Installing the Lyonspyre Client

Lyonspyre runs on its own client, with in-game panels for talents, the leaderboard, your profile and more. The launcher bundles everything. There's no separate game install to hunt down first.

Download

Download Lyonspyre.exe

That one executable is a self-updating launcher. Drop it anywhere, double-click, and the rest happens on its own.

What gets installed

Files land under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Lyonspyre\ (typically C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Lyonspyre\):

Path What's there
client/ The Lyonspyre Client executable + DLLs
uo-data/ Game art and map data
client/Data/Plugins/Lyonspyre/ Per-player settings (cooldown rules, bandage bar position, journal tabs)

Any other game install you already have is left untouched.

First launch

  1. The launcher self-checks for updates and patches.
  2. When you see "Ready to play", click Play.
  3. The game window opens at the login screen.
  4. Enter any username and password - accounts auto-create on first connect.

There's no sign-up form and no email to confirm. Type the username and password you want, connect, and the account is yours from that moment. Pick something you'll remember: there's no self-service password reset, so a forgotten password means asking in Discord #help.

How many accounts you can make

Up to 20 accounts can be created from any one internet connection. That's enough for a household, a shared house or a group of friends on the same connection to all make their own.

Two things worth knowing:

  • Every account ever made from your connection counts toward the limit, including ones you've abandoned. The count doesn't clear itself over time.
  • If you hit the limit, the login screen tells you so. Ask in Discord #help and we'll sort it out.

This is a limit on making accounts. It's nothing to do with how many game windows you can run at once, which is covered below.

Multi-clienting

Two clients per IP/computer. The launcher will happily spawn a second instance; both run with isolated caches and won't step on each other.

Troubleshooting

Lamp posts lose their light with Gradient Circle of Transparency

Update through the launcher. Gradient transparency should not switch off map lamp lighting, even outside the circle. The brightness of the surrounding scene still affects how clearly you can see a lamp's pool of light.

I typed a new username and password and it wouldn't let me in

New accounts are made the moment you connect, so a username nobody has taken should just work. When it doesn't, it's one of these:

  • Someone already has that username. You'll be told the name and password don't match. Pick a different one.
  • The account limit for your connection is full. Counting every account ever made from it, including ones nobody uses any more. The login screen says so. Ask in Discord #help and we'll sort it out.
  • The username has a character we can't store. These are out: < > : " / \ | ? *. A username also can't start or end with a space, or end with a full stop.
  • The password was left blank. It has to be something.

The login screen names which one it is. If none of them fit, ask in Discord #help.

The launcher says 'update failed' or 'sha256 mismatch'

Delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\Lyonspyre\client\ and re-launch. The launcher downloads a fresh copy. This almost always means a partial download was corrupted on a flaky connection.

The game crashes on launch

Crash reports reach us automatically. If you can, tell us what you were doing in Discord #bugs so we can match it to the report.

I see the wrong splash, not the Lyonspyre login art

You're on an old launcher build. Click Update in the launcher, or close and re-launch it.
