Update for clients that cannot patch.
We're trying to get away from our existing autopatcher. It uses FTP which has been all kinds of nasty in terms of people's firewalls, ISPs blocking ports, etc. Our plans are to release a new full-client download, as well as instructions on how to build your own client from a basic Sakray 1010 installation.
This client will more or less REPLACE your existing RO installation, and we will be discontinuing support for our old client. Patches will no longer be released with the old Ethereal client, and will be completely migrated to a newer client.
Yes, this means that you will all need to download a new full client (~1 GB). If you already have a the Sakray 1010 client, the download will be a simple patch to bring you up to date. If you'd like to get a head start and jump on getting a Sakray 1010 client, I'll put up a topic in General for a list of recommended sites to get it from.
Meanwhile...
For those of you that have been waiting for a manual patch, please download this file and REPLACE your existing mdata.grf in your Ragnarok folder. This should get your existing client updated enough so that you can play.
