 IMPORTANT NOTE
 
 This guide is for setting up the client to play. If you already have a client from Sunset you only need the launcher. If you do not have the client then you only need to download the client since it has the launcher already.

If you're a visual learner I've put together a video tutorial to supliment the written inscrutions

Written Instructions

1 - Create a Login Account

This account is used to log into the server in-game. This is not the same as a forum account!

 https://www.vgoemulator.net/index.php?p=accounts

2. Download Client

Download the sunset client (original discs do not work). This download also contains the VGO launcher.

 http://vgoplayers.com/downloads.php?tab=client

2.5 - Download Launcher (Optional)

YOU ONLY NEED THIS IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE CLIENT FROM SUNSET IF NOT THEN SKIP

Download the launcher and extract it to the root folder of Vanguard.

 http://vgoplayers.com/playvg/index.htm 

After you have extracted it verify you have the following three files in the folder.

If you already have the launcher verify it say's version 4.0.0.0 or higher at the bottom left. If it does not, download the launcher from the link above.

3 - Unblock Client .exe

VERY IMPORTANT YOU DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP

Once you have finished downloading the client before you extract be sure to right click on the zip file and select properties. If it has the Unblock Box, check it then hit apply/ok.

4 - Extract Client Files

You can now extract the client. This is the full client, not simply an installer, so chose where you want to put it (you can always move it later if you extract in the wrong place). It is HIGHLY reccommended that you DO NOT put your VGO folder in the Program Files folder. Doing so can cause issues when trying to run the game as those are protected folders.

5 - Client Folder Verification

Your Vanguard folder should now look like this:

6 - Start the Launcher
