RCP 9.2 will be here soon.

Do not worry, I have not forgotten.

New version of RCP Manager is ready and first compatibility packages (RCV's) for 9.2 will roll out tomorrow. (Without making 9.1-9.2 old ones simply won't work).

For following reasons RCV's will be rolled with delays between them, proceeding from most recent (9.1-9.2) to oldest (7.1-7.2).
- saturating net with seeds/webseeds (RCP will be released via torrent and web hostings).
- testing, there is always some to do.
- patching, it always comes after testing.
- minor updates to Manager.
- my bandwidth.
- my time.

RCP release delayed until 9.2 rolls out.

Tittle pretty much sums it up.

Although I could rush RCP 9.1 before 9.2 release, it have little sense.

Instead I will use this time to polish up new RCP manager and correct some bugs in previous releases. As of now full 8.x chain is complete.

I guess I can share some info on new form of upcoming RCP release:

- same awesome cascade RCC system as before, but tuned up a few notches.
- full 7.x and 8.x support will be released in parts. I pretty much have it ready, but preparing such amount of data for release gonna take a while so I'll just share it in parts.
- third generation RCPmanager utility (with drag&drop).
- no more RCPdownloader, instead RCP will be released via torrent boosted by webseed (direct download). At some point I will add update notifier to RCPm utility.
- increasing size - RCP system uses files from original game, which means it gets fatter together with WoT (recently mostly due to graphic changes). However average amount of data RCP requires per versions is still around 1GB.
- RCP manager will not provide support for Windows XP anymore. As of now minimal requirements are same as those of .NET 4.5. If you are still fanatically worshiping obsolete technology you may attempt to use Mono, however have in mind that I will provide no support at all for issues with it.

For any other:

1. Go to: your server equivalent of: http://worldoftanks.com/en/content/docs/update/
2. Copy url of equivalent of: "Download Full Client Archive", for NA it is: http://redirect.wargaming.net/WoT/latest_install_na
3. Paste it to RedirectCheck (and click Trace of course)
4. Copy "Location" from output, for NA it is: http://dl.wargaming.net/wot/us/files/WoT_0.8.8_na_install.zip
5. Replace 7 with 8, for NA: http://dl.wargaming.net/wot/us/files/WoT_0.8.8_na_install.zip
6. Wait until WG puts file on server. RU is already done, but other needs translations and nerfs to your favorite tank to be complete.

Consider it dead, stay tuned for RCPm v2.0

Separating WoT mods for ease of management.

As with every update, some mods stopped working properly.
But how to tell which mod is causing game to not load?
And even if you find out, how will you distinguish its files from parts of other mods?
Even then, what about mods that overwrite each other files?
Its hell.

So here is simple solution I just implemented in my copy of 8.8:

Idea and purpose of Comment Section on RCP blog.

If you followed my RCP threads on craptastic NA forum, I often attempted to turn them into knowledge base, fully answering to all properly asked RCP related questions even if it meant repeating myself (which I do not like to do).

After migrating to Blog I limited my RCP related activity on official forum to bare minimum because moderators gone crazy.
You can find me on WotLabs forum and communicate with me in corresponding RCP thread, but mind that moderation on that forum is very good and not forgiving. Idiots tend to disappear very quickly.

[Updated] No more updates until further notice.

UPDATE

Further notice has arrived. I am back.

RCP 8.8 will be delayed indefinitely until further notice.

Most, if not all, of my activity on blog, forums and in game will also temporary cease to exist.
