Ragnarok Online

What works

Installing the game and launching the launcher.

What does not

Updating the Game via launcher and playing the game. Using an up to date version won't start either, as it wants to download old patches which it doesn't need.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Playing the Game.

Hardware tested

• GPU:

Additional Comments

I even tried to use other mfc42.dll, msvcp60.dll, msvcp70.dll and msvcp71.dll, but it won't update.

• 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
