Delete fpatch.ini, after that right-click on the Forsaken-Patcher & select "Run as Administrator". Be sure to have your internet explorer windows closed, because I think something in there is claiming the process while the patcher throws up a pop-up. Are you able to run the game without the patcher? Fkenro.exe is the game client, try to run that file.

Delete fpatch.inf and repatch with the Forsaken-Patcher. Post back the results after please.

Try downloading the RAD Tools: http://www.radgametools.com/down/Bink/RADTools.exe The DLL that causes the error originally is used in the RO intro clip and wants to be loaded even when there is none. This tool should install the DLL in your system directory. If that's the case, go to C:/Windows/System and search for the DLL, then copy the binkw32.dll file to your Ragnarok directory. Reboot and try to run the game.

Error's such as these are traced back to missing files or sprite errors most of the time. Delete fpatch.inf and repatch Forsaken RO & your Sakray.

How are people coming along? Prestiged yes/no? Favorite weapon, game mode etc.

Somehow a familiar name.. But being in senior year doesn't make you grown up or mature yet, so we'll have to figure that one out ourselves. Good luck with your come back though.

Added you Cole.

Claymore = Jump. Works fine for me, just relies on your reaction speed. Only works if you run to the claymore and not away from it (your back to it). The game is balanced, how do you know, a lot of different guns & perks are used. Bugs are still there and the patches increased the lag (for me that is), waiting for my new components to arrive to match the specs that the game requires a little bit more.

I suppose you play under "Drax" then? Because just add me is somewhat random without knowing who or what to add.

No, I'm playing on a desktop (PC). Not much of a console fan.

After level 20 things go smoother, if you prestige, the fun starts all over. Don't play TDM, it's where the horror is at, if you don't like camping, don't play the game. Camping isn't weak or noob, you can counter it ( campers stay at/near one spot, use stun nades & semtex/frag/crossbow/grenade launcher and campers die miraculously ). Don't hate the player, hate the game instead, it's a design flaw that such a thing is possible and the lack of outside the box thinking by you 'haters'. I've prestiged in no-time, found a smooth way to play (S&D is my main game. It provides fast leveling/codpoints, if you die you can learn from others and it's always different). Try out different guns, perks and whatever, this ain't MW2 or BF:BC2, this is black ops, each and every thing is different, yet improved in a lot of aspects. Oh and AK74U might be slightly overpowered, but I use it and rape people with it non-stop, so I don't care.

I'll add my congratulations here too. Happy birthday Maria, best wishes & let everyone know that today is your day! xx

Raws become available every Thursday/Friday depending where you live. Mangareader.net is pretty quick with the stuff these days. Some googling will result in a very select amount of websites that provide the raws pretty early and sharp.

Excuse my delay in tracking this topic and it's responses. If you, after all this debating and advise, still want to have a laptop both for performance (gaming, possibly photo & video editing) and school work, I'd say go for the Toshiba. 15.3 Inch isn't a lot, even if it's super cool LED technology, more screen is always needed, especially when you're gaming, it's easier on the eyes (health), you have a bigger Field of View in most games (beneficial) and is a lot cooler to do presentations on or watch some cool movies with. Overall specs are competing with the Alienware, has some different pros & cons, but still one of the better choices. P.S. Dell & Alienware are the same company, just a branch of Dell that is 'specialized' in gaming. Edit: Try to get a nice SSD for your operating system, you'll love it and kick up the RAM up to 8Gb, 64-bit goes so much more smooth from that point on. Hope that helps you out.

Laptops can't match an equally pricey desktop + HD widescreen monitor (LED or LCD) when it comes to performance, they can't either match netbooks in portability, weight, battery life and all the comforts you see in using it for mobile purposes. Having 2 different computers can be a bit 'troublesome', but you'll keep gaming and fun on one computer and school and other serious stuff on a portable and lightweight external HDD that matches your netbook. Staying organized like that will only benefit the things you do and might even save your wallet some burden, as desktops are easier (and cheaper) to upgrade, which means you won't have to buy a new one as early (saving money on the long term too). Anyway, that's my input and vision on this concept. Hopefully you'll take this into consideration, I've been a former IT student and that combination was a lot used among the others.
