I made it.
Here are the steps I went through to make it work:
- installed Ryzom from scratch, without patching.
- made a backup of the whole Ryzom folder.
- copied all of the files of the development build of the client in the folder of Ryzom.
- When ran, the client crashed, saying that "nel_drv_direct3d_win_r.dll" was newer than it was supposed to be. I went to the backup I created, and got that version of the file.
- I ran the game and installed the patch.
- The client got restarted, but was working afterwards.
