Installation guide

This installation guide explains step-by-step how to download and install the Kolossus Launcher on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The launcher then allows you to download the latest version of IFSCL to your computer.

Download the application

Go to the home page to download the version of the Kolossus Launcher corresponding to your OS. It should show the correct version by default on the download button; otherwise, click on the arrow on the right of the button to show the different versions of the launcher.

Important:

If your browser opens a new tab saying Domain has been suspended when you try to download the application, feel free to inform us in the #ifscl-cl_en channel on the official Discord server of the game.

Installation of the application

Since the Kolossus Launcher isn't a verified software, it can be considered as a dangerous software by operating systems. Because of that, depending on your system, additional steps will be necessary to install the launcher.

If you want, you can verify yourself that the software doesn't contain any malicious code by scanning it on virustotal.com or internxt.com.

Note:

If an antivirus (Avast, McAfee, Norton…) is installed on your computer, make sure it doesn't block the download, installation or the start-up of the application. If you need some assistance, you can ask for help on the official Discord server of the game.

Windows

Once you download the file, search in your 'Downloads' folder the file named Kolossus_xxx_x_Win.exe.

Open it and click on the Yes button on the 'User Account Control' window to open the setup wizard of the Kolossus Launcher.

Follow the steps of the setup wizard to choose the destination location folder and the permissions of the launcher.

If you don't activate the Bypass admin permissions, Windows will ask for a confirmation every time you want to install or update the game through a 'User Account Control' window. For your comfort, we recommend you turn on this option, even if it's not mandatory.
