Runes of Magic US / AU

are you trying through the GF live client?

also, does the new laptop have the specifications to run the game? what you are describing happened to me when i tried to run RoM on one of my older machines just to see if it would run...

the settings will not save if the game crashes out...if this is the case, log in, reset settings, then as soon as they are all set up, exit the game using the "exit game" button, and that should save the settings...another option is to go into the folder containing the character settings (usually my documents --> runes of magic --> character name) and copy the folder for the character you are trying to play, or all of them, onto the new computer, and start from there...

Go to where the game is installed & find the "Runes of Magic.exe" file, making a new shortcut to it.

Right-click the shortcut and edit the properties so that it will always run with Administrator credentials.

Your settings should save now.

In the same folder where you found your client.exe file (C:\Program Files(x86)\Runes of Magic), look for a file named "client.exe.ini". Open it with Notepad. It should look like this:

[Version]
Major=6
Minor=0
BuildNum=2
AutoIncrement=1
Extend=2662
Country=en

What you need to change is the Country setting if yours is different from the one given in the example above.

It's possible that Windows has flagged this file on your computer as "read only". If that's the case, you can change it by right-clicking on the file then choose Properties at the bottom of the context menu that appears. Look at the bottom of the dialogue window that opens and make sure that the Read Only checkbox next to Attributes is not checked. If it is, uncheck it and click Apply.

Hope this helps.

My game is working fine, but the client opens up in spanish now for the last two days. Changing it to english fixes it but I have to do this every time I load the client. Has to be something to do with the last maintenance.

wake21:

If you downloaded the client using the GF downloader, there's a chance that the installation got messed up. Or so I think.

It might require a reinstall. If it does, go here: Manual Downloads for the 6.0.1 RoM Client

Use the links that Inferiority provided in that post/thread. Delete your existing installation files first, and make sure you get all of the associated files when you redownload.

Once again, hope this helps. I know it's a PITA...

Interesting....my client also loads in Spanish now. Started to right after the last maintenance, and no, I did not re-load or update the installation. That being said, I do not have an issue with saved settings for the game, just the client where it starts up. I just ignore it and click play. So, i think that is a separate issue than the save settings one.

I vaguely remember having region troubles with the launcher when I installed it from the Chapter 4 DVD. One of the ini files had a DE setting forced into it so my launcher always displayed in German regardless of the Region setting I chose. Or maybe it was one of the files in the install folder had a ".de" tagged on the end of the filename or something like that.

omg thought i was the only one. my pc version of rom runs fine. my laptop version of rom runs fine too except the Client.exe launcher pops up all Spanish just like yours even though it had been in English all this time up until now...the top of the launch window drops down a list of countries...my Spanish launcher is categorized as Mexico & no matter how many times I click on Estados Unidos de America, it will not change to the USA... meanwhile the launcher window has no problem flashing through the ads lol but somehow the dropdown countries listing is messed up, can't click on any of the other countries either. launchers were all working fine before until all the sudden recently. I checked the region thing in the bottom right & it is already correct with USA flag & en. And I checked the client.config.ini file & that's correct too.

No clue how to manually change the webpage that shows up inside the Launcher window... the Spanish/Mexico page that has all the sudden replaced our USA page & shows up inside our Launcher window is http://mx.runesofmagic.gameforge.com/game/index/world

Don't have an issue with saving settings EXCEPT for 1 specific one: the continuous problem that once you turn on search party function whatever, I can never turn it off, the game automatically switches it on when you log off, so when you log back on, you get goldsellerspamwhispers that get sent to you while ur offline, even though you logged out correctly last time with it turned off... game never remembers this, no matter which client I'm running... so all I can think of is it's a server issue... sometimes, even when you turn it off, about 15 mins later, it has miraculously turned back on while your afk or checking the auction house LOL completely redonkulous!

The Chapter IV DVD installation forced a DE client on me and the culprit was one of the files in the install folder having a .de extension in the filename.

Perhaps you can look in the install folder and see if you can find a similarly named file.
