Getting the game data
Full Game
Digital download
The Windows version of Arx Fatalis is available at:
- GOG.com - DRM-free download without proprietary client
- Microsoft Store - You can run Arx Libertatis directly from the Xbox app.
- Steam
All of these include the following languages (text and audio): English, Français (French), Deutsch (German), Italiano (Italian), Pусский (Russian), Español (Spanish)
Under Windows, just install Arx Fatalis normally. The download-only versions(from GOG or the Bethesda.net launcher) already include the latest patch, so there is no need to install it manually. Afterwards, use the Windows installer for Arx Libertatis.
For other operating systems, there is a script to extract the GOG.com installer. For other store versions, install Arx Fatalis normally under Windows or Wine and then see Installing the game data under Linux.
Physical copy
Boxed and CD copies of Arx Fatalis can still be found - be sure to get the PC and not the Xbox version:

- eBay: English (Australia | Ireland | Canada | UK) | Français (French) | Deutsch (German) | Italiano (Italian) | Español (Spanish)

Under Windows, just install Arx Fatalis normally, apply the 1.21 patch and then use the Windows installer for Arx Libertatis.

The following sites work without a login and don't wrap the .zip file in an annoying .exe at the time of writing.
Nordic Games also used to host a different variant of the demo that is packaged in a self-extracting RAR archive: arx_demo_english.exe
