Ragnarok Online

What works

Everything in the game appears to operate.

What does not

Mouse movement is a little slow, keyboard may also be slow-- this can be attributed to the power required to render the game.

There is a weird (and kind of annoying) delay between moving items between windows. For example: Moving an item from your character's inventory to the 'storage', 'cart' (for merchants), or 'trade' windows causes about a 200ms delay which appears to freeze the game during that time.

Additional Comments

• 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
