Anybody else having patch client issues? I know that we'll have a Mac client soon, which might negate this question, but for now the official word is:
"However it will not be available with today's release. It's getting some last minute bug fixes and polish."
Boo. Hiss. It worked just fine in the beta. :( Oh fine, I guess I shouldn't be complaining.

For what it's worth... Yes patching via PyLotRO seems to be I N C R E D I B L Y slow.
PyLotRO spends a tremendous amount of time "Checking Files."
However, that simply delays the inevitable -- boom.
None of the beta versions has worked in WINE, and WineHQ is just now getting around to looking at the issue -- at least from a Linux point of view.
The problem with the Mac Client is fairly simple -- it is a 32 bit app and therefore limited to addressing 3.7GB of virtual memory. It wants more and promptly crashes.
The fix is not quite so simple. The app needs to be made 64bit clean.
It's not a matter of slowness for me... Launch day patches are always slow. However, I'm getting an error with the first patch after checking files, which seems to be an issue with the client trying to patch itself. I've attached a screenshot below.
Following that, I get this printout:
Self patch required. Program will restart.

As a side note, this might be a me-specific problem... My hard drive is on the fritz (I've got a new one coming in the mail and have backed the current files up), which is causing various odd issues with my computer.
And, also, these forums, and specifically your replies, have been a godsend to me as a player. I just wanted to throw in a thank you while I've got your attention.

That happened to me too, I was able to successful patch the game, but i can't play at all. Apparently ROR blocks this program from working with the game. It's such a bummer. I have two desktops I could play on but I've gotten so spoiled on my mac LOL
Even though I didn't expect it to work, I tried patching just to see what would happen. I was actually able to get through the patching okay, but once I try and log in I get an error that a critical error has occurred. If anyone is interested this is what the log said:

I was getting that earlier but just tried again and it started patching. I'm patching right now but don't anticipate being able to log in using crossover from what others have said.

But the Windows client is 32-bit.

Does it use one of those weird hacks like address windowing extensions or something? But that couldn't help either on systems with < 4 GB of RAM, right?
Well, the good news is someone submitted a patch to WineHQ that seems to fix the problem: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31979
Hopefully this can make it into a new CrossOver release before too long.
When can we expect this patch to be incorporated into Crossover?
The RoR patch needs two passes.
The first pass tends to hang or otherwise fail.
Basically, it is patching itself, (patchclient.dll) and the Windows Client will normally restart on its own.
Simply quit PyLotRO, and restart it.
It should check how far it has gone, and pick-up where it left off.
Time is "iffy" -- we're in a "landrush" so the patch server is swamped and that also causes issues.
I started about 9 am... and finished sometime around 8pm!!!
I basically "let it run" from 9 till about 6pm, then aborted and re-started PyLotro and about 2 hours later it was done.
Of course, after the patching is complete... the client still does not run.
There is a WINE patch, but it is for WINE 1.5.15 -- Crossover is only at WINE 1.4.1, so I don't know if it is possible to make the same patch to that level and have it work, or if other issues will crop-up.
It is also not obvious that the WINE patch "fixes everything." It does allow the game to launch, but reports are starting to surface that it still fails after running a bit.

In a word, Yes.

As far as I know, those issues are with people trying to use the OpenGL renderer. I played a few hours yesterday with wine patched with that patch (using the same settings (ie. DX renderer etc.) I used before RoR), and it ran rather well, that is to say I didn't notice anything different (well, other than the obvious 'a new expansion' thing).
There is supposedly a patch available on MacPorts. https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/x11/wine-crossover/Portfile Can someone explain this to me? I have no idea how to apply something like that but im wondering if that's possible, wouldn't that mean that crossover could be fixed with a simple update?

Two answers...
1-I have no idea what this MacPorts version of Crossover is. And was unaware of it until your posting.
2- In response to a query of my own to MacPorts yesterday, looking for help with Macports Wine...
I've just applied it to the wine-crossover port. Seems to work fine.
2- Find out how to configure "raw WINE" on the mac. In particular how to point it to the existing Crossover WINE Bottles.
Pointers to appropriate OSX oriented instructions are desired.
Any help is greatly appreciated.After installing wine-crossover, all you should need to run is (all
one
line, ignore any line breaks inserted by email software):WINEPREFIX="/Users/<you>/Library/Application
Support/CrossOver/Bottles/Lord of the Rings Online" wine
~/Library/Application\ Support/CrossOver/Bottles/Lord\ of\ the\
Rings\
Online/drive_c/Program\ Files/PyLotRO/pylotro.exe
I have not yet had an opportunity to do anything with this.
I still can't get patching to even begin to get to the point where Crossover fails to run LOTRO. ☹️

There has never been a problem with patching that I am aware of.
What problem are you experiencing and with what versions of CrossOver and PyLotRO?

I'm using CrossOver 11.2.2 and it looks like PyLOTRO 0.1.13. I have yet to get the patch to even initiate.
On first patch attempt, the first two cycles result in zero patches with the last cycle aborting:
