Another bad patch?

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to log in and getting an error about mismatched protocols or some such shit... I re-run the launcher with the patch check enabled, get patched, go back in... now an error about corrupted files.

Anyone else getting this error?  I got in just a few days ago!!  I'll be damned if I'm going to reinstall

I'll try now destyn! Erm, nope; not for me! But I do know that peeps have been having with their light pool with this patch....

I don't think there's been a patch since the holiday hotfix or whatever back in December. I can log in just fine. They have, however, been having weird server problems. Certain areas are always done and the entire game seems to be 5 times as laggy.

Ended up uninstalling and reinstalling.  Turns out it was a bad patch (each time I tried to get in it woud say "files updated", but it obviously wasn't completing that update).  Now I just have to see if it will run on Vista this month...

It will, but don't expect it to perform as well.  Also you will probably lose the ability to make screenshots.  Everytime I take one the jpg or bmp it creates is entirely black.  I've checked the MxO forums repeatedly and others who have upgraded to Vista are experiencing the same issue.  There are issues with Direct X10 and the game and certain graphics cards but I haven't narrowed down the specific cause yet.  

Have fun.

Using CR or retail Yotogi?

[Ash]

I'm using the Retail release; Vista Ultimate.

Interesting... aside from your presumed discount on the product, what made you choose Ultimate?  I am going for Home Premium right now but I keep casting sideways glances at Ultimate.  I can't decide if it's worth the extra $100

XP bootleg??? oh wait.. thats me..

Sorry but my copy was legal and free.  One of the many (in my opinion the only) benefits of being a Microsoft Partner.

Oh and to answer your question,  Ultimate was the obvious choice considering all that I do with this computer.  It not only is my gaming machine but my homes media server for music pictures and television but also print and file server as well.

Yeah I get that Home Premium also does all that... Ultimate only seemed to have a few business functions that I don't think I'd use (I work through a VPN and Premium can accomodate that for me).  Do you use the Ultimate features?  Sorry for all the questions, but if I'm going to change my order I've only got another 22 days to do it in

I'll have to pick up the free copy from school and let it sit for a year until I attempt to upgrade.
