I updated my local setup to Nakama 3.9.0 via the Mac binary at `https://github.com/heroiclabs/nakama/releases` and updated the common library to the recommended: ```auto % env GO111MODULE=on go get "github.com/heroiclabs/nakama-common/runtime@v1.20.0" % go mod vendor % go build --trimpath --mod=vendor --buildmode=plugin -o foo.so % cp foo.so ..../nakama-3.9.0/data/modules ``` When starting I however get: ```auto ... {"level":"error","ts":"2021-11-04T10:29:15.799+0200","caller":"server/runtime_go.go:2492","msg":"Could not open Go module","path":".../nakama-3.9.0/data/modules/....so","error":"plugin.Open(\.../nakama-3.9.0/data/modules/foo.so\"): plugin was built with a different version of package google.golang.org/protobuf/internal/detrand"} {"level":"error","ts":"2021-11-04T10:29:15.799+0200","caller":"server/runtime.go:585","msg":"Error initialising Go runtime provider","error":"plugin.Open(\".../nakama-3.9.0/data/modules/foo.so\"): plugin was built with a different version of package google.golang.org/protobuf/internal/detrand"} {"level":"fatal","ts":"2021-11-04T10:29:15.799+0200","caller":"v3/main.go:146","msg":"Failed initializing runtime modules","error":"plugin.Open(\".../nakama-3.9.0/data/modules/foo.so\"): plugin was built with a different version of package google.golang.org/protobuf/internal/detrand"} ``` My `go.mod` for the plugin looks like: ```auto module towersnap go 1.17 require ( github.com/golang/protobuf v1.5.0 github.com/heroiclabs/nakama-common v1.20.0 golang.org/x/sync v0.0.0-20210220032951-036812b2e83c google.golang.org/protobuf v1.26.0 ) ``` I removed a couple irrelevant modules. The protobuf and sync requirements are added automatically by Go based on resolved dependencies, I guess. I’m not too experienced with Go yet. If I remove all requirements except `nakama-common` they get added back in at these versions. Seems the server has somehow different versions than these? ---

@chakie I recommend you read through the [Go dependency pinning docs](https://heroiclabs.com/docs/nakama/server-framework/go-dependency-pinning/). This part is especially important in your case I think: > Note > > It may help you to identify the correct version of a transitive dependency to be pinned in your plugin `go.mod` file by searching Nakama’s `vendor/modules.txt` file and look for the package that lead to the error. ---

Thank you @zyro , that fixed my build. I didn’t think about looking in your Git repo for what Nakama was using. TIL. 🙂 ---

@chakie No problem, glad it’s solved! For future reference the best way to stay on top of this is to keep an eye on the [Nakama releases page](https://github.com/heroiclabs/nakama/releases). We call out dependency upgrades in the release notes, so you can use that as a cue to check your own dependency usage in case it needs changes. 👍 ---

Yeah, I do check them thoroughly, as they mention the required Go and `nakama-common` versions. Having those correct had been enough so far, thus my panicked question. ---

Hi @chakie , can you teach me how can you solve this problem, please? ---

@mautoan11 What problem do you have? Do you use the same version of Go as mentioned in the release notes?
