Download
Everything you need to play: the ArcheAge 1.2 (r208022) client and a launcher that installs and keeps it up to date.
A ready-made client build. Unpack the archive and run the launcher — it will verify the files.
Easier with the launcher: it downloads the client itself, checks the files and installs updates.
The launcher installs the game, downloads only changed files and updates itself. Every update is digitally signed.
Windows 10/11. If Windows says "Windows protected your PC", click "More info" → "Run anyway".
Installation
Pick a short path without non-Latin letters, e.g. C:\Games\ArcheAge. Do not install into "Program Files" — the launcher needs write access.
On the first start the launcher downloads the client or verifies an unpacked one and fetches the missing parts.
Always start the game from the launcher, not directly via archeage.exe — otherwise the client misses updates and cannot log in.
