Eskhata launcher

The launcher downloads and checks the server files, updates them and starts the game. It does not touch your settings (windows, keys).

Download the High Five client Download launcher

The client is the full Eskhata.rar archive (~4.9 GB) on Google Drive. Unpack it with WinRAR or 7-Zip, then put the launcher into the game folder. If system\L2.exe is missing — the launcher downloads it itself.

EskhataLauncher.exe · Windows 10 / 11 · .NET Framework 4.8

How to install

  1. Download the Lineage II High Five client (the “Download the High Five client” button) and unpack the archive outside “Program Files”, e.g. C:\Games\Lineage2.
  2. Put EskhataLauncher.exe into the game folder (next to the system folder).
  3. Run the launcher — it downloads the server files (the first time takes longer).
  4. At the first start the launcher asks for the language — English or Russian: the game windows and items will be in that language. You can change it later in the launcher “Settings” (the game needs a restart).
  5. Press “Play” and log in with your login and password.

Patch without the launcher

If the launcher cannot download the files for you, get them as one archive. Unpack it into the game folder and replace the files. The archive is updated with every server update.

Download patch (1.2 GB)

The patch goes on top of the full client (button "Download the High Five client"). You still log in only through the launcher: without it the login is closed.

If something is wrong

  • Windows may warn “unknown publisher” — click “More info” → “Run anyway”.
  • Your antivirus complains about game files — add the game folder to exclusions.
  • If system\L2.exe disappeared or is missing after unpacking — run the fresh launcher and press “Verify files”. If the game crashes at login or on character creation — download Eskhata.rar again and unpack it into an empty folder (the launcher checks only the server files, not the whole client).
  • Windows 10 or 11 is required (.NET Framework 4.8 is already built in).
  • NPC dialogs, Alt+B and system messages have their own language on the server: type .lang en or .lang ru in the game chat.
