Sorry again for choosing the wrong sections and many thanks for the help <3
Since your issue is resolved, I've moved this conversation to a separate thread, before LithStud has even noticed
so np.
So you got the standalone RU? Or you still plan to play on a dual-steam setup? I'm not running multiple BDO clients, and not through Steam, so can't really help you with optimizing the dual-steam setup. If you're running RU client not through Steam - that definitely makes your life way easier
, but if you bought both through Steam and even managed to progress there to an extent...yikes
Now that you mentioned Steam...your "config and service files" in the first post do sound like you were trying to re-purpose 1 client for both RU and EU/NA, if I'm correct - BDO clients are not interchangeable, it's not just 1 translation file difference, there are other translation files (text, audio, images) and various differences (items, events, even some features) between the clients, scattered across the game files, so while clients do share many files they are still significantly different. Have fun renaming them back and forth
No i bought just the normal BDO from steam for 99 cents, and since my friends play it but on the Russian servers, they sent me some guides and stuff to help me out connect to their server, without buying two copies of the game or without even needing two steam accounts.
So basically, now i have two folders with both BDO, Russian and EU version. The EU version is the one I bought and installed through steam.
So, this and last week, i launched manually the RU launcher and let it download the weekly patch, then i opened up steam and let it download the EU patch, and after that i just switched their main folder names, so steam thinks he's running the EU version but it's the RU instead >_<
Bonus: don't need the new "config" and "service" files each week, can just keep the same ones i already had. (Found out i can also get them through the BDO RU game downloader itself so it's all independent now
Once again thanks for the suggestion, it really solved my issue for good ^^ renaming two folders compared to having to re-download the entire thing twice is nothing =P
