix 2: d3dx9_43.dll is missing

If you receive an error saying that d3dx9_43.dll is missing, install the DirectX runtime:

Download DirectX End-User Runtime

Fix 3: JFTSE.dll was deleted

Windows Defender, Firewall, or third-party antivirus software may block, quarantine, or delete JFTSE.dll.

What to do:

• Check your antivirus quarantine
• Restore JFTSE.dll if it was removed
• Add the full game folder to your antivirus or Defender exclusions
• Make sure the anti-cheat files are not being blocked

Fix 4: Files are out of date

Always launch the game with:

FT_Launcher.exe

This will check for updates and download missing or outdated files.

• Make sure the game is fully closed
• Restart the launcher and try again
• If the problem continues, contact the moderators through #support-ticket and click Create Ticket.
