Create a master account

On the master account page: e-mail and a password of its own, confirmed by a letter. Then create a game account there (game login and game password; up to 5 accounts per master account). Old players with a confirmed e-mail sign in there with the e-mail and the current game password. Registration is open now; the game opens on November 20.

Download the launcher

For Windows 10/11. Download the installer from this website and prepare the client before opening. Windows may show a SmartScreen warning: the launcher has no paid signature yet and it is not a virus — what to press.

Prepare the client

Choose a separate folder with about 37 GB free. Launcher 0.8.1 downloads the VELA client bundle and updates automatically. Russian is selected by default; English is available in the launcher. After a connection interruption, choose Resume or Retry.

System requirements

  • Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. The launcher runs on Windows only.
  • About 37 GB of free space for the client plus ~100 MB for the launcher. An SSD is better: faster downloads and loading.
  • Internet. The first download is about 37 GB and resumes after a break. Later the launcher fetches only the changed files.
  • PC. The client is standard Lineage II Essence and VELA has no extra minimum: a PC that runs that game will do. Several windows need more memory.
  • An e-mail address to confirm the account. Telegram is optional.

SmartScreen and antivirus: why the warning and what to press

The launcher has no paid code-signing certificate yet, and Windows does not know a new file. So a blue window “Windows protected your PC” appears. It does not mean there is a virus inside: Windows greets every unsigned installer this way.

  1. In the warning window press “More info”.
  2. Press “Run anyway”.
  3. If Chrome or Edge say the file “is not commonly downloaded”, choose “Keep” (in the “⋯” menu of the download).

Antivirus. The launcher reads the list of running programs - that is how the anti-cheat works - and can listen for the voice-chat key. Such behaviour is sometimes flagged as suspicious. Do not switch your antivirus off entirely: add the launcher and game folders to its exclusions and press Retry in the launcher. Download the installer only from vela-multi.com.

Still stuck? Ask in the players’ Telegram chat and we will help.

Bring a friend

Invite a friend and you both get rewards. Enter the friend code at sign-up (a link like master.html?register&ref=CODE fills it in) and check your own code and progress in the game with .ref. Rewards come for the friend’s milestones: levels 40 and 76, the first and the tenth rebirth; they are paid after 10 hours of the friend’s active play.

First login

Follow your race tutorial and open the Vela window with the button, .menu or the Herald near the town gatekeeper: upcoming events and tasks of the day are there. The .path command shows your milestone; collect its gift in the Received Items window (Alt+X).

Login help

Download interrupted

Check your connection and free space, then retry. Use Verify files to check an existing installation.

Server unavailable

Open beta begins on November 20, 2026, with launch on November 27, 2026. Technical status describes the services, not public game availability. After opening, wait for restarts to finish; stale status does not confirm availability.

Forgotten password or login failure

A forgotten game password is changed on the master account page (the button next to the game account). If that does not help, visit support. Provide your character name, time and error text; do not send passwords or login codes.

Nothing helped

Ask in the players’ chat: players and the staff answer there. Attach a screenshot of the launcher error. For private matters use support.
