What do you mean "I'll have to upload the RC2 ZIP"? Do I have to upload the files incrementally - from RC2 and then from RC3?
I tried running finalupgrade from newly uploaded RC3, got a db error at step 5:
Code:
Database error in vBulletin 3.8.4:
Invalid SQL:
REPLACE INTO template

(-1, 'template', 'vault_special_version', '\" . construct_phrase(\"$vbphrase[special_version_explain]\", \"$nwsphome\", \"$specialhome\")
