Q: Can I play on OS X or Linux?

Ragnarok Online is designed to run on the Windows Operating System and RO is not supported on other OS platforms at this time. Some users have been able to configure Ragnarok Online for use within a Windows emulator on a Mac or Linux-based system, using a program such as Wine, WineSkin, Lutris, WineBottler, PlayOnMac/PlayOnLinux, etc.


Q: Why not use Guepar anticheat?

Because it's deemed unnecessary and serves only to reassure those less informed on the subject. Additionally, it adds a lot of complications when modifying the client (you have to contact the creator of Guepar for every modification). I'll add that it installs a Trojan horse on your PC for monitoring and does not prevent cheating if someone really wants to. Lastly, it increases the game's loading time. As you can tell, we're not advocates for it. However, we have numerous tools (non-invasive to your PC) that allow us to control potential cheaters on Dayone/rotg."

Q: I have a screen larger than 1080p, and I would like to fully enjoy the gaming experience

There are two possibilities that I know of to solve the issue: DGVOODOO and AnacondaQQ.

Q: I see characters that move by themselves without responding. What are they, and what should I do?

There is a possibility that this is a bot; a program used by players to automate leveling or other activities. Note that sometimes these people are simply busy or are not in a state to talk. If you suspect a bot, send a support ticket to the GMs

Q: Where is the server located, and are proxies available?

The server is located in France. There are currently no proxies available

Q: What does the "cannot init D3D or GRF file has a problem!" error mean?

It is an error dealing with graphics. Run the RO setup program, and verify that a graphics mode has been selected in the first option box. If there are no options available, compatible graphics drivers are not installed. Please verify that hardware requirements are fulfilled and drivers are up-to-date.

Q: When I patch, it downloads, but at the end it says "Failed to write file".

To launch the patcher, run it in 'administrator mode

Q: Can I get a Stat or Skill Reset?

Yes. See stats/skill reset for more information.

Q: Can I change my character's name without remaking it?

Not at the moment.

Q: Can I change my character's gender?

Gender is determined when you make a new character. It is possible to have male and female characters on the same account.

Q: How to use custom GRF files like grayworld ?

you just need to run the "rotggrf.exe" in your game folder.

If you wish to modify your GRF with your own preferences or with a friend's GRF, I invite you to follow a guide

Q: Is multi-leveling enabled?

No. You will only get three level at a time.

Q: I've patched, but I'm still encountering in-game errors, or not benefiting from the new updates mentioned in the Discord update channel.

You can delete the "ROTG_Patcher.dat" file in your game folder and patch again.


Q: I can't raise my skill points for some reason.

  • Minimize your skill window by pressing the '-' button at the upper right portion of the screen (See the next question for information on this)
