How do I join RaiRO?

To begin, please download the RaiRO client and files. Extract the files to your directory of choice. Periodically, new patches are released for RaiRO, so be sure to check the download page or the forum for any new patches that may not be included with the install files. Instructions are included with each patch, though most only require you to replace old client files with the new patched ones.

After installing RaiRO, it's suggested that you run Setup.exe and choose visual settings for the game to be played on your computer. Most computers have little difficulty running RaiRO, even at high resolutions and detail settings. Once this is done, find and run the file RaiROexe.exe. This is the main executable file for RaiRO, and it is how you access the game. If you wish, create a shortcut to this file on your desktop, for easy access.

Once RaiROexe.exe opens, a small menu will appear with 'RaiRO' in it. This is the server you will be playing on. Select RaiRO if it is not already hilighted, and hit the Enter key or click OK.

To create your account, select a username. Your username will be used to create up to nine characters per account. When registering your username, follow your name with _M or _F. This determines what gender the characters in the account will be, _M for male, and _F for female. Examples:

Username_M
Username_F

Once your username is selected, enter the password of your choice to complete registration. Remember, don't give your password to anyone, and avoid using your chosen Username as a name for your characters! Once your password is entered, click on the Login button, or press the Enter key, and it will create your account.

After registration, you do not need to enter _M or _F after your username to log in, and it will not recognize your username if you include them, so remember to remove it before logging in again.
