Choose your download
Open the Downloads page for the current game and launcher versions, package sizes and SHA256 checksums. Windows Installer is the recommended guided setup. Portable ZIP is the alternative: extract the complete archive into a folder before opening the launcher.
Official and Google Drive links are alternatives for the same package. Choose one provider; you do not need both packages or both mirrors.
Install, then open the launcher
For the installer, complete the guided installation and open the Eclipse Legacy launcher. For the portable package, finish extracting all files first. Do not run the game from inside the ZIP archive.
Allow room for the download, extraction and future updates. Keep the installation in a folder you can write to. Use the launcher for updates before entering the game; an old shortcut to the game executable can skip that update step.
If a download or patch fails
Try Google Drive if the Official download is slow or unavailable on your connection. Try another connection if the download repeatedly stops. Some countries or Internet providers restrict access to download or patch hosts; where permitted, a VPN may help. Follow your local rules and the provider’s terms.
Keep the complete download before installing or extracting. If a file is incomplete or its checksum differs from the one on Downloads, obtain a fresh copy. Do not disable security software or ignore a security warning to force an unknown file to run.
Prepare your account and character
Website sign-in and your linked Game Account serve different purposes. Manage Game Accounts from your website account before signing into the client. Do not share either password with other players.
After the launcher finishes updating, enter the game and select or create your character. Continue with the Beginner guide for controls, starter equipment and your first progression goals.
