Turbine's released the downloader for Module 7. That means that you can predownload the patch, and not have to spend all day on the 3rd waiting for the download and the update!

The downloadable updater for Mod 7 is now available! This installer will update clients from Mod 6 to Mod 7. New players will still need to go through the normal patching process - this will only work for those whose clients are current as of today. It will not work for Risia.

The download-able updater means you can download it and patch your client before the update goes live on the servers, saving you time when they come back up. It also means you can download the patch on a computer that you don't have DDO installed on (i.e. your work computer), transfer the patch to a disk or device, and then run it on the computer with a DDO client to update it.

If you've pre-patched already, you'll save yourself quite a bit of time on patch day!

You can find the downloader here. An important note: This file will ONLY patch the North America/AU/NZ version of the DDO client. If you try to apply it to the EU version, you'll get an error message.
