How to Download and Install — Step by Step
Go to rappelztournament.com and click Register. Fill in your username, email and password. Takes under 30 seconds. No payment information required — the game is completely free.
After registering, find the Download section on the site. The client is approximately 3.8 GB. Download it directly to your desktop or a folder you can easily find. Do not move the files mid-download.
Before extracting, add the game folder to your Windows Defender and any third-party antivirus exclusion list. The game client is safe but antivirus software sometimes flags private server launchers as false positives. Skipping this step is the most common cause of login freezes and crashes.
Extract the downloaded archive to a folder of your choice (not Program Files — use C:\Games\Rappelz or similar). Run the installer if provided, or launch the patcher directly from the extracted folder.
Launch the Rappelz Tournament patcher. It will download the latest update files automatically. Let it complete fully before attempting to log in. The update size varies — typically under 500 MB for a fresh install.
Click Play from the patcher, enter your username and password, create your first character and select your race. You are now in-game. The tutorial quest chain begins automatically — follow it to learn the basics and earn your starter gear.
Common Installation Problems
Fix: Add the entire Rappelz folder to Windows Defender exclusions. Go to Windows Security → Virus and threat protection → Exclusions → Add a folder. Also disable any third-party antivirus temporarily during the first launch.
Fix: Delete the downloaded files and re-download. Ensure you have enough free disk space before starting. Do not extract to a network drive or USB — install to a local drive only.
Fix: Check your firewall settings and allow the Rappelz executable through. If using a VPN, try disabling it. Check the Discord server for any announced maintenance windows before assuming it’s an installation issue.
Fix: Right-click the game executable → Properties → Compatibility → check “Run as administrator” and “Disable fullscreen optimisations”. Update your graphics drivers to the latest version.
