Installing Ragnarok Origin on your PC

After downloading the installer, it will be in a form of an self-extracting RAR package. You have to select which directory you want to install the game.

Once extracted, open up the installation directory and go to GameLauncher > GameLauncher.exe. Make sure to open the GameLauncher.exe file.

Response Error

Upon launching the PC client, you might encounter an error message stating, “Response error. Please try again later.” This error is typically a temporary server issue that can arise from various factors, including heavy traffic on the server, the server being temporarily unavailable, or even issues with your computer’s internet connection.

There is a simple workaround that many players have found effective. Instead of waiting and retrying later, you can repeatedly click the “Confirm” button. By “spam clicking” the button, you may be able to bypass the error and gain access to the server more quickly.

Game Launcher didn’t Restart

When you suddenly close the game and want to re-open it again, it seems that nothing happens and the game launcher didn’t restart or re-appear. The problem with this is that the game launcher are actually running but didn’t show up in your desktop, to launch it again you need to kill its process on the task manager.

ALT + CTRL + DELETE, go to Processes, then find the GameLauncher.exe then End Task. Now, open the game launcher again and it should start without problem.
