Ragnarok Online

What works

Setup works perfectly.

What does not

Ragnarok.exe complains about MFC42.DLL not being found in C:\windows\system32\MFC42.DLL even though it does exist. It also is residing in the RO directory. The patcher has the same issues.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Actual gameplay.

Hardware tested

Graphics:

• GPU:
• Driver:

Additional Comments

I think the error is in that winecfg's dll tool automatically switches them to lowercase, and RO requests it in uppercase.

• 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
