How can I know which version of PoE is being run ?

Greetings,

the title of the topic is pretty simple and self explaining, but I haven't found a way to answer the question. Is there a place where it is clearly displayed something like : "The current version running on the servers is 0.11.3." ? I want to retrieve that info by using a software I will write, and checking the home page of www.pathofexile.com seems hard. I may be able to find some hints (traces of words like 0.11.3, etc) but it is not enough, because it could just be news about that version.

Any ideas ?

@Vakirauta,

Thank you for pointing me that. Unfortunately, I don't see where it is stored, as plain text (it could even not be stored as that). I searched for any textfile. I found something similar : the Client.txt file, in the logs folder, in the installation folder of the game. But, unless I am mistaken, I have to launch the game in order to update the textfile first. I don't like this. Is there any other way ?

Bottom right hand corner.

If you don't want to login, go into the game folder and into the logs folder and opent the Client.txt get to the bottom and you should see something like patch202.pathofexile.com:8095/patch/0.11.3.2/ in the last few lines

0.11.3.1 would be game version 0.11.3
0.11.3.2 would be game version 0.11.3b

@lagwin1980 :

Yes, it works, but unless I am mistaken, that file only get updated when you launch the Client.exe. So, if any patch were to be released, and I did not patch the game, I would not be able to detect the new release version.

In other words, I want to get the latest version in any situation (first launch after a patch, second launch or more after a patch) ^^ Anyway, I thank you too for your answer.

@Drakier :

Thank you for your answer. I tool a closer look. At the moment, no negative thought comes to my mind, so I will suppose the case is solved :)

As a memo, and for anyone coming after me, the regex used to look for the current version, in the patch_notes.rtf file, is :
