Hmm.. this isn't going to help your problem.. cuz.. this is my own problem.. lol I'm not too new to RO, been playing for a while. And I like to play on multiple servers. But lately none of them work. I get to the loading screen, and the game freezes, and I'm forced to restart my computer. I've been able to close the process out a few times, and the only thing wrong was that the client wasn't responding. But, it's doing this with every server I play on.
If you installed RO and Sak you should have the binkw32.dll where your RO + heRO are installed. Usually default folder is c -> program files -> gravity -> ro
When installing the heRO patch, make sure to specify the right folder if your RO files are not default folder.
As to zanias' problem, if you're trying to get multiple servers to run, keep them in separate RO folders. Doing that usually fixes most problems surrounding this kind of thing, because servers have a tendency to overwrite files needed for other servers...not that it's usually applied to loading screens o.O
When you are running the application (in this case heRO-server), make sure you run it from the same folder where all your other RO related files are put. Your RO folder should also have binkw32.dll so it should be able to run properly. :]
I tried running RO from my desktop but it wouldn't run because of that problem.
I make a new folder for each new server I play on. I keep a clean folder of KRO to copy whenever I feel like trying out a new server. I'm goin to get a new KRO
Uhhh, lol. I got the new KRO, and it errors halfway through the update, I guess the download was corrupt?
I'm sittin here at my friend's house. I show him RO, and he likes it, so I brought it over on my external hard drive. We copy the HeRO folder over, and I ask him to drag HeRO.exe over to the desktop to shortcut it.
when we run the executable we get a missing binkw32.dll error. What was wrong was that we cut the hero.exe out of the folder, removing it from the rest of the file.
So basically, make sure all the files are there, and it should work just fin ;D
