How to Play
Installation
1. Download 1_Database.7z, 2_Server.7z, 3_Client.7z, and all GRF files (data.grf, prerenewal.grf, and rdata.grf) in CLIENT_GRF (Chose only one link) (Repack Size: 5GB, Original Size: 7GB). For the BGM, you can choose between LQ_BGM.7z or HQ_BGM.7z.
OPTIONAL: If you want to use OpenKore for botting, you can also download 4_OpenKore.7z.
NOTE: Download all of them 1 by 1. DO NOT download the folder all at once (zipping).

2. Create RO_PreRenewal folder. You can create your own folder name but DON'T USE SPACE IN THE PATH in the name (Recommended folder location example: C:\RO_PreRenewal\, D:\RO_PreRenewal\, D:\PCGAMES\RO_PreRenewal\, etc.). See SCREENSHOT.png for reference.
3. Extract these files (1_Database.7z, 2_Server.7z, 3_Client.7z) and place them inside RO_PreRenewal folder. Also extract 4_OpenKore inside that folder if you want to use OpenKore.
4. Copy these 3 GRF (data.grf, prerenewal.grf, rdata.grf) from CLIENT_GRF folder to 3_Client folder
5. Copy BGM folder (Choose between LQ_BGM.7z (Default) and HQ_BGM.7z) to 3_Client folder. NOTE: The high-quality version only has the pre-renewal, everything else (renewal) is still in low quality.
NOTE: The Prontera Town HQ BGM has some playback issue in the beginning if you hear it in the game but not if you play it with music player, to combat this issue I also upload the mono version of the BGM, 08.mp3.
6. Run laragon.exe (1_Database). Laragon will run on the system tray. (If any firewall confirmation appears, choose Yes)
7. Run runserver.bat (2_Server). It will open 4 CMD (logserv.bat, charserv.bat, webserv.bat, and mapserv.bat) (If any firewall confirmation appears, choose Yes)
8. Run Ragnarok.exe or Ragnarok_XKore.exe (3_Client) (If you want to use OpenKore XKore) (If any firewall confirmation appears, choose Yes)
NOTE: It's recommended to exclude the .exe or even the folder (RO_PreRenewal) from Antivirus to make loading faster, but it's ok not to follow this recommendation if you don't trust me.
In my PC, Ragnarok.exe is not detected as virus by Windows Security, but in my other PC is, I don't know why but you can exclude Ragnarok.exe in Windows Security.
But if you don't trust me, I also upload WARP with the EXE (2020-05-06aRagexe.exe) and the profile (2020-05-06aRagexe.yml) I used (in TOOLS folder) if you want to diff the client by yourself.

Troubleshooting
| Problems | Solutions |
|---|---|
| Ragnarok.exe won't run | Try to run opensetup.exe first, and change resolution in graphic setting section and use DirectX 7 graphics API |
| Install this Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One (This also applied if you can't run the server because missing MSVCR110) | |
| Delete savedata folder inside 3_Client | |
| Ragnarok.exe won't run, crash, stuck, graphic bug/glitch | If the client crash alot, or stuck at loading screen, the culpirt maybe from the high FPS from using dgVoodoo2 (I'm using dgVoodoo2 to make the client running at higher FPS and to increase maximum supported resolution.). You can force vsync using dgVoodooCpl.exe (3_Client) > DirectX > Force V-Sync. Look in the TOOLS folder in download link to get the screenshot of the default settings. |
| Change dgVoodoo setting. Set the Output API to different setting or change adapter to your GPU or turn down VRAM in DirectX from 4096 to 2048, 1024 or 512. | |
If none any of those works try to delete these following files to remove dgVoodoo2:
|
|
| Client runs poorly (low fps or stutter) | Change power plans to High Performance in Windows Control Panel to make CPU clock speed stable. |
