Are you starting with the Ragnarok patcher? You need to use Ragnarok patcher to start RO now, not Valkyrie or Renewal. If you installed with the pre-VIP installer, you need to have patched up using Renewal shortcut, then patch up with Ragnarok, then use Ragnarok to play.

If you are installing with the VIP installer, not sure what to say.

I am using the VIP installer, I don't have problems when it comes to patching, but after I log in on ragnarok, it says please wait for 10 seconds then says failed to connect to server
is there anything u can suggest that could help me, because I've been trying to fix this for a while now

Do you get to the server select screen?

Was RO previously working on this system? If so, when did it stop working?

If not, have you made sure that Windows Firewall (and any other firewall software you may have installed) is not blocking it?

No I did not manage to get to the server select screen. Ro was previosly working on my system, it stopped working the day after a thunderstorm.
My firewall is not blocking Ragnarok, I have it checked as an exception.

Recheck that it's not blocked, because some firewalls will re-block programs when the client exe is updated (don't know when the last client exe update was, but worth double checking).

Other than that, i've got nothing. Anyone else?

Hmm in that case I don't know.

Are we 100% sure it is not a patcher problem? (ie: are you running all .exe's under 'run as admin mode'?)
If you know someone with a working copy of iRO, we used to be able to copy the entire game folder to anothe computer and it would work, not sure it this is still possible with all the new clients but it could be worth a try.

I only have one exe and that is ragnarok.exe It didn't come with valkyrie and ragnarok renewal
I don't know someone who has a working copy of iRO either, so would that just be the end for me then?

I don't know what to say - it's behaving as though RO has no access to the internet at all - something's blocking it, or otherwise interfering with it.

Can you ping iro.ragnarokonline.com - just as a reality check?

Deleted a whole bunch of responses by people who didn't know that the servers are currently undergoing weekly scheduled maintenance, and will be for another 3 hours or so.

Pyrleon - if you have been experiencing connection problems not-just-during-today's maint, please repost, or PM me and i'll restore your post. Just trying to keep this thread on topic.

Bxkid - it seems like another user is having the same problem. You should communicate with barakonda, who's described something that sounds identical to me: http://forums.warppo...ct-game-server/

It seems like we've done all the fixes that should work, so i'm at a loss. Maybe there's something similar about your two systems, that could give us a clue about wtf is going on here?

From what I see, me and barakonda have different windows versions,
I have vista home premium
Barakonda has XP
Barakonda hasn't played RO before
I have played RO before
Both of us have the new VIP instalation which has niether Renewal or Valkyrie
both of us have tried reinstalling RO and moving it to a different file to solve our problem (to no avail)
Our firewalls are not blocking RO
Neither one of us are using a VPN
It isn't a patching problem for either of us
Make of this info what you will, if you have any possible answers pleese post below, i'd appreciate it

btw, what does it mean if I am able to connect to the Sakray server but not the Ragnarok.exe servers?

You're on vista - do you have RO installed in a location outside of program files? Please uninstall and reinstall outside of program files if that's the case, and see if the problem persists (it can cause patching problems which produce no patch errors and look correct even when you manually verify the files - keeping two copies of the files and showing a different one depending on the priv's of the process accessing the files)

We also may have a third person with this problem posting here. We'll see how he responds.

And it clearly sounds like the issue is only effecting the main RO client.

I'm not really sure where to go from here, really.... If I was on your machine, I'd start Diff'ing every file against the same file on a working client, extract the whole contents of all GRFs, and diff them against same from a working system, etc - to determine if it's a computer problem or a client problem (if your client was identical to a working one, then we could say with certainty that something is wrong with your computer).

I don't suppose you can think of a way to get the entire contents of your RO folder to me?

I have RO downloaded in a location out of Program files, but it still doesnt work

DrAzzy, i can send you all of the contents of my RO file, but i need your e-mail address
The subject of my email will be "Bxkid failed to connect to RO server"

Send.... mmm... ragexe.exe and any GRF's. I pm you my email address.

I have a bad feeling that if it's a client problem, it'll be in the (gigantic, hence hard to move around) data.grf, unless there's a second grf that they stick the connection info into.

ive had similar problems....

the thing is... when i was in administrator mode i kept on trying... it took a while, then I CAN CONNECT

but right now im in guest mode... my moms away.. which she know the password for administrator... so right now i cant connect using guest mode...

do you have an admin acount on windows 7? or are you using guest?? you should try administrator mode... it will connect... for me at least.
