HELPPPP i just downloaded the new patch for talismans and when i try to patch it asks to retry the autopatch, manual patch, and bypass. when i bypass and try to login it says that it cant read my server.dat and to reinstall the game. It takes a long ass time to reinstall the game and then i would have to re download and extract all the armor edits/effects that ive downloaded to make my guy look cooler. i really wanna avoid re-downloading co.:confused:

yeah same thing happened to me, but i think it means that you're not supposed to download it yet. I usually just wait it out and it works out for the better. just chill I'm positive there's nothing to worry about.

EDIT: ok mine just autopatched...i'd try to autopatch now

failed to mention that it's b/c u downloaded and installed cidproxy. I have the same problem. Does anyone have an original server.dat file or whatever it is i need to copy back in to conquer to make it work normal.

Yeah you need the latest server.dat, either cidproxy or an older update has overwritten it.
