Windows Launcher (x64) — unsigned alpha
Version
1.0.3
Size
108.1 MB
Recommended for Windows. Unsigned alpha installer; Windows may display a security warning. Installs and updates the game after setup.
Updating an older launcher? Close Hertmire and the launcher first. If the game is hidden but still running, close Hertmire.exe in Task Manager. Install launcher 1.0.3 over the existing launcher. After this one-time upgrade, the launcher downloads future game updates for you.
Game opens briefly or closes? Install the new launcher over the existing one, reproduce the problem, then click Export debug log in the launcher. Save and share Hertmire-debug.txt for support. The file includes bounded, redacted launcher and game diagnostics.
Build and edit the world directly in Unity, with validated matching map exports for the client and server.
Refreshed painted terrain, optimized environment models, animated river fish, a rotating waterwheel and dimensional market decorations bring Dunmere to life.
Move, resize and lock interface windows. Reposition and scale the adventure toolbar, use a smaller hotbar and read more accurate health and mana globe fills.
Adjust chat background opacity, use updated Enter and Escape controls, browse the minimap with directional controls and use fullscreen or accelerating camera-zoom shortcuts. Optional FPS and ping displays are available.
Corrected world collision and starter-quest guidance, preserved legacy test-area collision, restored both depot entrances and retained existing character and quest progress. Gameplay signboards retain their upgraded artwork in packaged clients.
Production connections, application identity and existing secure session storage are preserved. Development services and preferences are isolated; server workers verify the tested PHP 8.4/8.5 runtime and testing refuses play databases.
Developer accounts can use /command or /help for clearer syntax, limits and examples. Authorization, auditing and retry protections remain enforced.
Thanks to contributor Hertmire/Rydathrian for the world-authoring, environment and desktop HUD improvements.
Existing progress, equipment, character-wide depot contents, temple binding and authorized test-island access are preserved. Creature targeting and pursuit remain set to 30 tiles. Windows Launcher 1.0.3 is unchanged. Difficulty depends on training, equipment and supplies; level guidance is not an entry restriction.
Alpha note The Windows Launcher is an unsigned alpha and may trigger a Windows security warning. macOS uses ad-hoc signing without Developer ID notarization. Named veterans use existing creature behavior; this release does not add special boss AI.
System requirements — alpha targets
