Dual Login Failure

[jsilverio]

Hi guys and gals,

I need some help regarding the use of Dual Login of our beloved FRO. My friend is able to do dual login, but in my case its not working. i can run the game no problem but when i open a new client... the original client freezes. i wish you guys can give me suggestions on how to deal with it. so far here's what i have done.

*Disabled UAC

*Used Compatibility on WinXp SP2/SP3

*Updated Video Card Driver

*Updated Direct X

*Reformatted my computer

Hereis my system

MSI CR420

Intel i3 2.13Ghz

4Gb RAM

Intel HD Graphics

Do you have mouse freedom on by any chance? Also, are you using full screen or windowed?

[jsilverio]

I have no idea what mouse freedom is. and i am using windowed by preference but this also happens when i do full screen

[qperteplex]

Are you running the normal client then the patcher? This would cause the client to freeze because of the patcher running as admin.

If that is the case you should run the patcher first then once admin priviledges are given run the normal client after. Should work if that is your issue.

Worked for someone I know who owes me toks :D

[jsilverio]

Thanks for the response, what you said is something i haven't tried before so i did try and still not working. the first client still freezes after opening a new client

[qperteplex]

What client are you talking about? Did you use 2 patcher client? Are you aware there is a patcher client and a normal client?

[jsilverio]

ok here's the deal.

1st, im not new to online gaming so definitely know that there are a few execuatable files for the game to work.

2nd, there is no such thing as patcher client and normal client. the file called ForsakenRO Patcher.exe is an individual itself to update the game directory. On the patcher when you click on start to launch the game it will only run the file Fkenro.exe so therefore there is no difference w/c i open to run the game but nonetheless I ran the game both ways and it still freezes my game w/c ever comes first becomes frozen.

3rd, i have been through different game servers and this is the first time i ever encountered this scenario. I played AstralRO, ChezRO, FeelRO, VanRo and a bunch of other RO servers and i can use up to 10 accounts on the same machine no problem.

4th i don't intend to shove up everything but its very frustrating that newbies like us on the server who have no means of getting toks unless we overly farm yggs from soldiers at for_fild02 or become slaves of rich people to farm for them and for people like me who are willing to farm for yggs to sell couldnt refill my vendor coz i cant dual login, so i had to wait for my friend to come over and bring his laptop for me to do this?

5th this is not the only issue i encountered on this server but i have resolved that on my own but just so admins will know, i had to downgrade my friend's computer from windows 8 to windows 7 to make this RO working on his system because on windows 8 we only get like about half an inch long bar with only the minimize button and the close button and nothing else. so this is really frustrating, that is aside from the issue that we wanted to donate for some cards because since we are new, we can't compete boss farming from people farming bosses so our only option is to donate but apparently the charge is way too high but we have no choice so up until now we cant get any so our only chance is to farm for yggs and hopefully get ourserlves some zen and sell it for toks. like a $17.50 donate since we only need a few cards our charge for sending it is $14.50 would that be fair @_@

6th and to make maters more difficult, there is no GM we can talk to regarding this matter, i have been shouting requesting for a gm to pm me and stuff but no can do and now its been 2days since a gm posted on this post with a very short post and ohhlah nothing more who would not be frustrated. i'm sorry but im just very frustrated about this

Hi,

This is a very rare issue and everyone else is having 0 issues dual clienting. I have experienced this myself a while back on as well. Here are the steps I took:

1. Disable UAC settings

2. Right click on "Fkenro.exe" (this is the actual client) and select properties -> Compatibility -> run this program as an administrator

See if that works for you. Otherwise, you could try using mouse freedom (which allows you to exit the RO window without alt tabbing). To do this, just look inside the "Addon" folder in your fRO directory and move dinput.dll outside of this folder, into the root RO directory.

For future reference, the best way to get help is right here through the forums. All Administrators have, in their profiles, their skype contact information. You are free to add any of us for help. Thanks,

Jorge

Note: You can run RO in Windows 8, just Properties -> Compatibility -> Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" -> Windows XP

uhmm... i think i already took those steps? based on my original post? the only thing that is new to me is the file inside the addon folder w/c i did try putting on the root directory of the game but still it freezes the client. my character is still online i can see it from another account, sounds are working so i know that its not a disconnected client. only the screen is frozen no movement at all.

maybe you are not understanding me well so let me rephrase what happen.

step 1: launch game client via fkenro/forsakenro patcher

step 2: login first account =>> success

step 3: launch game client via fkenro/forsakenro patcher

step 4: login 2nd account =>> sucess

step 5: switchto first client = fail. frozen video on game client only sound is available

step 6: go back to 2nd client =>> success fully functional

step 7: switch to first game client = frozen wait for 10 mins still frozen

step 8: go back to 2nd client = still working

side note: this happens on 4 systems within our circle of gamers. all in all we have 5 machines. 4 laptops, 1 desktop. and only 1 laptop is able to dual login at all the only difference is the system with working dual client is running on a 64bit OS and the rest on 32bit w/c i will not change to since its gonna eat up my resources since i only have 2gb ram

Hi,

I think the best solution is actually going to be to have you add me to skype and see if I can resolve this issue for you. Please add me to jorgeluisf350 and I'll try my best to get this resolved for you. Thanks!

5th this is not the only issue i encountered on this server but i have resolved that on my own but just so admins will know, i had to downgrade my friend's computer from windows 8 to windows 7 to make this RO working on his system because on windows 8 we only get like about half an inch long bar with only the minimize button and the close button and nothing else. so this is really frustrating, that is aside from the issue that we wanted to donate for some cards because since we are new, we can't compete boss farming from people farming bosses so our only option is to donate but apparently the charge is way too high but we have no choice so up until now we cant get any so our only chance is to farm for yggs and hopefully get ourserlves some zen and sell it for toks. like a $17.50 donate since we only need a few cards our charge for sending it is $14.50 would that be fair @_@

Hi there, I just wanted to respond to this in particular. That's a common issue some players will have, and the solution for this is mentioned in the troubleshooting guide here: https://forsaken-ro.net/download/troubleshooting-guide/ under the section "Help, When I start the game it closes immediately with no error message!" There's also various topics about this in the help desk that explain the solution there. We strongly encourage players who are having technical issues to check either the troubleshooting guide or looking through help desk topics that have already been resolved. :)

As for your trouble with the donation, what method have you been trying? I haven't heard of anyone having to pay additional charges like that. We deliberately made MVP cards quite cheap in an effort to allow anyone to donate for them.

For the double clienting issue, have you installed ForsakenRO into its own folder or is it with other RO servers?

[jsilverio]

@[GM]Genesis, i'll have to install skype on my system first since im not a frequent user of skype and to be honest i have totally forgotten my account in skype since i only used it once. i'll add you up once i have installed it.

@[GM]Veracity. i have checked all of the forums regarding the issue have and i even checked the net for some other way before starting my thread here. and if may i ask what does havind other RO games have to do anything with it since on my friend's computer w/c he had installed more RO servers than i did he can run multiple clients. regarding the method is this through western union since its the only available method we have.

OK, based on your 2nd post you did run ForsakenRO Patcher twice. On my end if I run ForsakenRO Patcher, logged in or not, then ran another ForsakenRO Patcher it would freeze the first. I dont know why but I believe it has something to do with the ForsakenRO Patcher running as admin. You have alot of applications if you are using ForsakenRO All-In-One like me. I only use 2, ForsakenRO Patcher and Fkenro. I only run 1 ForsakenRO Patcher and it would be the first then Fkenro for my pub char. I can run multiple Fkenro if I wanted to. So I think you didnt do what I instructed

ForsakenRO Patcher / Fkenro(logged in or not) then Fkenro(only)

Also, I am aware as well of how ForsakenRO Patcher updates Fkenro but still those are 2 different things. ForsakenRO Patcher gets updated as we both now and Fkenro relies on being updated after ForsakenRO Patcher is ran. So you can use Fkenro even without using ForsakenRO Patcher. I use an AMD athlon II X2 2.8ghz with 2GB ram and no f'ing video card and I play fine disregarding the lag at times and Im all the way in asia.
