Ryzom

Links seem to be down, this tool looks like it will solve my crash-on-exit headaches

Link is down. I am glad someone came up with this. The flag debacle was, well, a debacle.

Links should work again. Sorry for the temporary downtime.

can always host the files for you fand if you have hosting issues.

Thanks for the link updates, it seems to work great so far, though it's curious that a char name appears in list that I didn't create. My char is Drakhan, but "R2ed_drakhan" also appears.

Hehe, yeah that's your Ring editor configuration. I never visited the Ring editor, so I wasn't aware the game created this kind of configuration.

I could probably add some filter to the code to filter out Ring configs, but maybe it's not so bad if you can backup these configs as well.

""Rystore will create a "Rystore" folder in your "My Documents" folder. That's where it will copy all your character's configuration files if you manually backup them. I don't recommend to delete or rename files or folders in this folder."

I would suggest creating a folder within the Ryzom directory or just putting the backups in the save directory. One of the best things about Ryzom is copying the entire Ryzom folder over to a USB thingie, DVD or whatever and bringing it with you wherever you go w/o havingto reinstall or search the HD for "other" files. I keep a current copy of my Ryzom folder on my USB thingie and take it wherevere I go, ready to copy to a hotel PC, friend's PC, office PC whatever.

What I have been doing since the patch that introduced this bug is simply zip the files to "save[date].zip" right within the save folder and simply unzip to restore any time they get fudged.

I launched Ryzom with this last night, played for a few hours and managed to quit without a crash... I just tried to do it again and wound up starting the process of getting a 183.4MB patch. Upon being told there was no new patch today I exited, restarted with my old-fashioned ryzom.exe, and wound up needing just an 11MB patch - probably to fix whatever I'd just been allowing to happen.

Not sure if the issue was caused by Rystore or my fruitcake of a computer, but I figured it was worth a mention.

Edit: Tried launching with Rystore again the following day and it worked just fine, so I think I'll blame the Ryzom background downloader.

Hiya Tshael,

Rystore just runs the "client_ryzom_rd.exe" in your Ryzom folder, just as if you ran it from windows explorer.

There's no other "magic" happening in Rystore, so I doubt it can influence the way the background patching mechanism works.

Since the game is back, I haven't seen the patcher download *anything* here on my system, and I'm logging on at least once a day. So I believe there hasn't been any bug fixes / patches released by the new devs yet.

But yeah, its kinda weird other people report actually downloading files for patch, I heard this from a number of players now.

I could really use this utility!

I downloaded the "light" version as I already have .Net running - I think it's 3.5. I put Rystore.exe in the Ryzom folder, created a shortcut to the desktop, but no character appears. Start, re-start, nothing.

I run 64 bit Vista. I'm wondering if this is because I don't have a "My Documents" folder - or at least a folder with that name. Or if the Net Framework version differences are to blame.

Is there something you can suggest other than "get rid of Vista"?

Thank you!
