Is out now!

Grab it directly from M$

I am away from my home machine, so I can't give any feedback on how MxO works with it until later on this evening.

I'll install tonight and post tomorrow if there's any issues or otherwise.

Installed, and it does not fix the indoor lag issues (after disabling the modellighting lines with #'s)

I tried without the workaround, and it has reduced the lag, but hasn't eliminated it.  I am using the workaround again.

Still, it's good, everything else runs smoothly, and I think I've gained a few fps in Crysis!

Excuse the double post.

The release has been delayed, as there are compatability issues with RMS/Chip and Pin solutions.

More info on RMS

I installed it.

It should be fine if you've installed it, they only pulled it for the RMS issue, which I might add, SP1 for Vista went out with!

Well SP3 doesn't cause any problems with MxO that I can find so far. Certainly no slow-down.

I'd say install away, and wait for the RMS fix, unless you use a smart-card to log in.

It was officially released late yesterday.  You can still get it from the link I posted, or use Windows Update.

I've checked the filesize and hash, and the release is identical to the one in the original post.

I got the scoop on this one!

Happy patching!

Is it stable? Knowing M$ it'll probably break my comp. SMILEY

Been using it on both my home and work computers for over a week now, and haven't had a single probem.

It's very stable in my humble opinion.

Meh a quick google search doesn't indicate any major problems... but still I think I'll leave it another week before trying to install. SMILEY
