The Saga of Ryzom

When I try to lauch Ryzom I get this error

Missing Required GL extension: GL_ARB_multitexture.

I have a GeForce8800 and my drivers are the most current. I read on the offical forums that you can make an adjustment in the optinos section with config HOWEVER - I get this error while launching the game and as a result can't even get to the options screen.

I also cannot register on teh official forums. I downloaded the client from ryzom's main page, it is version 637.

Thanks

Trueth, your best course of action will be to contact Customer Support. You can find various ways to reach them here.

They are generally quite prompt and helpful, even in this time of testing with free accounts.

Go here : C:\Program Files\Ryzom

then double click : ryzom_configuration_rd.exe that is located inside the ryzom folder

that should let you configure ryzom

Using:

 ryzom_configuration_rd.exe 

Gives me the same error. I guess I try the online chat help. I sent an e-mail a few days ago and havent gotten a reply yet.

Thanks

I thought this game was shut down a while ago?

Ryzom's new owners (Spiderweb) just recently put the servers back online.  There is no billing system as of yet, but it is working and operational.  Most feel that they may be testing the servers and getting the initial startup bugs worked out before they techinically go "live".

I strongly suggest you to use DirectX instead of OpenGL.

You can launch the configurator without launching the client: go to the Ryzom folder and you'll find the executable 'ryzom_configuration_rd.exe'. It will give you all the options to setup your graphics and sound without launching the game client.

Edit: sorry didn't read all the posts :P Okay let try this:

In the ryzom folder, edit with notepad the file: client.cfg (don't change client_default.cfg) and add this line (or change it if already present):

Driver3D             = "Direct3D";

 Then try to start the offline configurator ryzom_configuration_rd.exe.

Gilgameesh, that worked!!

..but now I'm getting error code 1.

I've read the tech tips regarding that, but am a little worried since all the posts are from like 2005. Any additional advice regarding error code1?

I already tried turning off firewall, but that didnt work.

Thanks

Error code 1 means the client can't connect to the auth server.

Another possibility, other than the firewall, is that simply the client still try to point at the old, outdated, server address.

Try to download the fixer here: forums.ryzom.com/showthread.php

Read and follow all the instructions in that post.

Hope to see you soon in Atys :)

NB: one of the suggestions there say to delete the file client.cfg, so, if you do that step, remember to add the line i told you in my previous post, after you have ran the fix.

So, to be more clear:

1. download the fixer;

2. delete the file client.cfg;

3. run the fixer;

4. edit the file client.cfg to add the line i posted in my previous post;

5. configure the game with ryzom_configuration_rd.exe;

6. run the client and login into ryzom.

In client.cfg check for:

StartupHost = "su1.ryzom.com:40916";
