Linux Installation

To play Ragnarok Plus in Linux environment including through a Steam Deck, there are several options for you.

Heroic Games Launcher

Generally available in most package managers, otherwise you can go here for to get the latest flatpak or appimage binaries. Once you have that installed, follow steps below:

1. Download and extract Ragnarok Plus client
2. Run Heroic Games Launcher > Add Game
3. Populate the Title, look for an App Image or just use default (shown below), change WinePrefix folder if required. Following Wine/Proton version has been tested:
   • GE-Proton 9.27
   • Wine 10.15
4. Navigate to Ragnarok Plus folder and use Ragnarok+Patcher.exe as the executable then click Finish.
5. As Ragnarok Plus patcher is missing the 'Setup' option, you may want to repeat steps with the following exception
   • Reuse the same Wine Prefix folder you configured above (IMPORTANT)
   • Add Setup.exe instead as the executable
6. With that all done, you should have 2 different entries - one to launch the patcher and another for the Setup.

Steam

This is the preferred method for Steam Deck, instructions below are intended for Steam Deck but applicable for general Linux environment as well.

1. Download, extract, and copy Ragnarok Plus client from your PC to Steam Deck OR omit the copy step if you downloaded from Steam Deck directly
2. Go to Steam Deck desktop mode
3. Launch Steam > Games > Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library
4. Browse for the Ragnarok Plus client location, open Ragnarok+Patcher.exe then Add Selected Program
5. While you are still in desktop mode, modify the properties eg. name and launch options as required
6. You may need to experiment which Proton version works for you, currently only following version is tested
   • GE-Proton 9.27
7. Launch the game and perform the first time setup. If you misconfigured or wish to come back to Setup screen later, you can change the launch executable to Setup.exe temporarily and revert back once is done.

Controller Layout

If you prefer to use a predefined controller layout, rename the game entry to Ragnarok Online, then try out the options available under Community Layouts.
