1. 打开网页联机入口，选择连接稳定的地区。
2. 登录该地区的活动服账号；新玩家可在页面注册，并下载保存生成的账号密码。网页和启动器使用同一地区的同一账号。
3. 点击“开始游戏”。首次会下载并缓存资源，请保持页面打开；以后进入可复用缓存。无需寻找游戏素材目录。
4. 倒计时时在游戏内选择机壳，用方向键选择、交互键或回车确认。具体操作以游戏提示和自己的键位设置为准。
5. 游戏默认铺满可用区域。点击全屏可切换显示；顶部可调整视野，或打开“贴图与增强”。显示开关即时生效，自定义 PNG 在下次进入游戏时加载。
6. 离开游戏可返回登录。网络断开时按页面提示重新进入。贴图和显示偏好保存在当前浏览器，清除站点数据会清除这些本地设置。

1. Open browser multiplayer and choose a region with a stable connection.
2. Sign in with your activity account for that region. New players can register on the page and download their generated account details. The browser and launcher use the same account in the selected region.
3. Select Play. Keep the page open while the first download finishes; assets cache automatically for later visits. You do not need to find an asset folder.
4. Choose a shell in game during the countdown. Use arrows to select and your interact key or Enter to confirm. Follow the in-game prompts and your own key bindings.
5. The game fills the available area. Toggle fullscreen from the toolbar, adjust your field of view, or open Textures & enhancements. Display switches apply immediately; custom PNGs load the next time you enter.
6. Leave game returns to sign-in. If disconnected, follow the page prompt to reconnect. Textures and display preferences stay in your current browser; clearing site data removes them.

安装与使用

1. 完整解压：把下载的 ZIP 完整解压到自己的文件夹。不要在压缩包里运行，也不要把零散文件覆盖进 SBPE 或游戏目录。
2. 打开启动器：首次使用先运行 SetupLauncher.cmd 检查和安装环境，再运行最外层 Starbreak.EventLauncher.exe。
3. 等待更新：更新期间暂时不能登录。等待下载、校验及重启完成；已有启动器通常通过自动更新获取新版。
4. 选择地区与入口：先选择活动服或正式测试服，再选择美国、日本或北京。优先尝试连接稳定、游戏内延迟较低的地区；正式服暂未开放。
5. 选择启动方式：不需要插件时选“直接启动”。使用 SBPE 时，点击“选择 SBPE 目录”，选择含有 config.ini 和 loader.py 的 SBPE 根目录。
6. 登录并开始：使用所选入口的账号登录；首次使用可点击“注册账号”。确认已选好启动方式，登录后会按选择进入游戏。

启动器文件夹需要保持完整。可以把最外层 EXE 的快捷方式放到桌面；不要只把 EXE 单独移走。

Install and play

1. Extract everything: unpack the complete ZIP into its own folder. Do not run it inside the archive or scatter its files into your SBPE or game folder.
2. Open the launcher: first run SetupLauncher.cmd to check or install the runtime, then open the top-level Starbreak.EventLauncher.exe.
3. Let it update: sign-in is temporarily unavailable during updates. Wait for downloading, verification and restart. Existing launchers normally update automatically.
4. Choose where to play: select Event or Formal Test, then the United States, Japan or Beijing. Try a region with a stable connection and lower in-game latency. Production is not open yet.
5. Choose launch mode: use Direct launch without plugins. For SBPE, select your SBPE root folder containing config.ini and loader.py.
6. Sign in and play: use your account for the selected service, or choose Register for a new account. Pick your launch mode before signing in; the launcher uses that selection.

Keep the launcher folder intact. You may create a desktop shortcut to the top-level EXE; do not move the EXE out on its own.

运行环境：SetupLauncher 怎么用？

完整解压后，先双击 SetupLauncher.cmd。它会检查 x64 .NET 10 Desktop Runtime；已经安装时直接提示就绪，缺少时从微软下载并安装。SetupLauncher.ps1 要与 CMD 保持同目录。

1. 只需要桌面运行时，无需安装完整 SDK。只有 .NET 8、.NET 9、x86 运行时或 ASP.NET Core 运行时，都不能代替本启动器需要的 x64 .NET 10 桌面运行时。
2. 安装前会校验微软安装包的 SHA-512 和发布者签名。出现 Windows 权限提示时，核对发布者为 Microsoft Corporation。安装程序若要求重启，请自行重启后再打开启动器。
3. 下载或安装失败时，保留具体提示。也可以打开微软 .NET 10 下载页，在 .NET Desktop Runtime 下选择 Windows x64，安装后重新运行启动器。
4. 环境已就绪后，双击 Starbreak.EventLauncher.exe。以后正常使用不需要每次运行 SetupLauncher。

运行时安装可能需要 Windows 授权。SetupLauncher 的临时 PowerShell 执行策略仅作用于本次子进程，不保存系统策略，不改变杀毒设置，也不自动执行系统修复。

Runtime setup: using SetupLauncher

After extracting everything, double-click SetupLauncher.cmd. It checks for x64 .NET 10 Desktop Runtime. If it is already installed, setup reports that it is ready. Otherwise it downloads the Microsoft installer. Keep SetupLauncher.ps1 beside the CMD file.

1. You need the Desktop Runtime, not the full SDK. .NET 8, .NET 9, x86 runtimes, or ASP.NET Core alone do not replace the x64 .NET 10 Desktop Runtime required here.
2. Setup checks the installer’s SHA-512 and publisher signature. If Windows asks for permission, verify that the publisher is Microsoft Corporation. Restart manually if the installer requests it, then reopen the launcher.
3. If downloading or installation fails, keep the exact error. You can also use the Microsoft .NET 10 download page: under .NET Desktop Runtime, choose Windows x64, install it and reopen the launcher.
4. Once the runtime is ready, open Starbreak.EventLauncher.exe. Setup is only needed when checking or installing dependencies.

Runtime installation may request Windows permission. The helper’s temporary PowerShell execution policy affects its child process only. It does not save a system policy, change antivirus settings, or run system repairs.

杀毒软件拦截怎么办？

如果启动器或 SBPE 被拦截，请保留报毒提示截图，通过下方 QQ 或 Discord 发给我们。

1. 确认使用的是从本站下载的联机启动器。
2. 打开杀毒软件的“信任区”“白名单”或“排除项”，添加启动器解压后的文件夹。使用 SBPE 启动时，把自己的 SBPE 文件夹也加入信任。
3. 如果文件已被隔离，从隔离区恢复文件；也可以添加白名单后重新解压下载包，再运行 SetupLauncher.cmd 和 Starbreak.EventLauncher.exe。

如果 Windows 提示“已保护你的电脑”，点击“更多信息”，再选择“仍要运行”。找不到设置入口时，把提示截图发到社区，我们协助处理。

Antivirus blocking the launcher?

If your antivirus blocks the launcher or SBPE, save a screenshot of the alert and send it to us on Discord below.

1. Make sure you downloaded the multiplayer launcher from this website.
2. Add the extracted launcher folder to your antivirus trusted list, whitelist or exclusions. If you launch with SBPE, add your own SBPE folder as well.
3. If a file was quarantined, restore it from quarantine. You can also add the folder to the whitelist and extract the download again, then run SetupLauncher.cmd and Starbreak.EventLauncher.exe.

If Windows shows “Windows protected your PC,” choose “More info,” then “Run anyway.” If you cannot find the setting, send us a screenshot on Discord and we will help.
