Consequently after the Steam Download, an extended Patch (Update) session is needed to bring the client current.This "patch" frequently takes longer than the original download, as it includes both Expansions (Update 8 - Riders of Rohan; and Update 12 - Helm's Deep) as well as the various updates along the way.The Steam download of LOTRO of the Mac Client for LOTRO requires roughly 20GB of disk space. Download time is approximately 2.5 - 3 hours depending upon your communications speeds.NOTE: The Mac Client downloaded via Steam is identical to the Mac Client downloaded from lotro.com.

The Steam client is a 1.5 MB download.If you currently have the Steam Mac Client installed, simply navigate to the "Store," search for "Lord of the Rings," click "Play" and the download will begin.

This process will take an addition 20-40 minutes depending upon

Your CPU and disk speed.There is no indicator that anything is happening during portions of this process, especially the "applying Forward Iterations" section -- no slider movement, countdown timer, etc.Steam NotesSteam installs the Mac Client itself in:~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Lord of the Rings Online/The Lord of the Rings Online™.appLocation of Steam files under ~/Library/Application Support/SteamAll other file locations and comments are identical to the Turbine Mac Client Download information (see below).If you want to keep Steam on an external drive, simply move the contents of the folder "~/Library/Application Support/Steam" to your external drive, and then provide a symbolic link back to the original location:cd ~/Library/"Application Support" (note that the space needs to be "escaped")ln -s "/Volumes//Steam"To launch LOTRO without using the Steam interfaceOption 1 -- launch LOTRO once via the Steam Interface.

The LOTRO Mac Client!The Verify simply compares the "checksums" of what it has to download with what is on your computer. These will ALWAYS be different because the Patching of the LOTRO Client is done directly by Turbine, and the Steam Download is never patched. Consequently, the checksums will always be different, and will always result in a complete download of all patched files... which then just have to be patched again!DDO Download under SteamDDO download size -- 7.6GBSteam installs the Mac Client itself in:~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Dungeons and Dragons Online/DNDLauncher.appDNDLauncher.app - is the actual game launcher.Accessibility MessageIf you get the following messages:The first comes from Steam: Steam - Game Overlay AccessThe in-game Steam overlay requires access to assistive devices to be enabled.The second comes from OSX (10.9.4 or later)Steam.app would like to control this computer using accessibility features.Note the following. (Explanation from HenryG of Valve)10.9.4 is stricter with application updates than previous versions of the OS. Also, our recent "blue" update was a big one-time change under the hood, and it reorganized the way our application bundle is organized for better compatibility with 10.9.4 and 10.10. The change in bundle structure is confusing OS X until the next system reboot.This issue doesn't affect everybody, and once you get the issue resolved, it will no longer occur with future updates. Also, it shouldn't occur for anyone who does a fresh install from the website for the first time. The corruption issue only affects users who already authorized the old-style (pre-blue) application on a 10.9.x or 10.10 system and haven't restarted since the update.Here are the steps - somewhat more detailed that previously posted:Quit Steam - Really quit it, don't simply hide it.Open System Preferences under the Apple MenuSelect "Security and Privacy"Select the "Privacy" tab.Select "Accessibility"The display will state: "Allow the apps below to control your computer.""Click the lock to make changes" -- enter your system passwordUnckeck "Steam.app"Close the System Preferences window.SHUTDOWN your systemBoot your system.Run Steam.Run LOTROWhen prompted enable Steam's access via system preferences(What you did in steps 2 through 8 above, with the exception that in step 7, CHECK "Steam.app")Quit LOTROQuit SteamRun Steam and launch LOTRO again: this time you should not be prompted for anythingThis sequence does work under 10.9.4 and later versions of OSX, including Yosemite.

After sending us into conniptions with partial information about Lord of the Rings Online’s newly announced 64-bit servers, Standing Stone Games’ Rob Ciccolini cleared the air when he sat down to give us the full scoop on last week’s studio livestream. While we still don’t have all of the details — including a firm opening date — we’re in a much better place to understand what’s going to happen and make plans for the future.Ever since watching that stream, my mind’s been abuzz with thoughts about the implications of this move. It could well be one of the biggest changes in LOTRO’s entire history with potential to be exciting and oh-so-messy. Let’s dig into it today!After absorbing all of the news and stepping back to look at the big picture here, I can confidently say — and I doubt SSG will rebut me here — is that the studio is rolling out these four servers to become the main LOTRO servers going forward. These aren’t a side experiment; these are the replacements.This accomplishes a couple big tasks, as Ciccolini spoke about on the livestream. The first is to consolidate the spread-out population onto larger severs so that more people can be together. This benefits the community as a whole with more kinship options, a livelier world, a more robust economy, and more people with whom to group for instances.The second, and probably more significant, is shepherding players off ancient and creaky servers plagued with issues and lag and onto new shards that hopefully will perform vastly better. As I suspected last year, the recent Angmar/Mordor legendary servers were kind of a test run for the 64-bit architecture, and it seems they passed this test.So the Great LOTRO Server Transfer of ’25 (can someone make t-shirts for this already?) is to lay a much more solid foundation for this MMO’s future. I absolutely loved hearing Ciccolini share that Daybreak is financially investing into LOTRO with tech like this because it projects strong confidence in many more years ahead. That’s comforting!There are additional smaller effects that these new servers will have. It’ll give Europe two new regular servers in its region for lower ping. It’ll allow players to rescue their characters from long-closed dead worlds (aka the dark worlds). It continues to safeguard roleplaying servers after a fashion. And it’ll give us all the opportunity to clean house, so to speak, by bringing together our characters, shared storage, and housing into one place.The upsides of this are many and very welcome. If, in the end, all works out to plan, then LOTRO will bring its whole population together, settle these new servers, and forge forward with better performance all around. That’s genuinely

I live in NZ and i only have a 10gb cap which i had to extend this month to 20g to DL it, cant be doing that again, I tried deleting all the files and moving the game back onto the C:/ as i had backed up the files on an external HD but the game still insists on re downloading. whats going on ???

It may be that Turbine Download Manager is just Validating the installed files and checking for any corrupt or missing files. (It should only download any files that do come up as corrupted or missing). Once it cycles through the Play button should become available.
