I started Ryzom today and it patched itself successfully. Upon restarting Ryzom (from patch screen), it failed to go anywhere and this popup below appeared :
nel_drv_direct3d_win is more recent than the application
only 2 buttons:
Exit and HELP (by the way, clicking the Help button brought me to this specific thread)
I did a forum search and no one seam to have reported this error.
Googleing on this message only reveals this link:

Motherboard MSI-6712
