Ragnarok Online

What works

The game loads, but it seems to be lagging horribly? I don't have the best hardware on this laptop (2ghz proc, 512mb ram, ATI mobility 7500) but it actually runs. The game suffers from the 'quarter window glitch'

What does not

The patcher crashes occasionally, with no accompanying error message.

Workarounds

Additional Comments

No longer running FC6, Need to test on Arch Linux (0.7.2). Sorry I didn't get this up earlier. ^^;

• Game starts with fatal error and closes.

You need vcrun2008 for gameplay work. If you execute this without vcrun2008, your instalation can be corrupt (the cause is unknow).
(This does not apply to openpatcher).

• Patcher not shows information of update or receives error
  

Install wine gecko package (the package name varies according with your distribution). you can optionally install ie6 with winetricks instead of wine gecko package. Both work well.

• The game is slow
  

Download this file and add to wine registry:

$ regedit boost.reg
(The performance gain is high.)

• Tweaks in game for performance:

• Simplify aura with /aura command
• Simplify effects with /mineffect command, or use /effect for disable all effects.
• Disable fog with /fog command
