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 four different languages; English, German, French, Spanish and Russian. As of patch Patch 1.8.0 the client fully supports the Cyrillic alphabet.

Running the game on other supported systems

Supported operating systems

Currently Windows (XP, Vista, 7), Linux and Mac OS are being supported by Ryzom. Below you can find details about the Linux and Mac OS versions of Ryzom and how to get them working.

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.

To manually install the Client and precompiled binaries, follow this guide.

It is also possible to download the source and build your own binaries, see this page for details.

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.
