01 / FIRST CONNECTION

Start playing
the right way

Prepare your PC, install the client, enter the game, complete quests, and manage your inventory independently.

Page goal

After completing these steps, you should be able to enter the game, control your character, know which items to keep, and follow the main quests without needing another player to lead you.

Before installing the game

Download the Client only from the Download page. Confirm that the file has finished downloading before extracting it, and keep enough free space for the game and future patches.

CheckWhat to doIf it fails
Game filesExtract the files to a folder without unusual characters, such as C:\Games\EvolutionMasters.Move it out of Desktop/OneDrive and try again.
File-write permissionRun the Launcher as administrator when a patch cannot be applied.Check Windows Security and your antivirus.
InternetUse a stable network and do not stop the Launcher while it is patching.Try disabling your VPN/proxy and restarting the router.

First-time login steps

  1. Create an account

    Use an Account ID that follows the format on the Register page. Create a new password that you do not reuse on other sites, and keep the registration email for contacting the team.

  2. Download and extract

    Download from Google Drive and extract the complete set into one folder. Do not run the game directly from the ZIP file.

  3. Open the Launcher

    Wait for the patch check to finish. If a firewall window appears, allow only the Client files that you installed yourself.

  4. Log in and create a Linker

    Choose your starting character and Companion. Read each one’s skills before confirming, because your starter shapes the early-game experience.

  5. Take the main quests

    Prioritize quests marked as main quests. They commonly unlock maps, NPCs, and systems needed to progress.

Useful controls

W A S DMove your character
Right-clickRotate the camera/open player options
EnterOpen chat
EscOpen settings and close windows
HOpen Help when supported by the Client
MOpen the map when supported by the Client

The H and M keys may differ by Client or server. If they do not work, open the in-game Settings/Help menu to check the actual controls for your version.

First-hour checklist

  • Follow main quests until they teach the Companion and inventory systems.
  • Keep medicines, Data, Digi-Eggs, and items labeled Quest/Material for now.
  • Try normal attacks and skills to see HP, DS, and cooldown behavior.
  • Join a party when you meet players near your level, and state the goal before starting.
  • Save your Account ID and the Discord contact separately from your password.

If you cannot enter the game

LOGIN FAILED

Cannot log in

Confirm that you are using your Account ID, not your email. Check Caps Lock and type the password again. Never send your password to staff or another player.

PATCH ERROR

Patch failed

Close the game, run the Launcher as administrator, check free space, and add the game folder to your antivirus exceptions. If it still fails, save a screenshot of the error for Discord.

NO CONNECTION

Disconnected or cannot find the server

Disable your VPN/proxy, check the system clock, and try another network. If several players have the issue at once, check maintenance announcements first.
