I usualy have my system's locale set to Japanese, for the sake of playing foreign games. When I first got this error upon launching iRO's Renewal client, I thought it was an issue regarding that setting and so I used MS Applocale to run the client. It works fine.

Today, as an experiement, I set my system back to my native language(Portuguese(Brasil)) which should work fine for iRO. The first time I ran the client it worked fine, I closed it and tried again. Since then I haven't been able to start the game again because I get the error message after patching.

What do?

My system is a windows8. Yes, I did try to run as admin.

Open task manager, force close rag.exe. re-open client with task manager opened and retry. that works for me

Tried it, didn't work.

right click RO > Settings > Compatability mode to windows 95/98/7.

and patch both clients. Classic and renewal.

That will not fix the client info error. Do this:

Problem happens because the patch client doesn't properly release the lock on data.grf in time for the client to be able to access it.

Open RO folder, rightclick ragexe.exe, and choose "create a shortcut". Name it something descriptive, like "RO - Bypass patch". Rightclick it, properties, and under the shortcut tab, find the "Target" field, and add a space, followed by -1rag1 to the end of what's there now, ex:
Change
"C:\Other\Ragnarok Online Renewal\Ragexe.exe"
to
"C:\Other\Ragnarok Online Renewal\Ragexe.exe" -1rag1

Click OK.

Now, use the normal shortcut to patch, and but then cancel out of it, and use the bypass patch shortcut made as described above to actually start the game.

I wonder if the reason it works for some is due to windows cacheing and how fast the drive is. If the RO executable has to be loaded from disk, the lock is released in time, but if it's cached so it starts instantly, the lock on data.grf hasn't been released. This would explain why it doesn't happen on all systems, and why it often works the first time after rebooting, but not after (that's how it works for me - works after reboot, once, then I have to bypass patcher). Don't know that this is what's happening, but that's the most plausible explanation I can come up with.
