For help with problems running the game when your system meets the above system requirements, look at the official support site, where you can also ask for help from a support representative if you cannot find a solution to your problem in the current support forums or the old support forums.

There is also live support available, it can be accessed from outside the game by using CeB (former Klients) and from in game by using the /supportChat command.

A preconfigured CeB for Windows can be found here, for binaries for Mac OS and Linux you need to go here.

Running the game on other supported systems

Supported operating systems

Linux (any variation)

It is recommended to use a Debian based System such as Ubuntu, however any other distribution should work. To install the Client on Ubuntu, follow this guide http://dev.ryzom.com/projects/ryzom/wiki/LinuxBinaries

To manually install the Client and precompiled binaries, follow this guide http://dev.ryzom.com/projects/ryzom/wiki/OfficialRyzomClientLinux

It is also possible to download the source and build your own binaries, see this page for details http://dev.ryzom.com/projects/ryzom/wiki/BuildForLinuxCmake

Apple

Ryzom can be downloaded in the App Store. Due to the limitations of the App Store, Ryzom is not allowed to update itself. Every update has to be downloaded from the App Store and is currently as large as the original download (3Gb).

It is possible to bypass this limitation and update the Client manually with the following commands:

mkdir ryzom_client.app/Contents/Resources
cd ryzom_client.app/Contents/Resources
rsync -rtzv --progress --stats www.ryzom.com::ryzom/data data
rsync -rtzv --progress --stats www.ryzom.com::ryzom/client_default.cfg .

Further details and binaries can be found here http://dev.ryzom.com/projects/ryzom/wiki/MacBinaries
