SoM is here
« on: December 02, 2009, 05:25:27 PM »
Codemasters did it again. SoM is here now, and I am not kidding you  :)


EDIT: Ok, seems that just the client has to be updated to get into game, but the servers are still running without SoM. Dang :(

Was about to post a similar topic, but figured I would check the CM forums first and see what i could find there.

Something weird going on though. I got two Mace of the Glutton drops from Tinnudir robbers (the level 33-35 ones), as I happened to kill four of them. That mace requires Honour rank 5, so not quite sure why it was dropping in Tinnudir...

Anyway, had to log off now, lots to do today and I have the damn early shift at work tomorrow.

So should i use the pre-patch now? Or not? Don't want to screw up my client, but dont want to download 1 Gig with my connection again...

start game at login screen point it to where you downloaded and wait, it will apply it ready for whatever patch we get tomorrow for localisation and quick bug squashes.

your pointing it to the exe file in the folder "LOTROEU_Mirkwood_Standalone_Patch_European"? and not just the folder?

afaik (from previous patches) hitting continue redownloads the patch.

you could always run the DL'd exe by itself.

As I mentioned earlier in game, I think I'm using an incomplete file.

I know for sure I have the complete file on my home PC, so will give it a go when I get back.

Cheers for the input anyway guys.

Checked the game before getting to work this morning. There was a patch to download, the game proceeded to download it about half-way in a couple minutes, then got an 403 error (what ever that means). Anyway, looks like the patch for today isn't very big.

I hope the servers are up when I get home from work at 12 GMT, can't wait to check out the skirmishes :)
