Works on windows, but sadly no support for Linux-users like me :( If linux gets a native integration for this extension the devs can have 5 stars from me :^)

Не написана минимальная требуемая версия Windows для патча собственного клиента, только зря потратил время на чтение разной информации по установке клиента и зря скачал клиент. Оказалось, что поддерживает только начиная с Windows 7, а у меня Windows XP.
