[Solved]Patcher Problem

[Sevenfold.]

Ok, this isn't for me this is for a friend of mine who is trying to start playing on this sever.

Every time she opens up the patcher it just locks up and freezes and doesn't do anything or say anything its just a blank box

I know internet explorer doesn't work on her computer (i don't know why i haven't looked into it) and that the patcher loads up an IE window with a "vote now" thing, haven't really payed to much attention to it but I'm wondering if its that that is causing it and if so, how would she stop the patcher trying to load up IE

[Ryuk]

That could very easily cause the freezing yes. Try pressing ctrl+alt+delete. Then run the patcher. At the task manager click on the Processes tab. In the list find iexplorer.exe and click on it, then click on end process. And see if the patcher runs normally. If not you can manually patch by downloading the files that I upload after each patch, then just run the game through the game client instead of the patcher.

iexplorer.exe isnt there, told her to do that and now she's getting a DLL error, got her to download the DLL's but is still getting it here's a screenshot of her RO folder

When exactly does she get the DLL error ? And did she use our full installer ?

As soon as she tries to start up the game exe and not the patcher she gets

"this application has failed to start because binkw32.dll was not found

Here's a screen shot of the error (had to make the error occur on my comp)

Yea she did

Hey, I dont know if im allowed to help in this Support section but, you can fix this error by downloading the DLL's from Ratemyserver.

You can get them here:

Hope it works.

Hey, i think you can.

I already found the files on another site but as you can see in my 2nd post where I posted this

her RO folder already has the DLL's what has confused me like hell to be quite honest

[Ryuk]

Of course Edu, everyone is allowed to help others. :)

To make sure it's not server-file related we'll do a simple re-install. Delete your RO folder, and run the full installer again. After that follow the next step :

FRO Halloween patch

Steps to follow :

1 : Click on the above link.

2 : Download the file.

3 : Unpack it into your RO folder. Overwrite all if it asks you to.

4 : Run the client and try logging in.

Also creating a mirror since megaupload has been quite buggy lately.

Mediafire Mirror

Let me know if this works for you or not.

PS. The dll files should already be installed with our full installer.

Thanks, I will get her to try it tomorrow after school and see if she has any luck from there

[Ryuk]

Also when running the client/patcher make sure you're not blocking it in any way( Firewalls/ user restrictions etc ).

[Sevenfold.]

She's done all that and still getting the same error

as you can see, the dll's are in there but the game is still giving the error saying that there missing

Drag it to your RO folder, should fix it.

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?binkw32

Drag it to your RO folder, should fix it.

As shown in the screen shot she already has binkw32.dll but is still getting the error, and she also has downloaded a zip file containing all of RO's dll's before but still gets the error.

I will get her to try and download that dll but i don't think it will do anything to be quite honest

[Ryuk]

Please let us know whether this worked for you or not.

[Sevenfold.]

She's somehow managed to sort this problem or more like its sorted it self out, she tried again after she got back from school and it worked perfectly fine.

I have no idea why because nothing has changed

Never mind, it was working, it just killed it self again

Sorry to double post and bump but has been no reply to my last post

She did get it working somehow she come back from school and it started up fine. She didn't change anything or do anything it instantly worked fine.

She accentually closed the game, it give her an error so she used the other patcher and worked fine

The next day she tried again and was back to giving error's no matter what patcher she tried or using the games exe

Still not working and she's been trying all weekend with errors off the main game exe and the patcher's just not loading at all

[Ryuk]

Hearing this I still think it has to do with user permissions. Either way has she tried replacing the file again (with the link Genesis gave you) and see if it still wouldn't work ?

If it still doesn't work after replacing it again, try the following solutions in the following order :

1: Re-install completely (Including re-downloading the full installer, your full install might be corrupt)

2: Copy the binkw32.dll file to your Windows/System folder.

Sorry for the late reply been away from the computer

she's still getting the error

[Ryuk]

Run a malware scan on the computer. It's most likely malware corrupting the .dll files.

[-R e i]

I haven't read all the posts yet :

-try installing it on another partition and then try again (If malware scan doesn't help)

-run the client.

-try checking the address of the patcher and the client...

Sorry if I can't help much. bad english :(

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.

Any progress?

Gonna close this due to the overwhelming amount of time that has past since a post was made by the original owner and anyone else.
