Return of Reckoning

Mostly in title.

I downloaded via Torrent, launched the game and couldn't see my character at all. So I closed the game, and opened the RoRupdater. Now it has been download for hours and hours and is nowhere near done. Is this normal because im new and I have to catch up on patches?

Yes, its normal for a lot of unfortunate people, but its still a glitch and won't work. Stop the 175K download and try something else. I never have gotten the silly installation to work.

so download finished, I logged in at 1 am. come home from work, start the launcher. and its downloading again. wtf!

Sounds like you didnt install the torrent version you downloaded or are not launching that version (from that directory). The 175k file is the game trying to download the whole thing from launcher, which is the worse thing to do.

just redownloaded torrent, opened launcher, it opened the RORupdater, and I get this error.

update: torrent was blocking launcher. Now it is downloading xxx/746 files

update: finished the 746 files, still cant see my character at login or ingame

I am having the same problem with not being able to see character models

Install the DX9 from the downloaded folder, this helped me with this problem.

Yeah i also tried it with the DX9 download from the folder. It worked just fine
