Troubleshooting

Launcher won't openRight-click it and choose Run as administrator. If Windows SmartScreen warns you, click More info → Run anyway — the AeternisMU launcher is safe.
Antivirus blocks the clientMU patchers are often false-flagged. Add the game folder to your antivirus / Windows Defender exclusions, then relaunch.
Missing .dll / won't startInstall the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2022 Redistributable (x64) and the latest DirectX — that fixes almost every missing-DLL error.
Stuck while patchingAdd the folder to your antivirus exclusions (or pause it during the first patch) and make sure a firewall isn't blocking the launcher, then retry.
Can't connect / login failsPick the correct realm orb before signing in, confirm the realm reads Live on the site, and check no firewall or VPN is blocking the connection.
Black screen or crashesRun the client as administrator, update your GPU drivers, and switch to windowed mode if fullscreen crashes on launch.
