I figured i'd post this because im not sure how many people are aware of it. If it is common knowledge I apologize, but this simple info helped me out a great deal

 

When I first started playing there was a huge amount of framerate issues and lag, so much so that it became unplayable. I noticed that it started out ok after logging in, but after about 25 min or so the framerate became extremely laggy. Slow mouse movement, slow player movement etc, basically unplayable. I toyed around with common fixes such as running in compatibility mode, windowed mode etc, but nothing worked

 

Finally I came upon the solution: Simply running the game outside of steam. If you go into the steam folder, locate Ragnarok.exe and just run that.

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ragnarok\Ragnarok.exe

 

This fixed everything and was a huge relief. Im able to even run the game in full screen with minimal problems, and running compatibility mode doesn't seem at all necessary.  Like i said im not sure if this is common knowledge but i figured id post it anyway since it helped me so much

 

I'm not sure if this would be effective in other versions of windows however, im running Win 10

People usually just play on the WP client instead of the Steam client because it's just not worth the hassle to use the Steam client to pay for stuff.

That and the steam client limits to one account and one account ONLY.
