I'm tagging everyone I can think of.
Even the launcher is different. Patching has been INSANELY streamlined. However, ,there is a new option in "Options" that lets you use the 32-bit client. We need to look at both the 32 bit and 64 bit client. I think it was said that there's shit missing from the 64 bit client that lets us create the serializers. If the changes are present in both variants...it's entirely possible Cryptic is trying to put more effort into retrofitting their old-ass engine.
For someone that still has unpatched content,, copy it somewhere else and download the new stuff, unpack both, and try to do a diff or something on the filesizes. It's entirely possible the strategy is elsewhere now.
EDIT: There's something now called the "Costume System". I can see it loading, with interesting classes such as "DynCostumes, costumecategory, costumematerial, costumebone, costumegeometry, costumeskeleton", and costumeset, and so on. It is entirely possible Cryptic has assumed the correct (but bad for us) stance of assuming the client is retarded and otherwise knows nothing about what it's talking about, and the server's content must be honored. If that's the case, there is not only nothing that can be done, there can even be nothing done about it in the future.
I don't even crash with my old mod content. It just appears to all be otherwise ignored.
Right now I'm having nothing complete short of total mental fucking panic.
