I'm a stupid noob, but i need help

[monkeyller]

I downloaded, installed and registered. How can i play now?
I tried copying server's link from this webpage and executing "client", but it doesn't work. Is it just that the server is full/offline? Or am i doing the wrong thing?

Welcome! I'm happy we have a thoughtful new player. You are making the process WAY too complicated. Don't treat it like Minecraft, as you don't need to copy the server name. Just click a server on the list and it runs. No need to click the client.

Did you download the game fromt this website? If not, then please try hovering your mouse over "HOW TO PLAY" in the upper left corner of this page, and click "DOWNLOAD & INSTALL".

But if you rather did get the game from here, then for the first try reinstalling.
If the problem persists, make sure you're clicking on the links in the server list on the front page of this site.
And if the problem keeps persisting, then try this:
1. Go into regedit
2. Go into the HKEY_CLASS_ROOT directory
3. Search for a subdirectory named "aos"
4. If it does exist, then check if the value of HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\aos\shell\open\(default) is

Code: Select all

"C:\Ace of Spades\client.exe" "%1"

; else continue:
5. Create a directory called "aos"
6. Create a directory inside aos called "DefaultIcon"
7. Create a default key with the data "client.exe,1"
8. Now create a directory inside aos called "shell"
9. Inside shell create a directory called "open"
10. Inside open make a default key with the data

Code: Select all

"C:\Ace of Spades\client.exe" "%1"

(You should replace the first value with the directory you have AoS installed.

PS: If you really HAVE to open it from the command prompt, the first parameter of client.exe should be a hyphen followed by aos:// followed by the server id.

Thank you Lemon! I didn't even try that.
Thank you too HoboHob.
