Play
Everything you need to get into the game: about 15 minutes of setup, then the launcher does the rest.
Requirements
- A Windows PC. The launcher and the game client are for Windows.
- About 25 GB of free disk space. The first run downloads about 20 GB.
- An internet connection.
- A Heritage account (free, created on this site).
Install in 4 steps
Download and extract
Extract the zip into an empty folder with about 25 GB free. Avoid Program Files.
Open the launcher
Open Heritage Launcher.exe. Do not rename it: the launcher updates itself and needs its original name.
Wait for the first download
The first run downloads the game (about 20 GB). After that it only downloads what changed.
Log in
Use the account you created on the site and press Play.
Windows and antivirus warnings
Windows may show "Windows protected your PC" when you open the launcher. This happens because the launcher does not have a paid digital signature yet. Click "More info" and then "Run anyway".
If your antivirus deletes files from the game folder, add the folder to its exclusions list and run the launcher again so it downloads them again.
Create your account
Register on the site with a username (4 to 13 letters or digits), a password (8 characters or more) and an email. You use the same account in the launcher and in game.
Turn on chat translation
In game, type one of these commands in the chat to choose the language you want to read:
@lang en- English@lang pt- Português@lang es- Español
Translated lines show the language tag, for example [en] Name: text, [Party en], [Guild en] or [Whisper en]. It is automatic translation: it can get slang and game terms wrong.
Common problems
Windows says it protected my PC
Click "More info" and then "Run anyway". The launcher has no paid signature yet.
Files disappear from the game folder
Your antivirus is deleting them. Add the game folder to the antivirus exclusions and open the launcher again.
The launcher does not download the game
Check that the folder has about 25 GB free and that you extracted the whole zip, with the launcher.ini file next to the launcher. Do not rename the launcher.
The download stopped or failed
Close the launcher and open it again. It checks the files and downloads what is missing or changed.
I cannot log in
Use the username and password of the account created on this site. Check that the server shows Online on the home page. If you forgot your password, ask the staff on Discord: the site has no password reset yet.
The chat is not translated
Type @lang en, @lang pt or @lang es in game chat. Chat is translated into the language you choose.
