RO Patcher Lite (c) 2009-2023 Ai4rei/AN

RO Patcher Lite

Replacement for Gravity's RO patcher. Works faster and doesn't consume your entire memory for just seeing it crashing, aside from this, it works almost exactly as the official patcher does, so that it shouldn't break, unless Gravity changes something vital to their patcher. It is free of any cost and works on every 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft* Windows* platform.

News

[2023-12-18] Release 4.2.2.1316

This maintenance release removes support for iRO (region locked) and updates zlib to 1.3.0. It also includes some enhancements for deployment on unstable hardware for my own purposes.

[2023-04-16] Release 4.2.1.1309

This release now processes updates of the official patcher immediately, so that the RO client does not have to restart for that. It also fixes two minor issues and updates to zlib 1.2.13.

Mirrors

As some countries seem blocked from using the official kRO patch server, the patcher offers tamper-resistant patch download from community contributed mirrors as fall-back mechanism from version 2.4.5 onwards. Anyone willing is free to apply for inclusion into the list of approved mirrors. Patches served through mirrors are subject to delayed release due to technical reasons.
