GAME CLIENT VERSION

In order to play Return of Reckoning you will need a copy of the game client patched to 1.4.8 as shown below.
This is the last official Warhammer Online game client version.

If you have already have the game client installed and patched up to 1.4.8, you may skip to step 6. However, you will need our patcher (extract it in the main folder, this is the program you will use to start the game).

Step 4

DOWNLOADING THE GAME CLIENT

You can direct download the client on MEGA ( password : warhammer) or use the torrent magnet

For more download options, please check this topic on the forum.

Torrent download

Step 5

GAME CLIENT SETUP

After the torrent has finished downloading, be sure to stop the torrent and move the downloaded files OUT of your download location. Copy the entire folder if you wish to support the torrent and leave it running.

After you have moved the folder, right click the WAR folder, open Properties, and uncheck Read-Only. Apply to all files.
Some users may need to follow this process if they do not have full access. Document folders marked read only

Step 6

INSTALLING DIRECTX RUNTIMES

DirectX 9.0c is required for Warhammer to run correctly. This step is important for players running Windows 10 as it is not installed by default, although some older games may have it installed already.
Download DirectX 9.0c from the Microsoft website here: DirectX End-User Runtimes, and install it.
