# Download and Install

Welcome to OceaniaRO. This page covers the basic setup process so you can get in-game with the least friction.

## Before You Begin

- Make sure you have a stable internet connection.
- Use the latest fresh client package provided by OceaniaRO.
- If you have older Ragnarok or OceaniaRO files on your PC, keep this install in its own separate folder.
- Do not copy the fresh client over the top of an older client folder.

## Download Steps

1. Open the [official OceaniaRO download page](https://oro.playonnetwork.xyz/download.html).
2. Download the fresh full client from [MediaFire](https://www.mediafire.com/file/l6ni0tcwythsm5j/OceaniaRO_Client.zip/file) or the [Google Drive mirror](https://drive.google.com/file/d/12p_4r_ARie-dfrB7cgndUNGwiJfKLZPu/view?usp=sharing).
3. Save the zip somewhere easy to find, such as your desktop or downloads folder.

## Installation Steps

1. Extract the downloaded archive using 7-Zip or a similar tool.
2. Place the game files into a clean folder, such as `C:\Games\OceaniaRO`.
3. Right-click `OceaniaROPatcher.exe` and choose **Run as Administrator**.
4. Allow the patcher to finish before starting the game with `OceaniaRO.exe`.

## Recommended Setup Notes

- Do not install the client inside protected system folders such as Program Files unless you know how to handle Windows permission issues.
- Keep the game in a simple folder path if possible.
- Let the patcher complete fully before trying to log in.
- If you are replacing an old client, extract the fresh package to a new folder instead of merging files.

## If Something Goes Wrong

- If the patcher fails, close it and try again as Administrator.
- If the client does not launch, check that your antivirus has not quarantined any files.
- If you are unsure whether your files are current, re-run the patcher as Administrator first.
- If problems continue, use the support path in Discord and include a screenshot of the error.

## Next Step

Once the client is installed, continue to **Registering an Account** and make sure your login details are ready before first launch.
