I've just spent over two hours trying to download and install the newest RO patches. Each time, it takes around twenty minutes to download and unpack the first set of files. Then it tries to get the second set of files - and fails. No option to retry, only cancel or exit. If you exit and try again, it starts downloading the first set of files all over from the beginning.

This sucks. I can't even log into the game. I haven't played in several days, and I was itching to check out the new Comodo upgrade they've implemented, and now I can't access any of it at all.

To top it all off, I just realised I've missed Witchblade. I was all set to tape it, kept reminding myself all day, and then in my distraction I forgot. It's the first bloody episode of the series, and I missed it.

Did I say how much this sucks?

Make sure you have *plenty* (800Mb+) of free hard disc space on your RO partition before attempting the patch. RO needs to temporarily uncompress the data.grf file in order to patch it, and 800Mb is about how much space the temporary files take up.

I spent a *long* time trying to figure that problem out - for a game that's supposed to be fully localised an error message of "800@*@&#*&^!(*^(*^$@!^*garbagegarbagegarbage" is hardly expository ><

What Pelrun said. Mucho grandez space requirements. Might I also add that instead of using that silly download prog they have loaded up in the beginning, that you take note of the names of the files it downloads and go to

ftp://efpatch.ragnarok.co.kr/
anonymous login
go to patch directory and download the files you need, with the handy resume features of your ftp browser. As long as you put them in your main Ragnarok directory with all the other stuff, RO will check if you have the files and bypass the downloading if they're already there. Really handy on a dial-up.

Oh last night's episode of Witchblade wasn't actually the first because I caught the last half of it last week. And it was er... good ^^;

Actually make sure you have 1 GB to be safe. =\ I have had the problem too.

I can send you the episode if you like (speaking of which, did that OAT tape ever arrive?)

Seems the iRO patcher is still as flaky as ever.

Oh well.

I've just rejoined the addicted - I'll probably be online tonight and maybe friday night after the screening...
