How should I install Tanados with the launcher?
Use the launcher as the official install path and keep it separate from the game folder.
Use the Tanados launcher for the client download and repair process.
Run the launcher as administrator, keep the launcher in its own folder, then select or create a separate game folder for the client.
Avoid mixing the launcher files directly into the game folder, because that can cause update and permission issues.
Client
Can the launcher install the game into an empty folder?
Yes. Select a new empty folder and the launcher can download the complete client.
Yes. Create a new empty game folder, select it in the launcher, and the launcher will download the complete game client automatically.
This is also useful when you want a clean reinstall without reusing an old broken client folder.
Client
Why does the launcher check files again after an update?
After downloading an update, the launcher verifies the client to catch missing or corrupted files.
After the launcher downloads an update, it may run a full verification pass on your game files.
This can take some time, especially on a large client. Wait for the verification to finish; if a problem is found, the launcher will show the update or repair action.
Client
Why is the launcher stuck on checking for updates?
Checking for updates usually means the launcher is validating files or found something to repair.
If the launcher stays on checking for updates, it is usually verifying the client or preparing a repair after finding a file issue.
Let it finish. On slower drives or very large clients, this can take a while before the update button or normal play button appears.
Client
Why does launcher download speed change during install?
Speed can appear lower when the launcher is processing many small files instead of large patches.
During the start of an install or repair, the launcher may download many small files.
Small-file downloads can make the visible speed jump up and down even when the launcher is still working normally.
Client
What should I do if the client crashes after travel or a bad patch?
A bad or outdated patch file can sometimes be fixed by deleting the affected patch and relaunching the launcher.
A crash after travel or a visual/client problem can sometimes come from a bad or outdated patch file.
Close the game, delete the affected patch file if staff tells you which one is wrong, then run the launcher again so it can redownload and verify it.
If staff specifically mentions patch-Y.mpq, delete that file and relaunch the launcher.
Client
How do I reset broken addon files?
Delete the broken addon files and let the launcher redownload the required addon set.
If addon files are broken or outdated, close the game and delete the affected addon folder or addon files.
Run the launcher again after deleting them. The launcher will restore the required or recommended Tanados addon files.
