Client doesn't open

[Gouki]

Hi all,

I'm currently trying the recommended client of rathena, I have also diffed it already.

The issue: When you open the client, and after the run as admin prompt, nothing happens. no error messages. It just doesn't go through to open the exe.

What could be the issue?

It depends. I have the same problem here, but when I move the grf to my game folder and indicate it in the .INI it runs, unlike some hexeds that run with the grf in any directory. Maybe thats your problem.

At first I thought it was a problem with Windows, missing some files, and maybe it is, but the solution was very simple, it only took me a while to realize.

A little progress..

I removed some ignore error diff on the client and got a prompt of Incorrect Servertype, so  I changed Servertype Primary to Sakray and the client is now going through.

Now the problem is that, the client is not connecting to the Server, I tried creating an account using _m (yes it is activated server side), but it instantly pops up to Failed to Connect to Server. Rechecked, if the ports are opened on the VPS and it is the 3 ports are opened.. Now I'm not sure what I'm missing of if it's a misconfiguration. The server is starting fine without errors.

Here's my clientinfo.xml
 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="euc-kr" ?>
<clientinfo>
	<desc>Ragnarok Client Information</desc>
	<servicetype>korea</servicetype>
	<servertype>sakray</servertype>
	<connection>
		<display>Local</display>
      		<address>VPS IP</address>
      		<port>6900</port>
      		<version>55</version>
      		<langtype>1</langtype>
		<registrationweb>www.ragnarok.com</registrationweb>

		</loading>
   	</connection>
</clientinfo>

Here's my opened ports..

 

Here's the client now..

Hello,

I would suggest you change the servicetype to 'america' and servertype to 'primary', see if that works.

Are you using RAGEXE or RAGEXERE?

Update...

Played a with the diff settings and placed load custom clientinfo.xml to enabled and direct it to clientinfo.xml, together with other bunch of options, and now its working fine, even the font on the login screen fixed itself.

I tried placing it back servicetype to 'america' as this is normally what I use, but placing servertype to 'primary' doesn't really let me launch the client.
I'm using RAGEXE I believe -> http://nemo.herc.ws/clients/2021-11-03_Ragexe_1635926200/

should I use RAGEXE or RAGEXERE? I'll be using this for a pre-renewal settings, just want to try and infuse new RO features to pre-renewal style server.

If using RAGEXE remember to diff it disabling cheat defender, just in case.

 

This webpage should help you choosing langtype and servicetype: https://github.com/rathena/rathena/wiki/Clientinfo.xml

 

Did you define the packetver, right?

I'll check this option, thank you for the langtype and servicetype link..

I didn't set it as this is already the default client set in rathena packetver.
