Excepted on Steam, version 3.0 clients are not official because to an incoming patch to migrate from 2.1 (official) to 3.0 (official) clients.
Official windows client 2.1 is not able to support all architectures and was only designed to support 32 bits Windows.
I'm still working on a tool to migrate Ryzom 2.1 to 3.0 automatically and players only will need to click on one button to make it (I'm working alone on it and I have full-time job not related to Ryzom so it could take some time).
We are providing 3.0 client for Steam because it doesn't use the official patch system and can be updated for each platform independently :)
When using a beta client from my URLs, I strongly suggest to download a "full" static client (the ones that are bigger) since they have patch enabled and will patch themselves automatically when needed.
When the full final patch will be released, this "beta" client will patch a last time and switch to official patch servers :)
Are you sure current official clients are so buggy ? We updated the Windows one to 2.1 (the last official client).
