Dogma Rising

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1
   windows

   Open the server's How To Play page (https://play.dogmarising.org/howtoplay). The complete client is a 15 GB compressed archive hosted on four Google Drive mirrors; all of them contain the same client and the latest launcher. PlayBound cannot one-click this because the client is only distributed as that archive.

2. 2
   windows

   Extract the archive with 7-Zip or WinRAR; Windows' built-in extractor causes errors. Leave plenty of space for the extracted client.

3. 3
   windows

   Open the extracted folder and run DDO_Launcher.exe as Administrator. Install .NET and DirectX if it asks. The launcher should already point at the Dogma Rising lobby (dogmarising.org, port 52100) and download server (port 52099).

4. 4
   windows

   Register an account inside the launcher (any account ID and password; no email) and save the details somewhere safe. Click the translation icon to install the English patch, then Login.

5. 5
   windows

   Afterwards use Locate in PlayBound and point it at the extracted folder so the launcher adds DDO_Launcher.exe to your library. A launcher-only build is on GitHub (D00MK1D/DDON-Launcher-WPF) but must sit beside the client's DDO.exe.
