Bigg's Adventure Patcher
========================

1. Unzip BiggsAdventurePatcher.exe into your game folder.
2. Double-click BiggsAdventurePatcher.exe to run it.
3. Log in with your website username and password.
4. Wait for the patch to finish, then press Play.

If Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC", click
"More info" and then "Run anyway". The patcher is not code-signed,
so this warning is expected.

If the admin gave you a file named patcher_access.json, keep it in
the same folder as BiggsAdventurePatcher.exe - the patcher needs it
to reach the server.

Game crashing or acting strange? Press SEND LOGS in the patcher (you do
not need to start the game). Type a short note about what happened; your
hjclient.log, UIErrors.txt, Logs\dbg.txt, the newest crash dump and a list
of your client file versions are sent to the server team. Your
eqclient.ini and chat logs are never sent. You can also upload logs on the
website: log in and open "Send logs".

The patcher updates itself: when a new version is out it downloads it,
restarts, and shows "Patcher updated to ..." at the top. If that ever
fails it tells you to download the new patcher from the website
(Downloads page) and replace BiggsAdventurePatcher.exe by hand.

The patcher never installs MacroQuest. If you installed MacroQuest
yourself, tick "Auto-Launch MacroQuest" to start it with the game; while
the box is unticked, PLAY closes a MacroQuest left running in the tray.

If the patcher itself will not open, look for patcher_error.log next to
BiggsAdventurePatcher.exe and send it to the server team.
