Installing on Windows

GameVault 2 ships a *-setup.exe installer for Windows 10 and 11. It is in public beta: crashes and missing features are expected, see the overview for the status. Download it from the download page or from GitHub Releases.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11.
• Free disk space for the download and installation folders.

Installation

1. Run the *-setup.exe installer.
2. If SmartScreen blocks the start, choose More info → Run anyway. The binary is not code-signed.
3. Start GameVault from the Start menu.

First start

1. Add your server in the login window. See Connect to a server for sign-in, sign-up and SSO.
2. Open Settings → Downloads and pick a download and an installation folder. GameVault creates the per-game structure inside them.
3. Download a game from the library.

Verify

The library shows your server's games after login, and a downloaded game appears in the downloads tab with a progress bar. If the library stays empty, work through Troubleshooting.

A fresh install shows the server games and an empty installed section
