Getting the game data

Full Game

Installing from a CD

Just install the game normally using either Windows or Wine and then apply the 1.21 patch.

Because there is no extractor for the patch setup file, we cannot provide an automated install script yet.

Buying a new copy on-line

The windows version of Arx Fatalis is available at various download-only stores:

• GOG.com
• Steam
• Direct2Drive

Just like with the cd install, do a normal windows (or wine) install and then copy the data (or run directly in the install directory). However, the download-only versions should already include the latest patch.

Required files

The project is in need of checksums for the various versions of the data.

If you have a version not listed or you'd like to verify that you have the required files, please see Required data files and checksums.

Demo

Download arx_demo_english.zip or arxdemoenglish.zip (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.

You can either install the demo using windows or wine or use cabextract to extract the data files.

There is a helper script in the scripts directory of the Arx Libertatis source code that wraps unzip and cabextract. Run:

scripts/install-demo path/to/arx_demo_english.zip path/to/output/dir/

If you have md5sum installed, the script will also verify the installed files.
