Yes, manual update thread is your friend.

I can't edit messages here? Ack... here is the thread. http://forum.us.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=31461

Only thing I've found so far is that I cannot find the RoM website anymore! Getting 404 error page instead. ????

I searched for the manual update thread and did NOT find it or I wouldn't have posted here. I searched again and its not showing up so if there is one it is not showing itself to me.

Sorry. I posted the message you are replying to (#21) and then thought that perhaps you would have problems finding it, so posted direct link to it in message #22. I guess you didn't check #22 above.

Here is the link again.

Kalvan updates the original post of that thread as new patches come out, so all you need is that first post in the thread.

The current game version is 5.0.1.2553en. Look in the lower right corner of the launcher window to see if your client is up to date.

'wiffo posted the link to the manual patch thread. However, if your client won't or can't autoupdate, you may have to temporarily disable your firewall and/or your anti-virus program(s) before patching. Re-enable them after you've patched the game.

If you continue to have problems with the "game version" error, you have a couple of options. Look in your main game folder (C:\Program Files\Runes of Magic, or C:\Program Files(x86)\Runes of Magic) and find the Client.exe.ini file. Open it with Notepad and make sure it looks like this:

[Version]
Major=5
Minor=0
BuildNum=1
AutoIncrement=1
Extend=2553
Country=en

Make the require changes and save the file. This should work, but stranger things have been known to happen.

If you still get the "game version" error, you will need to download the current Chapter V game installer for the client you prefer to use, full or slim, then perform a game reinstall. As above, temporarily disable your firewall and/or a/v program before installing and patching the game, re-enable them aftewards.

I noticed something on Rogue/Priest but it was the first time me playing this class so it may be intentional.
When using "Premeditation" out of combat, then using the priest general "Regenerate", Premeditation buff is removed, but if you use Regenerate and THEN use Premeditation, both buffs work.

Premeditation works with heals, you will crit heals but it will remove premed, works well in siege to lick your wounds till the next wave comes.

Quoted from "Chapter 4 Patch Notes"

• Rogue Skill - Premeditation: Every heal casted during Premeditation isn’t a crit anymore.
  

If heals are still critting, I doubt it was intended.

As a Rogue Priest, pre-chapter 4. It was a beautiful way to heal yourself up on a PVP-server. Otherwise, it wasn't that useful.

I didn't realize Regenerate(a heal over time) could crit?

I know that the s/p vamp arrows HOT has a chance to crit, ever since the % was added back in early ch4. I bet that warlocks and champions will get crits on HOTs with elites since the devs were too lazy to "break" their HOTs so they dont crit similar to the druids and priest.

wouldnt a hot critting be similar to the way dots crit? my movement restriction and thorny vines critts occasionally.

Maybe a bit late to mention, but Rogue/Champion elite Slient Rune Bomb's silence doesnt cap at 10 second at lvl 50 anymore. Also, i think the impact range as increased a bit. Also, I don't know if it has been implemented this patch, but Rogue/Warlock's Soul Stab can be resisted (the same way any magic spell can be)

I've never seen a DoT crit before, unless it has some sort of burst damage up front before the DoT.

Priest/druid HoTs never crit, and neither do their DoTs. That's one of the reasons magic DoTs are so awful, aside from being stupidly weak to begin with.

I don't see that it's been mentioned but when on D/WD, and I cast Briar shield on party member, they are getting a buff that says Sys622910_name that does not affect their physical defense at all. Additionally, at the same time the buff is cast on them, I'm getting Briar Shield cast on me and it does raise my pdef. In short, I am unable to cast briar shield on anyone but me.

The D/Wd gets the full benefit of briar shield whereas the targets only get the damage reflection and mana regeneration. Buffs go on simultaneously and is not limited to a single target unlike the text indicates.
