====================================
RIFT 1.4 Hotfix #2 - 8/5/11

GENERAL

* Fixed an issue with redundant quest text for Crafting Weekly Quests.


CLIENT
* Fixed a startup crash when running on Wine/CrossOver with low video memory. If you still experience crashes when entering the world, try enabling the low quality renderer and/or playing at a lower resolution as a workaround.

"Added more anti-cheats and invasion of privacy for our users"

Just curious, what (more) "invasion of privacy" was added, if you know?

 

will i get a day back?

 

i don't, i don't mess around w/ the code, i just do profiles. This is a dev question

 

<shakes magical 8 ball>

outlook looks good

 

the devs keep very quiet about the information they find concerning Trion's anti-bot security, and for good reason. If you're looking to find out what specifically Trion added, this forum will proably be the wrong place to look.

^^ Ya, it's a joke (for the most part) - but you can't put it past Trion! >:-(

 

Hmm, EU hasn't patched yet and the bot is still running i guess?

 

I think they'll patch tomorrow - a day after US.

 

yes the patch is done....rtm not work right now

 

Any status on the bot as far as the new patch?

 

http://www.ryftomate.com/general/932-incoming-na-region-update-8-00am-pdt-8-10-11-a.html

 

no release for 2day..

 

Patience It will come

 

a 2nd patch came. it's 12-24 hours per patch (or so) before the bot is safe to use. Trion is very sneaky about their anti-cheat stuff
