strangely i have a copy of ryzom on usb drive, and i do not understand or encounter the error your speaking of.
when i use the usb drive on another computer i simply plug it in and open the ryzom folder on the key and run the client. since many of the computers i've used this method on have NEVER had ryzom installed on them, perhaps this is why i don't suffer the same issue.
i would reccomend that you stop digging so deep, open the client.cfg file, in that file it will have the last login used listed there.
my next question is are you trying to log more then one toon in on the same single "install"? i use quotes because i haven't had to reinstall ryzom on any of my computers since the first time pre-merger. (i also have different copy's of ryzom for each alt (which is why when i open any given client the proper account name is already filled in).
the bottom line, i have NEVER encountered any issue playing ryzom off a usb key on a computer that ryzom has never been installed on. the only password i've ever been asked to input is the normal password to log-in. if your trying to find a way to skip the log-in screen that's another post, but i'll help by just explaining it here now:
create a shortcut for the client.
right click new shortcut and choose properties.
on the "shortcut" tab you will find a line called "target" (your exact data in this box will vary from my example)
in the target box you should see something that looks similar to the line below:
"X:\games\ryzom 4\client_ryzom_rd.exe"
to make your WINDOWS shortcut auto-login simply add the account name and password to the target line. example below:
"X:\games\ryzom 4\client_ryzom_rd.exe" username password
there is a space between the " and username, as well as between username and password.
click on "apply"
click on "ok"
the shortcut you just edited will now automatically log into that account when you run it, so that the first time the game requires input from you is to choose the toon you desire to play on that account. (i do not use this on a usb device because that's just asking for trouble (a usb drive may not always have the same drive letter), but it works flawlessly on my personal computers at home.)
if there's something more i'm missing in your issue playing ryzom off a usb device on a computer that's not had ryzom installed on it previouslly please share that data, i'd love to try to reproduce the problem your having to try to figure it out.
