I have the retail version and my friends have the steam version and can play multiplayer on the vanilla version fine but when we try to play mods together i cant play with them and get a version mismatch message! Is there a fix for this?

I have not tested it yet, but I am told this program helps eliminate issues that prevent Steam and disc EaW users from connecting in multiplayer:

I can confirm that it works.  Though, it would seem that due to some unknown reasons that it will most likely not work unless you install the patch on a freshly installed copy of the game.  And, I have a friend that told me it would seem that mods break it, though he was using Republic at War, which installs patches to the game itself (apparently, that is what he told me, idk) but me and some other friends are in the process of trying out Imperial Civil War in mulitplayer - me and another are on Steam, the other is on Retail.  Will get back to you guys on whether or not Imperial Civil War breaks the compatibility.

What ended up breaking it for me and a few other friends is other Mods. A lot of the time people will have a mod that installs something in the base Data folder that ends up borking everything.

The mismatch was supposed to be fixed when the retail-version uses the updated FoC RAM patch, but i've not seen any confirmation that this is actually the case.

My friend has recently bought EAW and FOC on Steam, where I own the retail DVD version. It does not allow us to connect in multiplayer due to different versions,  from a quick search around it seems the Steam version has a 'later' version number that appears to be simply a typo and a patch of the same version number does not appear to exist for the retail version yet they both do the same thing.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has found a workaround or fix for this problem that doesn't mean one of us having to buy the game again?
