Yes, there most likely would be an issue. It has to be a very specific version otherwise there are bound to be bugs if it even works at all.

Just wanted to point this out (for the sake of completeness of the information about the SoD client):

From what I can tell so far, it looks like the SoD client will be much more stable than the SoF client is, and maybe even better than Titanium is since they added multi-core CPU support among other great features.

What Sony actually did is preemptively disable multi-core support by locking itself to one core. This is still a plus, as it requires no special effort from the user for it to run correctly, but it indeed does not support running on multiple cores.

Yes, they did do that, but they also set it so that if you start another EQ session while one is already running, the second session will use the next available core. So, for people with dual or quad cores, this will make it so boxing uses each of their cores instead of all being hard set to 1 of them, or them having to manually change them each time.

Though, by multi-core support, I mostly meant that they resolved most of the previous multi-core issues with EQ. EQEmu players using SoD should not have to do anything special in order to play whether they run a multi-core CPU or not. That is a nice bonus, as many have had multi-core problems, and wasted hours of time to resolve them, if they were ever even able to resolve them. Having a client that can readily support today's hardware is a big plus IMO.
