trouble installing

So I have been playing for a couple months now and the new patch just hit. For some reason, I lost the laucher.

I tried to uninstall and download it again but when I download the torrent, unzip it, the file I get for RoR doesn't contain it either, so I can't launch or patch the game.

Please help, as it stands now, I can't even play the game

is there a link where I can find the launcher or updater, or is there something I am doing wrong ?

Thank you

Hey,

here is the link to the (always) newest RoR Launcher: http://launcher.returnofreckoning.com/RoRLauncher.exe
+ check your antivirus/windows defender and whitelist the whole RoR folder + RoR launcher.

And here a short how-to-download // install:

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 RoR Folder to c:\
- Unblock the launcher (right click RoRLauncher.exe -> properties -> click Unblock button)
- Check if your whole RoR Folder is whitelisted in your Antivir program
- Remove the write-protection (right click the game folder -> properties -> disable read-only) from all the files in the WAR folder.
- You may also try running the launcher with Administrator privileges. (Right click the RoR updater > properties > run administrator)
- Run RoRLauncher.exe
- Let it update (wait a few seconds)
- Exit launcher and rerun it again
- Repeat the last 2-steps until there is no update
- 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]

Now when I try to copy the launcher in the folder on my desktop, it just disappear and when I try to redownload it again and open it, it just shut down on it's own...
