KRONOS LAUNCHER

Extract the entire launcher ZIP into a folder you can keep, then open
KronosLauncher.exe. Use Install location to choose a new empty folder on a drive
with enough space. Select Install Kronos for a first installation, Update Kronos
when a new release is offered, or Play Kronos when your client is ready.

Already have the complete standalone game? Select Import existing copy and its
Kronos.exe. The launcher verifies and copies matching files into its own managed
installation. It does not change the original folder. Steam manages its own
installations; use Steam to update and launch the Steam version.

Sign in with your existing Kronos account in the game. Your characters remain
on the realm. Switching from a standalone ZIP may require signing in once again.
Future launcher updates keep local game preferences and your encrypted sign-in
session outside replaceable game versions.

Close the game before updating or repairing it. Repair files verifies the
installed client and downloads any damaged files again. A cancelled or failed
update keeps the previous verified version intact; reopen the launcher to retry.

If Windows reports a missing Visual C++ runtime, install the game's included
Engine/Extras/Redist/en-us/vc_redist.x64.exe. The launcher includes its own .NET
runtime. Download it only from https://kronosmmo.com/.

The launcher verifies digitally signed game manifests and SHA-256 file hashes.
This launcher executable does not currently have a publisher Authenticode
certificate. Launcher self-updates are not yet available; a future launcher
replacement is a new download. Individual interrupted downloads restart.

Game files: your chosen installation folder (default %LOCALAPPDATA%\Kronos\Game)
Game preferences/session: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Kronos\UserData
Launcher preferences: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Kronos\Launcher
