ive tried ur way and played around with mixing up the different softmod versions and reinstallations of sro but none of them worked.sometimes i can bypass that its expired/out of date as well as the client is corrupt,but when i load the game, it just gives me a microsoft error saying htat sro_client experienced a problem.any1 know how to fix that cuz im sure that if do,i shoudl be able to bot properly.i thought it might be the sro_client but i dont think so seeing as that i tried many different ones and still got the same error.
