hi i downloaded the client and instaled it. when i ran the program it said update to 0.9.8. so i went to the download page and click the 0.9.8 client. uninstaled the old one and ran the new one. and again it said download the 0.9.8 client. what gives?
It will autopatch up to the latest version after you run the game...
when i run it it shows a black screen with the link saying please upgrade to 0.9.8.0 client before you can continue click this to go to www.fantasyrealmonline.com
Are you running the game from the shortcut or trying directly from the froclient.exe, there is a seperate patch executable that runs when you run from the shortcut.
