Downloads

Get the game.

L2 Conquest runs on the Lineage II High Five client with our small patch on top. Windows only. Two downloads, then a few minutes to install.

  1. Step 1

    The High Five client

    The full Lineage II High Five client, about the size of a modern game. Already have it from another High Five server? Use that copy and skip to step 2.

  2. Step 2

    The L2 Conquest patch

    One zip for the client's system folder. It points the client at our servers and adds the item names and icons our server uses. The same patch works for the beta and the launch.

  3. Step 3

    Install and play

    1. Extract the patch zip into the client's system folder and let it replace the files there.
    2. Start system\l2.exe. Windows asks for administrator rights: the client always asks for them.

Before you run it

Check the patch.

Antivirus programs sometimes flag Lineage II patches, ours included, because they change game files. Check that your file is the one we published: open PowerShell in your Downloads folder and compare the result with the SHA-256 above.

Get-FileHash .\L2Conquest-patch.zip -Algorithm SHA256

Troubleshooting

If it doesn't start.

"d3dx9_xx.dll is missing"

The client needs the old DirectX 9 libraries. Install the DirectX End-User Runtime (June 2010) from Microsoft, then start the client again.

The client closes right after the logo

Check that you extracted the patch into system, not into a new folder inside it. The patch's l2.ini must sit next to l2.exe.

My antivirus deleted a file

Compare the patch's SHA-256 with the one on this page. If it matches, restore the file from quarantine and add the client folder as an exception.

Can I play on a Mac?

Not directly. The client is Windows only.
