Please Help me I just recently downloaded this game took a day to install full with like 5 gb. Then Ive been installing updates for EVER! 2.1.2.1945.en atm. Is there something wrong here is this normal because from what Im gathering it has to be 2.1.6.2065 or something and if thats so thats going to take years or months this is Friggin ridiculous.
Well, yes. It is a bit silly. But bear with me for a moment...
Check the update level in the lower right corner of the program launcher. As long as it is progressing upwards, it's still updating. If it seems to be stuck on one of the updates for a *very* long time, it might be hung up.
There are a couple of possible cures for this: You can exit the program and restart it to see if that will "unstick" the autoupdater. If this doesn't work, then you can manually patch the game yourownself. The patch links are in the first message of this thread. Take note of the *last* good update patch that was applied (lower right corner, remember?) and download all of the patches you need, beginning with that one. Copy them *all* into your main RoM folder (C:\Program Files\Runes of Magic) and run each one, in ascending order.
Or, you can go to the trouble of downloading the *new* client from the EU website, which is far more current than the one available on the US site. (The EU client downloads are at version 2.1.6.2049.) Completely uninstall what you have, and delete the personal RoM folder that's under your \Users\{name} folder. Then install the new client and let it update. You will have to make sure that you change the Region and Language to USA and EN.
Hope this helps.
