New patch, and client version

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:36 pm

Just thought I'd give a heads up that with the new upcoming server patch, client 7.0.18.0 will be required to play.

Given it is a big jump, I recommend to download it ahead of time so you will be ready when we update. Do not overwrite your existing client though.

We are still set for the 24th of September, but there is always the slight chance of any setbacks, so that date is not 100% yet, but if all goes well, it will be then.

Latest patch 7.0.18.0 seems to be working fine on TC1.

I will second that. The latest patch for the classic client worked perfectly.

Did not realize they had patched again, good to know it works. First post updated.

This update may be slightly delayed.

We luckly found a pretty serious bug involving packets where health bars could get all screwed up.

I am getting closer to fixing it, and I will continue tomorrow. To avoid rushing this we'll test for a few days and look for any other packet changes that we may have missed.

Other than that, the patch is more or less ready though, so we are VERY close.

It's ALWAYS SOMETHING!

Just kidding, glad you caught that.
This is pretty much like Christmas for us though you know, so good luck.

Thankfully this is a minor set back compared to the ones we've had in the past. I think I may have fixed it now in dev, we'll be doing some testing and we could possibly be ready to release as early as tonight, but we'll see.

Things are looking good for tonight!

Just remember, backup your current client! There's the (hopefully rare) possibility that we have to revert back, should something catastrophic happen.

But so far, things are looking good. There's a few minor issues I need to fix but they can wait.
