The Windows version of Arx Fatalis is available at:

  • GOG.com - English-only; DRM-free download without proprietary client
  • Steam - English, Français (French), Deutsch (German), Italiano (Italian), Pусский (Russian), Español (Spanish)
    NOTE: Currently Arx Fatalis cannot be bought on Steam in some countries - see https://steamdb.info/app/1700/.
    The publisher can be contacted here: http://www.zenimax.com/more

Under Windows, just install Arx Fatalis normally like with the cd and apply the 1.21 patch.The download-only versions(from Stream or GOG) already include the latest patch, so there is no need to install it manually. Afterward, use the Windows installer for Arx Libertatis.

For other operating systems, there is a script to extract the GOG.com installer. For the Steam version, install Arx Fatalis normally under Windows or Wine and then see Installing the game data under Linux.

Required files

Demo

Download arx_demo_english.zip or arxdemoenglish.zip (153 MiB, md5sum: 3c59a5799e1237b1b181c96e8c09155a)

The following sites work without a login and don't wrap the .zip file in an annoying .exe at the time of this writing.

Nordig Games also host a different variant of the demo that is packaged in a self-extracting RAR archive: arx_demo_english.exe (155 MiB, md5sum: fd03149f402b84d23145b39d12403dc8)

Under Windows, just install the demo normally and then use the Windows installer for Arx Libertatis.

For other operating systems, see Installing the game data under Linux.
