Cannot init d3d OR grf file has problem

[Cone3474]

Hello there,

To make this short for everybody:

• I used the guide here: https://arstechnica.com/civis/threads/creating-an-open-source-ragnarok-online-server-with-kro-openkore-support.1483047/
• I got 3 errors after launch: PetInfo, SkillInfo and another I forget, nul errors in the lub files.
• I made sure I had the right files from ROEnglishRE.
• After that didn't work, I switched to this guide: https://rathena.org/board/topic/111830-tutorial-video-edition-how-to-setup-rathena-and-run-ragnarok-updated-2018-7-28/
• No error on launch except "Cannot init d3d OR grf file has problem"

I've been at this for about a week now, many, many hours spent googling, ideally I'll eventually get a grasp of how the client modification works the making of client, but I'd like to get at least a basic working version of the client before I can start experimentation further!

 

Thanks in advance!

Update: So I can get the game running if I put it on Direct 7 but it looks fugly, is there a reason why DX9 isn't working?

run setup.exe or maybe opensetup.exe and set your graphic driver. that error because you didnt set it up or maybe you doesnt have graphic driver.

What clientdate did you use ? Client late 2023 and above only support DX9.

I'll be honest, I used what was provided in the guide so I downloaded full client 20230404, then I patched it, then I used Nemo's 2022-04-6 ragexe.

By client age, do you mean the Nemo ragexe or the base client I downloaded?

 

Thanks again

that nemo 2022 doesnt support dX9, so you should use dx7 instead.

Thanks! The latest nemo I can find is 2022, is there a way to patch the most recent client? I know I can't just straight up grab the ragexe from the latest one (I tried), but I also know the nemo ragexe are just downloaded straight from gnjoy, is there a modification step between the gnjoy download and the one output by the nemo getter?

I'd love to do it myself and even document the process, but I can't seem to find any documentation on how to create a patchable client in the first place. The other alternative I see is changing the patch signatures to match the new client.

The answer is, you need to get a newer client. For now its not available for free since the later client have protection, etc.

Alright, thanks you, I`ll pause that for now.

My last question, if I may, I've used a prebuilt client and that all works fine, the one from the second guide.
I tried another setup, using the clean client provided on these forums (kRO_FullClient_20230404)

Now, I am able to launch it if I patch 2022-04-06_Ragexe_1648707856, the problem I have is from the translation patch (Chris), I think. When I launch the game I get these:

The game launches, but some weird issues here and there. Any idea how to fix that? If I could fix that version of the client, I would be really happy.

make sure u read the wiki for Chris translation or use the tools correctly. make sure you choose the correct client date using Chris Translation tools generator.
