ML Bot for Mtgo v4 switchover

Hello botters,

As you probably already know, mtgo v3 will be retired soon and mtgo v4 will be the only official mtgo client. The announcement from Chris Kiritz can be found here and gives July as a date, right before the release of M15.

Our plan is to release the ML Bot client for mtgo v4 two weeks before the switchover so everyone will have the time to update their bots. This will not be a "beta", testing is no more required - this will be the official "first version" of the bot for mtgo v4.

In order to make the transaction smooth, we will be online 24/7 on LiveChat and on Skype (our account is "mtgolibrary.support"). You will probably need to add more ram to your virtual machines because Mtgo v4 needs more ram than v3 (2gb per machine are recommended). We will provide some virtual machines in case you need a good starting point. Please make sure you can install and launch Mtgo v4 on your machines and that it runs without crashes - we are in fact aware of some users unable to load Mtgo v4 properly.

We will run some v4 bots next week (we'll give the names), feel free to trade with them and write us the feedback.

    yes, it will be. Compatibility will be surely with Windows Vista, 7 and 8. We are currently testing WinXP

      yes, during the spotlight we used vmware machines with 2gb ram. Win7 was slimmed down a bit, removing all the unnecessary tasks

    if u made it work in winXP would be ACE Albert as i already have my superslim 200mb windowsxp's
    Manuel Garcia, assuming you will slim down windows 7 to bare bits 2GB should be ok (but id have another 1-2GB on pagefile just in case).

    The only concern with XP is that it is no more supported by Microsoft. Win Xp will surely work fine in 2014 and 2015, but what about 2017? We'll see how the stability tests go

    I never install windows updates so being supported by Microsoft or not means nothing to me :) unless mtgo becomes incompatible with xp
