The ryzom_client doesn't know how to do the right checks. It does not check if the executable is the right one, it just checks if the files are present in unpack/, which is a huge source of bugs when applying patches with the client.
If you don't want to use the launcher to play, it is strongly recommended to either use Ryztart to check the installation or to redo a ryzom installation (keeping the data folder)
Soon, we will make available zip files containing only the exexcutable in order to be able to update the client manually and Ryztart will display both local client version and the latest client version from patch
