Hi everyone.

After trying to play RO2 (and getting exhausted after like 1 day), I decided to check out the old RO1 (after about 6 years of inactivity), and am having some issues starting it up.

Installation worked fine, as did patching, and as soon as I clicked start, the setup window pops up. I tweaked the settings to my personal desires (noctrl and noshift brought back some fond memories) and pressed OK.
The system asked me if I wanna save these settings, so I pressed OK again. In response, the window closed, but then a new, identical window, opened up. I redid everything, pressed OK (and OK again), only to get the same result.

I originally thought it had something to do with me patching up all those lost files (so had to repeat several times), but after like 10 mins of repetition, I realized the computer may have more patience running an infinite loop than I do.


I've searched the forums, but didn't find anyone having this problem, so I made this thread.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Is there a way around this?

I'm running the game on Windows 7, and I can post my laptop's specs if you want (but I doubt it has anything to do with them).

Thanks for any help, and hopefully I'll see you guys in-game (any time now...)

Eitan

Run the game as admin, and setup will only show up once.

When game is not run as admin, setup isn't able to save the settings correctly due to UAC on windows vista and later, and the developers don't seem to understand that the patcher needs to force itself to run as admin, just like the client does now.
