Installing & Patching

Failed patch / "Failed to get patch"

1. Close the patcher and reopen it — most patch errors are transient.
2. If it keeps failing, the patch server may be briefly busy; wait a little and retry.
3. Run the patcher as Administrator and ensure your AV isn't blocking it.
4. Still failing? Report it in Discord (opens in a new tab).

Slow patching

1. Download the latest installer from lxudro.net/downloads (opens in a new tab) into a new folder.
2. Copy/merge everything from that new folder into your existing LxudRO folder, overwriting when prompted.
3. Add the folder to your anti-virus exceptions (live scanning throttles patch writes).

Update failed / repacking failed

1. Run the patcher as Administrator.
2. Add LxudRO to anti-virus exceptions and make sure you have free disk space.
3. Re-run the patcher; if it still fails, reinstall with the Full Installer.

Full Installer error / can't run or delete the installer

1. Run as Administrator.
2. Right-click the installer → Properties → tick Unblock (Windows blocks files downloaded from the web) → Apply.
3. Temporarily disable real-time AV protection during install, then re-enable it (and add an exception).

Download damaged or timed out

1. Re-download the installer — the file was corrupted or the connection dropped mid-download.
2. Use a stable/wired connection and pause other large downloads.
3. Try a different mirror if one is offered on the downloads page (opens in a new tab).

Won't start after a successful patch

1. Run the patcher once more as Administrator to confirm all files are present.
2. Open GameSettings.exe and set a valid resolution (start at 1024×768).
3. Verify your AV didn't quarantine the executable or Gepard files.

Installing on Windows Vista / very old systems

1. Run both the installer and patcher as Administrator.
2. Right-click → Properties → Compatibility → run in compatibility mode for an earlier Windows.
3. Disable UAC via MSCONFIG → Tools → Disable UAC if patching is blocked (see Crashing).
