'''Solution I:'''
===What are the rewards for donating?===
There are three types of donation rewards in aRO, depending on what the player wants to obtain as a currency reward:
* [[Cash Point]]s: Point used to adquire items from [[Cash Shop]]. Can be used as currency to exchange items or services between players. Auto-trade stores can be configured in this currency.
* [[RMT Coin]]s: Coin used for exchange between players for real money values. Can be withdrawn from the server as a Paypal balance. Auto-trade stores can be configured in this currency.
* [[Wish Coin]]s: Coin given as part of the [[Wish Coins Rewards Program]]. Obtained as an additional benefit after donating for Cash Points or converting RMT Coins into Cash. This currency can't be traded.

===What type of donation currency should I choose?===
When considering which one to choose, we recommend keeping the following in mind:
# '''Origin of the item/service you are looking for:''' Is this exclusive to the Cash Shop? Is it farmable and sellable by Players?
# '''Additional rewards:''' Are you interested in costumes or benefits of the [[Wish Coins Rewards Program]]? Do you prefer to have a currency that can be converted into Paypal balance?


[[File:Userkeys.png|alt=Userkeys|Userkeys]]
===Additional rewards for donate a certain amount===
Currently, a  montlhy [[Donation Goal Rewards Program]] is available, allowing players to make a single transaction to achieve the reward or make several until you achieve it. These prizes rotate every month. Among them, the [[Costume Garment Box]], [[New Aura Box]], extra [[Wish Coin]]s, extra [[Zeny]] and extra [[Cash Point]]s have been available.


2. Open the game and configure the BM normally.
== Game Client ==
=== Black/White Screen===
==== Solution 1 ====
# Locate and delete the 'ddraw' file in the game client folder.
==== Solution 2 ====
# Open the 'Setup.exe' and change the selected Video Card and/or the Screen Resolution.
==== Solution 3 ====
# Close all the active game clients.
# Download and install [https://www.microsoft.com/es-ar/download/details.aspx?id=30679 Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable x86 2012] and [https://www.microsoft.com/es-ar/download/details.aspx?id=48145 2015].
# Restart your computer.
# Run the game.
==== Solution 4 ====
# Close all the active game clients.
# Right click on the 'AdventuresRO 2.0.exe' file and select 'Properties' option.
# Click on the 'compatibility' tab and select 'Run this program in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode'.
# In the same tab, choose the 'Run as Administrator' option.
# Click 'Apply' and accept to close the window.
# Run the game.
==== Solution 5 ====
# Locate the 'OptionInfo.lua' file in the 'savedata' folder of the Game Client.
# Open it and verify that the following lines are declared like this:
<blockquote>OptionInfoList["ISFULLSCREENMODE"] = 0


OptionInfoList["WIDTH"] = 800


'''Solution II:'''
OptionInfoList["HEIGHT"] = 600


1. With the Client closed, open the savedata folder inside the client and place the following file:
OptionInfoList["OLD_WIDTH"] = 800
<pre>
USERKEY_1 = {
[35] = { EXE = "Hotkey 4-9", KEY1 = 32 },
}
</pre>
2. Open the game and configure the BM normally.


== Game Crashes ==
OptionInfoList["OLD_HEIGHT"] = 600


Normally ingame crashes can be due to two reasons:
OptionInfoList["BITPERPIXEL"] = 16


# The lack of some game file/sprite: In the first case, the solution is as simple as updating through Patcher.exe.
OptionInfoList["DEVICECNT"] = 0
# Some third party software not allowed by Gepard protection: We recommend closing all software related to peripherals with a macro system.


== Updating the Client ==
OptionInfoList["MODECNT"] = 0


If you are unable to update the Client using Patcher.exe, try the following: 1. Create an exception for the
OptionInfoList["SPRITEMODE"] = 2


# Create an exception for the Patcher.exe file in your Antivirus or temporarily disable Antivirus (in Windows Defender you can find this option under: Antivirus and threat protection / Antivirus and threat protection settings / Real-time protection: Off).
OptionInfoList["TEXTUREMODE"] = 2
# If you have a firewall, create an exception for the Patcher.exe file or temporarily disable it to update. 3. If all of the above doesn’t work, we recommend downloading the client again with the antivirus/firewall temporarily disabled.
</blockquote>
# If you don’t have the Patcher.exe file, you can download it from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HuybhkexB6HploDGUpu_NfzO3NHlc5Kl/view?usp=sharing
=== Game Crash ===
 
Normally ingame crashes can be due to two reasons:
== Upload or view Guild Emblems ==
* The lack of some game file/sprite: In the first case, the solution is as simple as updating through 'Adventures Updater v2.0.exe' file.
 
* Some third party software not allowed by Gepard protection: We recommend closing all software related to peripherals with a macro system.
# The emblems must be an image format .BMP or .GIF of exact 24×24 pixels (animated gifs are allowed).
=== Update Problem ===
# The emblems must be housed within the Client Folder, in a so-called emblem. Example: AdventuresRO/Emblem. 3 .Have the latest Server update. To confirm this, simply open the Patcher.exe file found in the Client folder.
If you are unable to update the game client, try one of the following options:
 
* Locate and delete the 'patch.dat' file in the game client folder.
== Setup the Adventures RO Gray World GRF ==  
* Create an exception on Windows Defender or another antivirus/firewall you use for the 'Adventures Updater v2.0.exe' file.
 
* Temporarily disable Antivirus (in Windows Defender you can find this option under: Antivirus and threat protection / Antivirus and threat protection settings / Real-time protection: Off).
# Update your client.
* If all of the above doesn’t work, we recommend downloading the client again with the antivirus/firewall temporarily disabled.
# Open data.ini file from your client main folder and declare the GRF that you wanna use in the list, just after gepard.grf. For example:
* If you don’t have the Patcher.exe file, you can download it from [https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsnTOeaxujrYgQ8jurdn39d0b02I?e=JuLV3u here].

# graymapclean.grf: A simply no-fields/dungeons textures/models with clean gray floor.
====Solution 1====
 
# Close all the active game clients.
Choose what you want to use and just declare it on your data.ini file.
# Locate the 'Adventures Updater v2.0.exe' file on the game client folder.
 
# Make a 'right click' over the 'Adventures Updater v2.0.exe' file.
For those of you still having issues with saving shortcuts/battlemode and the above options didn’t work, here’s a radical way to do it:
# Select the 'Run as Administrator' option.
 
# Open the game and configure the BM normally.
# Configure the BM/Shortcuts.
====Solution 2====
# Without closing the client, find and open the savedata/UserKeys.lua file to verify that the shortcuts are there.
# Close all the active game clients.
# Right click on the file and select the “Read Only” option. In case you need to modify the BM again, disable the option and enable it again after saving it.
