  • Альтернативный способ доступа к игре без VPN для игроков из России

    В связи с косвенными блокировками со стороны РКН у части игроков из России могут наблюдаться проблемы с доступом к игре.

    В качестве альтернативного решения без использования VPN вы можете скачать готовый архив с уже внесёнными изменениями.

    нструкция

    1. Скачайте готовый архив.

    2. Распакуйте архив в удобное место.

    Важно: путь к папке не должен содержать символов кириллицы.

    Пример правильного пути:

    C:\Games\zapret\

    Пример неправильного пути:

    C:\Игры\zapret\

    3. Запустите один из вариантов general.bat.

    Некоторые варианты могут не работать на вашем подключении, поэтому необходимо подобрать тот, при котором корректно открываются нужные сервисы и появляется доступ к игре.

    4. Используйте только тот вариант, который работает у вас стабильно, это можно проверив, запустив для теста, например, ютуб или дискорд.

  • Failed To Install Launcher

    Could you try installing it on your Desktop first?

    If that does not work, please temporarily disable your antivirus and try again. It may be blocking one of the .dll files during installation.

  • Installation, patching and free space on system drive

    You can choose the install destination including disk in the installer..



    The extra few GB required on the main drive is only temporary and used during patching, but having some free space on the system drive is recommended anyway for Windows itself.


    A few ways to free up space on C:

    • use WinDirStat to check what is taking the most space
    • disable hibernation
    • reduce the page file size or set it to a fixed size

    At the moment, there is no separate option to force that temporary patching space to another drive, but we will improve it in the future while integrating patching into the launcher more directly.

  • Linux viable?

    Hi, thanks for your questions.


    CoA Launcher and the game client are officially Windows-focused, but we do allow running them through Wine, Lutris, or Proton. At the moment, we do not know any active players using Linux, so we cannot provide a confirmed list of working distributions or a tested setup. If you choose Linux, please treat it as an unsupported/experimental configuration: compatibility may vary, and launcher/game updates can break a previously working setup. We strongly recommend keeping a backup of your game folder and a Windows fallback (for example dual boot) in case troubleshooting is needed.


    If you'll find a way please share it with us ;)

  • [COMPLETED] Technical Maintenance 05.02 13:20 CET

    Dear Arcadians,


    we want to inform you about a scheduled technical maintenance on 05.02 at 13:20 CET.

    This maintenance is essential for maintaining our database infrastructure.

    The maintenance is expected to last a few hours.

    During this time, the game server will be offline, and our websites may be temporarily unavailable.


    We encourage you to connect with the community on our official social channels while you wait.

    It's a great opportunity to discuss the game, share experiences, and chat with fellow players:

    ✅ 16:18 - Maintenance completed - Patch 12.1.0.3100

  • Ich brauche hilfe....

    Hey! Bitte sende uns einen Integrity Report - damit können wir sehen, was genau bei dir schiefläuft.

    Danke! Sobald wir den Report haben, können wir das schnell eingrenzen.

  • "Impossible to reach search version checker"

    Thank you for sharing your solution - this may help other players who encounter the same issue.

    We've forwarded this to our launcher developer to add an option allowing you to configure it to run as administrator permanently from within the launcher settings. Currently it's only possibly by using a shortcut or right clicking. We'll also update the error message to suggest running as administrator when this "Impossible to reach search version checker" error occurs, so future players can resolve this more quickly.

  • Gold VIP changes

    Here's our perspective on the Gold VIP discussion, the economic reasons behind the changes, and what remains unchanged.


    1. What Gold VIP / Permanent Plus actually was

    • You bought features and access (extra DQs, convenience etc.), which you are still receiving - not a lifetime guarantee that specific reward values would never change.
    • Our legals explicitly state that game content, rewards and mechanics can be adjusted when needed for balance and service quality.
    • You have already used these benefits for years. Asking for full money refunds now, after extensive use, would effectively mean getting those advantages for free and would be unfair to other players.

    2. Why the DQ / Prestige change is needed

    • The change targets a small percentage of players doing 80-250 DQs/day, way more than you can do with Prestige, which was flooding the economy with gold and PT and widening the gap between old and new players.
    • Normal play is basically unchanged; the reward structure stays, only extreme farming gets diminishing returns. You can still use the full number of DQs, just with reduced extra gains at the very high end.
    • This is not about increasing our income. It's about stabilizing gold and diamond prices and keeping progression reasonable for new and returning players, instead of letting a tiny group push the whole economy.
    • A "good mood" on the server also depends on a playable economy. If prices are out of control, new players quit long before they reach endgame.

    3. On "fraud", "half product" and refunds

    • Calling this "fraud" or "taking half of what you paid for" is simply wrong. You still receive the core Gold VIP / Permanent Plus features and a clear advantage over non-VIP players.
    • We reserve the right to adjust in-game systems and virtual currencies, and virtual credits have no cash value and are not generally refundable in real money.
    • The offered PNC refund already goes beyond what we are strictly required to do.

    4. Additional option - Restoring the original VIP

    • For players who bought Permanent VIP before Prestige existed and insist on the original deal, we can offer a rollback to the full original Permanent VIP package on a case-by-case basis.
    • Concretely, that means:
      • Original VIP rules for Daily Quests: 1 DQ reset ticket/day/character, handled exactly as it worked back then.
      • All original VIP rewards (vault, bonuses, etc.) restored in their former form.
      • No integrated Prestige and no current "80 daily charges" system tied to Permanent Plus.
    • This option is strictly to mirror what was sold at that time. It is less convenient and, in practice, weaker than the current Prestige-based model, but if someone prefers the original package over today's benefits, we are prepared to honor it in that form.


    Gold VIP / Permanent Plus still gives a significant, long-term advantage over regular accounts.

    We never promised immunity from balance changes, and we will always adjust systems when necessary to protect the game economy and the wider community - even if some players dislike those changes.

    The current rules and refund option stand; no further changes to Gold VIP / Permanent Plus are planned.

  • Terribly slow download

    Welcome to Chronicles of Arcadia! 🎉

    Please try to install the client by sharing your internet via USB cable instead of WiFi.

    If that doesn't work, please send me a DM and I will prepare a .zip file with the client updated to the recent version.

    Please note that you'll need 27GB on the phone and 54GB on PC (zip + decompression).
