Yeah, it's a big boy. But it didn't take very long for me to grab. A few hours or so.

From the Steam page, it still says it ends Mar 26th. If that is PST, then it should be ending in a few minutes. Do you have a link to confirm that it was extended until Sunday? If so, I will update the news to reflect that so people know.

Yes, there most likely would be an issue. It has to be a very specific version otherwise there are bound to be bugs if it even works at all.

Just wanted to point this out (for the sake of completeness of the information about the SoD client):

Quote:
From what I can tell so far, it looks like the SoD client will be much more stable than the SoF client is, and maybe even better than Titanium is since they added multi-core CPU support among other great features.
What Sony actually did is preemptively disable multi-core support by locking itself to one core. This is still a plus, as it requires no special effort from the user for it to run correctly, but it indeed does not support running on multiple cores.

Yes, they did do that, but they also set it so that if you start another EQ session while one is already running, the second session will use the next available core. So, for people with dual or quad cores, this will make it so boxing uses each of their cores instead of all being hard set to 1 of them, or them having to manually change them each time.

Though, by multi-core support, I mostly meant that they resolved most of the previous multi-core issues with EQ. EQEmu players using SoD should not have to do anything special in order to play whether they run a multi-core CPU or not. That is a nice bonus, as many have had multi-core problems, and wasted hours of time to resolve them, if they were ever even able to resolve them. Having a client that can readily support today's hardware is a big plus IMO.

I am hoping the Public Login Server is compatible with SoD soon. We are running out of issues to fix with SoD, and need more players using it to give us bug reports so we can fix them. As it is, it looks like it is nearly caught up with SoF and may not be long before it is caught up with Titanium (or surpassing it).

Again, I strongly recommend that anyone who has not picked up a copy of SoD yet do so now before that sale ends! It is an amazing deal for what I believe is an amazing client for EQEmu. I have not had even 1 client crash that wasn't caused by development work. So far, it seems even more stable than Titanium is!
