Runes of Magic US / AU

Wonder why your game is stuck updating? How long is it going to take to patch the game? Wonder why you get errors before even logging in? Here are some of those answers.

Q. Wonder why your game is stuck updating?
Runewaker/Frogster do not update the full client download with each and every patch. Therefore, after you download the 5GB+ of the game client and run the installer, once that completes, it has more to download and install to be able to play. Right now, about 560MB of patches are needed from a clean install. Just check the lower right corner of the launcher for progression on the current version you have installed. It is normal for it to get stuck around 79% on the update bar, then restart itself and start to load the next patch. so long as the version number keeps progressing, its all normal, leave it alone.

Q. How long is it going to take to patch the game?
How long it takes will depend on many things, one being your internet connection speed. General rule of thumb, if this is a fresh clean install, expect at least several hours to download and fully patch and that's even with a 10Mb connection.

Q. Wonder why you get errors before even logging in?
There could be several reasons as to why you get errors at the time the launcher executes. A bad patch, problems writing files to your hard drive, permissions settings of your PC and even the hardware you are using on your system not meeting the Minimum Requirements, among others. If the following manual patches do not resolve your issue, please post your issue in the Technical Issues forum.

Q. Why do I keep getting an extract to popup?
Currently there is a bug in the installation. The devs are working on it, until they fix it, you need to simply keep selecting the installation folder for the game, this may happen many many times, just keep selecting it:
By default 32bit OS: c:\program files\runes of magic
By default 64bit OS: c:\program files (x86)\runes of magic

Note: Potential workaround for the 'extract to' popup

Please heed all warnings below!!

************************************************
* USE THESE PATCHES ONLY IF AUTOMATIC UPDATES FAIL *
************************************************

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!! FROGSTER/RUNEWAKER NO LONGER ADVISE MANUAL PATCHES. THIS IS TO PREVENT CLIENTS FROM MIXING THINGS UP AND FILES GETTING CORRUPTED.

USE THESE PATCHES ONLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE ERRORS. THE FULL CLIENT IS AVAILABLE FROM THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE. PLEASE DOWNLOAD IT AND LET THE AUTOPATCHER RUN.

Install from BOTTOM to TOP, starting with your current version. Check on the launcher's lower right hand corner for current version. If your launcher does not start up, you may also check in your Runes of Magic Folder for the version.txt file found in the Download subdirectory. In that file you may check the [CurrentVersion] section.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MANUAL PATCHES:
take the download patch from below and put it in your installation folder.

By default 32bit OS

c:\program files\runes of magic

By default 64bit OS

c:\program files (x86)\runes of magic

then execute the patch from the installation folder and let it run its course.


*provides single file installation.

i would look to see what version the client loader says it is. I'm gonna bet 2.1.5.2000. IF so, you need to apply the latest patch. It is linked above.

no less than 24 hours straight up to probably close to 36 hours. 80kB is about 640Kb. Enter 7500 (MB, not KB) and see for yourself.

Current Full Client Download (5GB+) version 2.1.0.1871

Total: 6312.4 MB = 6.35 GB = 6.312.400 KB

6.312.400 KB / 80KB*s = 78905/s

78905 s /60 s = 1315.1 min

1315.1 min / 60 min = 21.92 H

TOTAL: Downloading client + patching = 22 Hours aprox

problem with your math is 2 fold, it does not take into account the actual time of installation of each patch and further, it presumes you will have full saturation of your 80KB/s connection for '22 Hours aprox' when you are downloading. Hence my math putting it at over 24 hours.

just fyi

I hope 3 weeks without a patch gives them an opportunity to update the main download, but until then, I can only provide the info I know.
