question about clients

Post by thefoof » Thu Jan 03, 2013 11:18 pm

Quick question: I have a client updated to live and the 6118l client from a retail disc I have from sf launch. I do not have access to the most recent 2 xpacs (AoD and CoE) so I'm not sure that I have all of the files installed to work with the live client? To the question; should I bother reporting bugs from the 6118l client or would that be kind of useless for project goals? I would use the latest but as I don't think the patcher downloads all the current files if you don't have the xpacs for the files bought (making the client kind of unreliable for detecting actual bugs).

If you have the Sentinel's Fate DVD, install that. It is client version 6120L. Then, using our client patcher tool, back-patch it to 6118L. It should work fine, though all of our efforts today are towards DoV+ clients. AoD was never supported (we skipped it). Submitting bugs for SF clients (that do not already exist in Bug Tracker) would be welcome.

If you download the current live COE (free-to-play) client, that should be the current supported client, and submitting bug reports for CoE is now welcome due to the fact our team believes we have most of the SF/DoV supported features working in CoE. If not, it's a bug and should be fixed.

Live will download everything (assuming you are not using the streaming client) even if you don't have the expansions enabled. I just tested this with my live client, I also never purchaced AoD or CoE but I was still able to zone to the new CoE zones.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry it was just confusion on my end, my client was just faulty somehow I ran a full asset scan on the patcher and it's working now thanks :roll:
