gameforge live?

helping friend install rom, couldn't find a client download link other than the 'gameforge live'

I do NOT like downloaders/installers etc, where can I get the plain old client download and stay away from the garbage?

Talk about luck, was just going to download the client again while I rebuilt my computer, nice time to find this!

The Depositfiles or Frogster Online file links are my recommendations - Filefactory is fast if you have a paid account there, but sometimes the Frogster.de links don't work for people outside Europe.

Remember that these files will install with European Region settings so you'll have to change the "Region/Language" after installation.

I used it to install rom on my friends computer, I did not care for it at all.
Didn't have the time to really explore his computer, but it seems that gameforge live gets rid of all the temp files, so if you decide to reinstall you're forced to download everything again.
Not to mention that unless you edit it, the shortcut starts the game from inside gameforge live.

Another way to download the game with out the game forge download.... go to the ... I found this worked for me after about 4 days of having to re set my screen size and UI each time I logged out.... go to the (German)..correction Dutch.. site and they have a "mirrors" link for the game next to the download button... I'm not supporting any one option... but .. OnRPG has a 8.5GB zip file that took me an 1/8th of the time to download from any of the other links. Also... it patches it self after the install... no need for extra downloads...and ...as it installs...it will ask for your prefered language. So.... if you are looking for a download of the 5.0.0 version that will run with out the game forge interface....until it gets changed... then that is another option too

Manual Downloads for the 5.0.5 RoM Client requires less patching & doesn't have the GameforgeLive wrapper on it either.

In order to download ROM you now have to use the BETA gameforge live launcher. SW is still in beta and now we get another program (on top of overwolf, the rom hub) to bog the computer down.... good going gameforge, way to show us you care....

these are my favorite Quotes from http://gfl.gameforge.com/

"With it, all of your games will be just a click away" really I didn't realize the desk top .exe was more than a click away.
"Current patches and updates will be automatically downloaded" they were never manual......
"The games can also be launched from Gameforge Live" so now my game experience is more complicated
"Gameforge Live is currently only available for Windows" good luck Mac and Linux users

[h=3]"Do I have to install Gameforge Live to be able to play one of Gameforge's games?"[/h]"It makes the download, the installation and the patching of the game much easier. Even launching the game afterwards can be done from Gameforge Live. You will only have to install it once to do all this." ... you still haven't answered the question.... (by the way this means no, you can't play it without gameforge live.)

In regards to system performance
no negative effects... generally "makes it possible for you to start playing straight away." ... wow... after install I can play the game... I don't remember this being an issue before.....

Just point the shortcut to the client instead of gameforge live and you'll be good.

I used the Frogster Online.com download link and I noticed that there are quite a few corrupted files while I was installing it. Any ideas or help?

Well, it means deleting the other file set, but redownload using one of the other links, such as Depositfiles. I've tested all but the FileFactory listings and have had no issues with corrupted files. (At the time, FileFactory had limited the size of files downloaded from them unless you had a paid Premium membership. That changed a few months ago, but I haven't tried downloading the installation files from them.)

Also, can you do me a big favor? Please change your signature--the image size is too large. Thanks!
