apologies if this is simple and I'm missing something.
- do I extract the parts one by one until all parts are done, or is there a way to extract them all?
doing one by one it constantly asks me to replace or ignore files, do i replace?

Just extract part1 file, other parts auto extracted. For dlcs extract files and move the files to main game folder.

HELLO,

With this new update, the optimisation issue has been largely resolved, and the game has seen a significant improvement with the new DLC. Have you installed the update yet? It was released in early 2026, so it should take about 2–2.5 months. If you could give me a definite answer, I’ll download it accordingly; otherwise, I don’t want to waste my time :(

bro i can not get part 3 to download no matter what i try. tried every source. it doesnt even exist on vikingfile. ive used every browser, ive tried jdownloader. nothing will download that bitch.

Edit: Nevermind, got it.

Hello everyone, I would like to install mods on the game, but the problem is that when I try to download them through the in-game mod store, it doesn’t work. So I wanted to install my mods manually, but I can’t find the correct folder path to do it. Would anyone be able to help me with this? Thank you very much.

I’m posting my mod folder here. The mods use the CurseForge API, so I’m not sure if they’ll work with a cracked version. I came across a program called “TEK Injector” that both unlocks premium mods and allows you to set up a non-dedicated server. I don’t know if it’s safe, the final decision is up to you.

Hello, would it be possible to have a dedicated server for this version? Thank you.

Game have a full dlc. The DLCs you mentioned are already included in the game. There’s no need for an additional DLC file.

Then you should remove the DLC from your download area since it is all in the game dl folder (according to your reply post).

I own the game & tried to dl here since it showed separate downloads for DLC (allowing people to use those with cream installer or some other unlocker to play DLC). Currently, on the 1st page you have the game download & an incomplete/outdated list of DLC files to download separately.

The post I made before listed all missing DLC from that area & mentions some of the DLC listed needed an update. Your response was to say just download the main file since its all in there but if that is the case why leave outdated/broken links up intentionally instead of simply posting that message on main page & removing the separate DLC downloads?

Alternatively, simply replace the DLC download list with 1 DL which has your DLC folder that includes them all (so people who have the game already can use that with cream api/installer to unlock the dlc without needing to dl the whole game).
