Game Configuration

After you have installed Rune, there are some things you should change before you do anything else.

1. Disable CD checking

You will notice if you try to start the game without the Rune CD that you will get a bunch of errors, and you can’t start the game. To start the game without a CD go to the game System folder (default is C:\Rune\System) and open the file Rune.ini with a text editor. Look for a line that start with “CdPath” and delete it or uncomment it. Lines can be uncommented in ini files with either putting a ‘ or // at the start of the line. So make these changes and save the file:

...
ViewportManager=WinDrv.WindowsClient
Render=Render.Render
Input=Engine.Input
Canvas=Engine.Canvas
//CdPath=D:

2. Download new graphics renderers

Unless you are using Rune Classic you should download new versions of the graphic renderers:

Rune 1.07
OpenGL | Direct3D9

Rune 1.00
OpenGL

After you have put those new renderers in your System folder, start up the game and go to Options->Video and change your settings.

3. Change some Rune.ini settings

Don’t auto delete files downloaded from servers:

PurgeCacheDays=0

Increase size of game cache:

CacheSizeMegs=8

Disable web server:

//ServerActors=UWeb.WebServer
