Automatically downloads required client and data patches, updates for new patches automatically.

Manual Install

1. Download any 1.12.1 Client.
   1. Elysium Client Mirror - Direct Google Drive Link
2. Extract to any unrestricted folder (Recommend avoiding system directory as it can be clunky with read/write for UI and macro settings on Win10/11)
3. Download patch-3.mpq from Vanilla+ Community Site. - [or direct link here]
   1. Place patch-3.mpq into the 'Data' subfolder.
4. Edit the 'realmlist.wtf' file with any notepad/text editor and edit whatever is there [should be "set realmlist logon.elysium-project.org" if using above mirror]
   1. Change contents to "set realmlist logon.vanillaplus.org"
5. Register account online at Vanilla+ Community Site. Good to go!

[Note for manual install, you will need to manually replace patch-3.mpq whenever there is a discord announcement or your game/UI will likely break in various ways or display incorrect values until properly updated.]
