Getting Started

Installation and Setup

Download and install a copy of EQ Rain of Fear 2 Client.

• Remember where you install your client to. You will need this path again to complete installation
• There is no legal copy of this we distribute, so you will have to search for it.
• EZServer may have a client download available. Torrents and other sources may also work.
• Once installed, find and right click on the `eqgame.exe` and select ‘Send to’ then ‘Desktop’. This will create a shortcut for accessing Chainbreaker on your desktop

• https://discord.gg/Q9gBJDJDKB
• Download the Chainbreaker Server Files from the chainbreaker-files channel, which you can select from the left-hand column in Discord
• Unzip these Server Files into your EQ installation path (where eqgame.exe is)
• When prompted, select to ‘Replace All files’ in the location with the ones you are extracting.

Recommendations

• To avoid the very loud "bag opening" sound when opening or closing all bags at once, edit the soundassets.txt file, then search for and remove the line with this text:
  • 145^itemclth.WAV
