Download and install

Download, patch, play

One installer sets up the game and keeps it patched. It installs nothing but the game: no anti-cheat, no driver, no background service.

Midgard PocketThe phone app for Android Closed beta

Midgard Pocket is the native phone client. It opens first as a closed beta on the local network, then wider. It shares your account, the Marketplace and the Cockpit.

Install

Step by step on Windows

  1. Step 1 Download the installer Get NirvanaRO-Patcher.exe from the button above and save it in the folder you want the game in, for example C:\Games\Nirvana.
  2. Step 2 Run it and read the notice The first time it runs, the patcher shows what playing here means. Scroll to the end and the buttons unlock. Windows may say it protected your PC. Choose More info, then Run anyway: the patcher is new and has little SmartScreen reputation yet.
  3. Step 3 Let it download and patch The patcher fetches the game data and every patch over HTTPS from nirvana-ragnarok.my. The first run takes a while; the game data alone is 5.75 GB.
  4. Step 4 Press Start The patcher launches NirvanaRO.exe. From now on, always start the game from the patcher so you stay up to date.
  5. Step 5 Log in with your website account Use the same username and password as this website. If you turned on two-factor sign-in, have your code ready.
  6. Step 6 Pick your class Type @menu, open Getting Started and visit the Job Hub Master. You leave at max level with a starter kit.

Before you install

Nothing is installed on your computer

The patcher shows this notice once, the first time it runs, and you scroll to the end before the buttons unlock. In short:

  • No anti-cheat DLL, driver or launcher agent, now or later
  • No hardware IDs: no MAC address, disk serial or machine GUID
  • No files, processes, keystrokes or window titles are read
  • No background service and no autorun: uninstalling is deleting the folder

Troubleshooting

If something goes wrong

The patcher will not start

Make sure the folder is one you can write to (not Program Files), then run NirvanaRO-Patcher.exe again. If Windows SmartScreen stops it, choose More info and Run anyway.

My antivirus flags the game

The game is the official Gravity client patched for Nirvana; nothing extra is installed. Add the game folder as an exception, then run the patcher again so it can replace anything that was quarantined.

Stuck on "connecting" or kicked back to login

Check the Status page first. If the servers are up, allow the game through your firewall (it talks to the login server on port 6900) and try again.

The patcher stops halfway or a file fails

Close the game and run the patcher again: it resumes and re-downloads only what is missing or broken. On a weak connection, try the zipped full client instead.

The game says my client is out of date

Always start from the patcher, not from NirvanaRO.exe directly. The patcher brings you to the latest patch before it launches the game.

My Zeny counter shows a strange number

That is your Glory. Zeny is retired, so the client's Zeny counter shows the balance that matters.

I lost my two-factor device

Something else is broken

Type @bug in game, which attaches your client version, or ask in Discord. Screenshots help.

Reports reach staff fastest on Discord, and global chat in game is bridged there both ways.
