if using the torrent was always a better (if not the only viable) option, why "download full game" is the first button given to the user and is the one with the golden font (implying it's the go to option)?
i've been running the installer for 10 minutes thinking it was getting some big file before noticing that it's not stuck on one message but instead it's posting the same message over and over again. now i don't know if it actually downloaded anything or created some residual files of any kind that are stored somewhere on my pc (something that is most definitely is going to bug me)
why have the "download full game" button at all if it's not working? why have the "confirm email" text and screenshot if the system is automated as the page states immediately after that? or is it? because right after the registration the site did ask me to verify my email and i did get the message with the link in my mail.

i never played ROR, it's my first time on this site, i haven't even downloaded the game yet and it's already extremely confusing and janky. as a result i'm having second thoughts about if i even want to get into all this. maybe it's just me and noone else is having trouble but imo you're pushing away new blood like this.
I ask myself these questions as well. It's just not that high up on the priority list it seems. Modifying the website isn't simple HTML, there's quite a lot of backend jank to it. There's been a slow burn redesign in the works for quite a while, but when we ever get to it is the real mystery.

In the meantime, the current instructions are the first challenge. How to read and follow instructions, how to troubleshoot. Does it drive away players looking for a one button install? It sure does... It sure does...

Hey,

the RoR Launcher.exe is still in your RoR folder with all the other files?

Hey everyone,

i am currently struggling with the installation of the game.

I followed the installation guide, replaced launcher & WAR files, disabled Read-Only. I open the game, no models, close it, restart the launcher as admin, no additional download is happeing. Restarting the game, still no models. Repairing the launcher also doesn't help. Redoing everyting from scratch in case i missed something also doesn't help.
I played the game couple years ago on the same machine, no issues back then.

Any advice or help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Don't know if that was it but i put the game on a different drive and it worked there.

Hey,

you can join the RoR discord anytime (link in my signature) and poke in #technical-advice, so we can check your install together.

This sure is a helpful guide. I'm happy you made it Lilim. It means a lot to me that someone was able to put into such neat and clean instructions despite how janky our install can be for some people. I'm sure it will help out a lot in the future and no one will even complain about it.
