Darkfall Online: Leaked Beta Patchnotes Build 78

And again news from the Darkfall Beta front.

New Patch

We have fixed most of the problems people had with the patching process. You should all get decent patching speeds now.

A new patch has been released.
We've reset the patch system and done some optimization on the dataset. The complete dataset has been reduced to around 8 GB in this patch instead of 20 GB as it was before.

We've gone up several build numbers since the last patch, and the characters have been wiped.
