Download & Installation

Download

As soon as a new Season starts, the newest client will be available for download at the official Ashes of Phoenix site. Official Site

Just be sure to run the Updater, especially if you download the client in the middle of the season, or even a few days afterwards, as the game usually gets weekly, sometimes daily updates!

Installation

NOTE: Upon starting the game, there will be a lengthly blackscreen. Do not skip or interrupt this process and simply wait. This process shouldn't take longer then a minute and gets some additional data from the Server.
The game does not need any form of Installing. Simply unzipping it and starting the ClientDX.exe found inside is enough, however, there are a few things you might want to do beforehand.

First of all, make sure to run Updater.exe to make sure you have all the newest game-files. Otherwise, you might miss textures of newly added content, or even crash entirely! Try to run this before each time you start the game.

Second, you might want to adjust some keybinds. I discourage you from using the HotkeysConfig.exe as it can mess up your keybinds, instead, open up the hotkeys.ini and adjust them there directly! .ini files can be opened in any notepad editor, even the windows pre-installed one!

If you need help with keybinds and what they mean, you are advised to look here!: Hotkeypage

You can also install some mods, though there are 2 ways of installing them. It is advised to not install Mods for now, as you can always do so later, after having a grip on the game mechanics and knowing what you need.

In case you are still interested, here are some available Mods!: Mods
