Force enable GPU to use for Ragnarok

[sushitriesRO]

 

This guide is for players with PC hardware that uses a discrete GPU which is not natively enabled in the setup.exe. If you are wondering which resources of your hardware are used when playing, try opening Taskbar Manager and see if you GPU is being used when playing RO. You can also simply check by opening your setup if your GPU is among the choices from the dropdown menu.

Basically if your setup.exe looks like this:

Then this guide might be helpful to utilize your hardware better and free up precious CPU processes when opening up other programs/windows (X.X)

 

1. First thing you need to do is open up the software manager for your GPU (for mine, I'm using NVIDIA Control Panel)

 

2. Second is to "add" the Ragnarok.exe (ArunafeltzRO.exe) to use the GPU by clicking the "Program Setting" menu:

3. Click the "add" button:

4. Then browse the ArunaRO folder for the "ArunafeltzRO.exe"

5. Next, proceed to the 2nd step and replace "Integrated Graphics" into "High-performance NVIDIA processor"

      5a. from this:

      5b to this:

and just click the "Apply" button on the lower right side of the control panel window.

6. Repeat steps 1-5 for "Setup.exe".

7. Next, just copy the contents of this folder to the AunafeltzRO directory/folder:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16prExk-T_1bBqu2MOml5vbNmYOhtju8t?usp=sharing

 You should see the following 4 files in the directory:

7. Lastly, run/open "Setup.exe" as admin and pretty much you will now be able to choose your dedicated GPU to run ArunafeltzRO.

(You can choose either "HAL" or "TnL HAL" option. Tried both and haven't seen any difference)

Now, your CPU can breath easier since the dedicated GPU is now doing part of the labor when playing. (Time to open up those 5 clients XD)
