Runes of Magic US / AU

Has anyone encountered any problems while playing with the new version of RoM? I downloaded that new version Runes_of_Magic_4_0_5_2467_us_full.exe from the site & installed it & patched it up to the current 4.0.6.2483 version. My downloaded files were over 7.5gb so the site wasn't mislabeled to download the slim client instead coz that's only about 3.5gb.

Some strange reason, the new version patched up from 4.0.5.2467 version is like HALF the size of my old patched up from 2.0.1.1821 version. How well are the files tested before releasing them? I have no idea what goes into testing, I mean are all quests tested & each areas of each zone tested so u don't drop into the ground or what?

I don't know if my computer patched incorrectly or is the new 4.0.5.2467 version patched up to current really is indeed supposed to be smaller files & that over time my old patched 2.0.1.1821 version was just filled with obsolete data or what with all the patches in the past. But that is weird I mean all the files combined are over 1gb smaller O_o with the 4 texture files noticably different & music files.

Can someone who RECENTLY downloaded 4.0.5.2467 within this month look at their FDB folder really quick to see so I can compare lol

So far it works, but I haven't had the time to run around all areas in all zones yet so idk.

Very first time I ran the new patched 4.0.5.2467 version, Runewaker threw me a Critical Error within like 10 seconds of hitting Start Game from the Launcher client window LOL.

I did notice that after you install the game, the Configuration button is greyed out on the Launcher client window, until you real game starts & u go into Settings then change ur stuff there within game & exit out then when you restart the Configuration button is clickable, not sure if it's meant to be that way.

And regardless of what people had said about doing a new installation regarding instance maps, CH 1-3 INSTANCE MAPS STILL DO NOT SHOW UP except for the Ch 4 Instances. Maybe the previous 3.5 client or whatever had that fixed? No idea, all I know is this this patched 4.0.5.2467 version only shows Ch 4 Instances....therefore the addons InstanceMapFix or WoWMaps-Instances is still needed. What makes no sense is sending in a ticket does nothing, lol Support always says that the maps aren't included in the game lol. It IS included in the game, even the people who wrote those map addons said they're in the game, Runewaker never fixed the location addresses for the client ever since Ch 3 was released to look in the right place when we access the maps...it's been over a year lol.

And all of ur 4 versions function properly with no problems at all?

I also discovered that, (same with my older version of RoM) that RoM still saves screenshots in a unrecognizable format. It's listed as .bmp, but ever since the most recent patch, only Paint will recognize it now. Windows Photo Gallery says "Photo gallery can't open this picture or video. This file format is not supported, or you don't have the latest updates to Photo Gallery." when trying to view ANY screenshot taken after 4.0.6.2483 was added to the game.

So they all have their own different problems... =/

My older version wouldn't let me into the HoS Cave entrance from Silverspring, a portal would block it preventing me from going there so I always have to teleport around Raven>WC>SL to get to HoS. I couldn't enter the Tempest Heights instance ever, I can run around the entire portal zone graphic on the ground but never get teleported anywhere meanwhile as soon as other players step inside the portal, they get teleported lol. My emote /roll won't show up in guild chat work unless I'm in a party. Game loved to give me an auto death if too many ppl landed on the same exact spot after teleporting, ie: in front of teleporters. Those r the ones that come to mind, there's more of course lol. Had to do a new installation because game got so bad that I could move for like 2 mins & game would give me a Runewaker critical error or Windows would give me a "RoM has stopped interacting with Windows" error after doing a fresh restart of the client lol. Game pretty much never crashed in those areas I consistently lately crash in until this last recent patch about 2 weeks ago. Did repatch the client, didn't help at all, if it did, it must've only decreased my crashes by 1% lol.

So does it seem like the bigger the file sizes the lesser the problems or smaller the files the lesser the problems or just are all randomized?

Frogster should totally release info on what our file sizes should officially be to NOT have any problems at all.

For Morrock... have u read thru http://forum.us.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=59390 yet? O_O
