The first troubleshooting step is a simple in-game update. Return to the main menu and check for updates. However, some players report this doesn't always resolve the problem.
If the error persists, restarting the game is recommended. This forces a fresh update check and should resolve the version conflict. While this means a short delay, it's a worthwhile attempt.
