In my opinion, if the new graphics engine is ever done.......they should trash the old patching system (highly unlikely) or make it more intuitive and user friendly. Anyone who has played AO for a long time knows what I'm talking about. The patching system is a relic at best, and woefully unpredictable; sometimes it works, sometimes it screws up the whole AO installation and you have to delete and reinstall, sometimes you have to roll back the patch and manually change certain files lol, yeah we remember, but I think that would be a way to NOT piss people off. It is really annoying.
