Lich v4

[Renian]

And now for an actual problem.

So I get into the game and it says Lich is active and whatnot. I can send commands to the game, and it will register them fine. But I can't receive the text from the game; it doesn't get through Lich. As in, the game window never updates.

In case anyone else comes across this problem, apparently infomon and DragonRealms don't mix.

This. Turning off infomon after the fact still doesn't remove the issue. It must be removed from global favorites.

First time Lich user and just recently returned to the game so I really have no idea what I'm doing. I'm having the same problem as some guys previously in this thread where I DL'd and ran/extracted Ruby and Lich v.4.0.15 and it won't do anything when I run it. As was previously mentioned I was able to navigate to the folder and run it through the command prompt just fine, but obviously that's rather tedious and annoying so if anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong I'd appreciate it.

What OS are you using?

[Kramble]

Vista. I'm assuming its a permissions issue though I've turned the obvious popup stuff off and am logged in as admin. I'm sure there's other Vista terribleness in the way.

I believe the problem is that very early in the launch process, Lich is trying to write to stdout before stdout is redirected. On Windows, when running rubyw.exe, this causes an error. This was fixed at some point or other.. The current version of Lich is 4.1.11. You can rename lich.rbw to lich.rb, double-click on that, log in, and let Lich update itself. When the file extention is rb instead of rbw, a command prompt will show up. After it updates, you should be able to rename it back to lich.rbw. The problem could be something else though.. seems like I would have updated the website after a fix like this.

Yeah, you fixed that Tillmen. For Vista or Win7, lich.rbw just needs to be run as an administrator. To accomplish this, right click the file and select run as admin. If you place your lich folder within your User File, like in the Documents folder you only need to run it as an administrator the initial time. If you do not have it in a user folder, it will need to be run as an administrator every time for every instance so it has permissions to make file changes.

I'm still having trouble with this. I've check and rechecked and I'm definitely signed in as the admin (there's only one user on the comp) but when I right click the file there isn't an option to run as admin. I'm able to play just fine with the work around, and I'm assuming it updates to the newest version, I just can't figure out how to run it normally. I've got it working fine on my XP machine so it's obviously just a Vista/I suck issue.

I can run other programs as admin, just not lich. Any ideas?
