Ok as long i never had problems installing or connecting to RYL 1 - RYL 2 servers (unless they where offline offcourse )
and with the enormous amount of topics regarding this matter i've decided to make this "Step by Step guide".Let's begin!
(1): First thing first if you have RYL-1 or RYL-2 installed !UNINSTALL THEM! after uninstalling DELETE the CIB folder.
(2):Before you install, RUN REGEDIT (or other programs that have acces to registry) look in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-->SOFTWARE", if you find keys named GAMASOFT or CiB Net Station !DELETE THEM! (This is very important!).
(3):Now if you have done everything you are ready to install RYL-2 client (1.602 MY client MAKE SURE is this ONE).
(4):Ok after installing the game DO NOT APPLY PATCH OR INSERT ANY IP but START & STOP THE GAME (like this "press Start count 1..2 STOP!).This is important too, if you don't start&stop the game, client does'nt create Login.dat and the string in registry, that means you can't play no matter what .
(5): Now you are ready to APPLY THE "RYL2PVP PATCH", after that and before you start playing (this is just an hint) DISABLE EVERY FIREWALL you have, especially the windows one, those are only a pain in the a$$ (and if you want less lag don't download or use any download managers, you need both hands to play the game ).
(6): Allright WE MADE IT! now you can start and enjoy this nice server .
