Retail Restoration Project

Restoring Dragon Ball Online KR 1.50.46

The Korean retail client 1.50.46 runs unmodified for now. The server is being rebuilt system by system until it behaves like the original service, including content the client carries but that shipped switched off.

    Korean retail client 1.50.46, used exactly as shipped until the server is completely rebuilt.

  • Tools Active

    PackEditor 1.5.4, Patch Maker and World Editor in use. Retail launcher rebuild in verification.

  • Server Active

    32 update passes. The current package passes 1,441 automated checks.

  • Research Active

    Each system is compared with the retail client before and after it is rebuilt.

  • Database Active

    Retail game tables are used unchanged.

  • Documentation Active

    About 20 reference documents and a public dev log on Discord.

Why KR 1.50.46?

  • It is the last Korean retail version, so every system the game shipped with is in the client.
  • The client stays unmodified, so the server has to match the original behaviour.
  • The client also carries content that shipped switched off. That content is being finished and opened.
  • New content is only added on top of a verified retail base.
