Support

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 support forums.

Command line arguments

Command line arguments are startup parameters that can be used to alter the game's behavior. For a complete list and instructions on how to use these see command line arguments.

Languages

Ryzom currently supports three different languages; English, German and French. There are mentions in an official newsletter of Spanish and Russian to be added in future patches.

Running the game on unsupported systems

Warning: Running Ryzom on other operating systems is completely unsupported by Winch Gate Pty Ltd.. Use at your own risk as support may not always be able to help you.

Unsupported graphics cards

Unsupported operating systems

Linux (any variation)

It is possible to play it on Linux using Wine, CrossOver or using a virtual machine.

Apple

It is also possible to play Ryzom on Apple systems.

For Macbook:
Basically you just need to split your hard-drive into two partitions and use one to run Apple OS and the other to run Windows XP; following bootcamp's instructions to install Windows XP on the second partition. After XP has been installed, you hold OPTION/ALT during start up to select the hard-drive you want to boot, select the Windows hard-drive. Download and install Ryzom. Depending on your hardware configuration you might need to change to Direct3d or OpenGL (You can make this selection in Ryzom Configurations.)

Select the Windows hard-drive. Download and install Ryzom. Due to the limiting Graphics Card on my computer, I had to run the very basic graphics, everything is set to low and I have found Direct3d shows graphics better. (You can make this selection in Ryzom Configurations.) I mostly use this computer to dig, although I have gone hunting with it and have dualboxed also.
