Crash on charater selection

[ThorwaldR]

Hi,

my GF and I wanted to play RoR today after we hadn't played in about a year. My game (Win7 64-bit) works now after 2 crashes after the current update.

But my GF just can't enter the game. She runs RoR on Win10 64-bit. The game starts and when you come to the part where it displays your character and you can either play or change your character the game:
- does not display the character
- crashes to desktop quickly after

(edit: Win10 was recently updated to 20H2)

We tried:
- repairing the game
- changing from 64-bit to 32-bit didn't do anything
- Windows compatiility mode
- run as admin

Nothing works. Does anyone have any idea?

Hey,

firstly the install guide, just in case you missed something

How to Download:
+ Recommend Torrent Tixati: http://www.tixati.com/
+ First step, disable your Antivirus, Firewall, or Malware detection programs. These can potentially interfere with an install.
+ Download torrent file: https://www.returnofreckoning.com/files ... 20.torrent
+ Run the Torrent file, with the Torrent app, and wait until it's finishes.

How to Install:
+ Stop your Torrent from seeding (close it, maybe check your task manager)
+ Move the Warhammer Online - Return of Reckoning folder outside the ReturnofReckoning-March2020 folder and move it to c:\ ... for instance move it to c:\Games
(but NOT inside c:\ Program Files or c:\ Program Files (x86); it should be in a folder which it have write access)
+ Remove the write-protection from all the files in the Warhammer Online - Return of Reckoning folder.
(right click on the War Online - RoR folder > properties > disable the read-only box)
+ Check that your whole Warhammer Online - Return of Reckoning folder is whitelisted in your Antivirus program and check if your Firewall or Maleware doesn't interfere with the install.
+ You may also try running the launcher with Administrator privileges.
(Right click on the RoRLauncher.exe > properties > run administrator)
+ Run the RoRLauncher.exe
+ Let it update (sometimes it needs a few seconds until it starts)
+ Exit launcher and rerun it again
+ Repeat the last 2-steps until there is no update left
+ Launch the game

!!! [If you don't have DirectX 9.0c, installed it is required, and now this is also included in the torrent. In the ReturnOfReckoning-March2020 folder find the dx90c folder, open that and run DXSETUP.exe]

I would recommend to switch the resoultion of the game...

go to your RoR game folder > user > and open the UserSettings.xml with an editor

search for this line (line 4 or so)
and change it to

Code: Select all

<Mode window_frame="true" fullscreen="false" />

save the file
and start your game again

If you have further question or the problem is still there, join us on the offical RoR discord (link in my discription) and ask again in #technical-advice
