Remove Gameforge Live Without Reinstalling RoM

1. Delete your current RoM/Gameforge Live "Desktop" icon(s).
2. Navigate through your programs files and open the Gameforge Live folder.
3. Locate the folder for Runes of Magic but do not open it.
4. Right-Click on the Runes of Magic folder and select "Cut" or "Copy".
5. Go back to your program files list and "Paste" it there or press "Ctrl + V" (it may take a few minutes to move the folder).
6. Once the copying process is complete, open that Runes of Magic folder.
7. Right-Click on either "Client.exe" or "Runes of Magic.exe" (either one will be fine).
8. Choose "Send To" >> "Desktop (Create Shortcut)". (rename ONLY the "Desktop Shortcut" if you want).
9. Double-Click the new shortcut on your desktop and verify the Runes of Magic launcher opens.
10. Fully uninstall the Gameforge Live program (it is no longer needed if step 9 was successful).
11. Login and begin playing!

I might be missing the purpose behind uninstalling Gameforge, but if the purpose is to just bypass it, all you need to do is 1) remove any Gameforge shortcuts on your desktop (your step 1) and 2) create a new shortcut to the .exe mentioned in step 7 above.

Much simpler, faster, and accomplishes the same bypass?

Agreed, Modrune01. Me done triered the "other" websites fer downloads, an founded it ter be a mess. Instead, me done did what yer jus stated, went thru Gameforge Live fer the download, deleted the shortcut from me desktop, an founded the original .exe file, an created a shortcut ter me desktop. Fast, easy, worketh like a beautifully launched ship. Majik's guide may be accurate, but entirely unnecessary.

when you remove GFlive, it patches "normally". with GFlive, sometimes patches get screwed up. if you always patch manually, no issue however.

removing GFlive altogether removes the extra step that tends to create problems with running/patching the game.

I've never had problems patching the game using the non-Gameforge shortcut. The actual Gameforge executables still exist on my system too.

In general, doing this uninstall process is also going to be more riskier for those users who aren't as computer savvy.

I think the purpose is to remove any conflicting programs. If all you do is delete the shortcuts, you are not actually removing the program and it will still interfere. So, no it does not accomplish the same bypass because it will still be on your computer working in the background. I've just downloaded the game yesterday and I've been trying to get logged on to the actuall game since 7:30 this morning (it is now 10:00). Hopefully this fixes my issues and lets me in. :dash:

Nope. Still can't log in.... :dash:

I do have the client open, I get the Account or Password Error message. My account on the RoM site is in the US and I have the client (pretty sure it's the client) set to US as well.

Provide the background process name you are alluding to. I (and others) have been fine for years using this bypass shortcut method.

I do have the client open, I get the Account or Password Error message. My account on the RoM site is in the US and I have the client (pretty sure it's the client) set to US as well.

The only two reasons for an "Account or Password Error" are:

1. Indeed, an incorrect username or password has been entered.
2. Incorrect region setting on the Runes of Magic launcher. This is the launcher that has the yellow "Play!" button in the bottom left corner. Find the "Region/Language" button and select "US/English" to use an account in the US or old AU regions.
