✔ Accepted fix

use another clientdate.

then edit in src/config/packets.h

#ifndef PACKETVER
	/// Do NOT edit this line! To set your client version, please do this instead:
	/// In Windows: Add this line in your src\custom\defines_pre.hpp file: #define PACKETVER YYYYMMDD
	/// In Linux: The same as above or run the following command: ./configure --enable-packetver=YYYYMMDD
	#define PACKETVER 20200401
#endif

Change 20200401 to any client date that you are using.

And recompile.
