Hanging at the last loading bar.

I tried removing the user and save folder, and it doesn't help. Everytime I hit play on the character selection screen, it gets to the last loading bar and stops. Music still plays, and the mouse moves, its not frozen, just sitting there....

I installed the game yesterday, and had the problem right of the bat. The way I eventually fixed it was deleting my character from within the game, then recreating it. However, I don't want to do that everytime, because then I lose my progress, right? I'm out of ideas, reinstalled the whole game from the torrent, re patched, deleted the user and save folders, reboots... Any ideas?

Re: Hanging at the last loading bar.

Firewall/router ports?

Re: Hanging at the last loading bar.

yea, did that too.

I managed to get it working I think. At least I have a workaround. I make a new character, deleted it, then I can load my old one. Seems to work.

Re: Hanging at the last loading bar.

Disclaimer: This is a shot in the dark from info I *think* I remember hearing...

Try renaming your "unpack" and "save" folders in the Ryzom folder before starting the client.

If it starts up, quit and return the "save" folder to see if your configurations still work. If so, you're set.

If not, there's some corruption in your "save" folder. You can try bringing your interface_ and/or keys_ files back to see if you can prevent total loss of config.

Hopefully one of those does it.

Peace,
- Sui

Re: Hanging at the last loading bar.

Ok, so what I was doing before was a fluke, its not working now.

Here's what I've done so far...

Set up my router for the ports.
I renamed the save folder.
Renamed the unpack folder. It downloads the files again.
Renamed both.
Renamed cfg folder, downloads some stuff.
Change all my settings in the ryzom_configuration_rd.exe to low or off.
Uninstalled/reinstalled.
Used updated radeon drivers instead of omega.

When I first installed the game I couldn't load it. The first time I was able to play, I deleted my character and re-made it, since that was the first time I played I had no xp to worry about, but the next time I wanted to play it wouldn't load. I got it working again when I created a new character, deleted it, and then loaded my old character. When I got up this morning, it opened fine. Next time it wouldn't. When I installed the new drivers it worked one time, but the next time I tried to play the game, it didn't. Nothing has consistently worked.

I'm out of ideas. Maybe re-download, but thats a big file...

athlon xp 3000+
radeon 9600xt
2gb of ram
nforce2 mobo
windows xp pro

Re: Hanging at the last loading bar.

how long does it take to load up from char select to game / last bar ? last bar is when game has loaded all the landscape and textures and tries to reconnect to servers. if it times out when loading textures/data or connection in your router times out, it sits on last bar forever.

also, for testing, remove your router from the loop.

Re: Hanging at the last loading bar.

Solved.

Since my modem is ~50ft from my computer, and I didn't want to lay down $30 on a cat5 cable... I fiddled with some more stuff. Finally fixed it by updating my router firmware... :-\

Its a linksys WRT54GS, and I found a post that said the game has problems with linksys routers, and that some people updated the firmware and that fixed it.
