Where to download the Windows client
Open arknights.global and find the Download Win Client button. The August 13 FAQ lists this download route. Before installation, select a folder on your disk with sufficient free space and write down its location: this will make it easier to return to the installed client. This instruction applies to the Yostar global service. Do not consider this a way to transfer your Chinese service account to an international server; for another regional client, you need to read its own official help documentation.
What are the requirements in the FAQ?
Minimum: Windows 10 x64, Intel Core i3-6100 or equivalent, 8 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 750 Ti or equivalent, DirectX 11.1 and 30 GB of free space. Recommendations: Windows 11 x64, Core i5-8400 or equivalent, 8 GB RAM or more, GTX 1060 or equivalent, DirectX 11.1 or later and at least 30 GB. Write down your complete PC configuration next to these lines. The FAQ does not make a universal FPS promise for every resolution; check the smoothness on your own device.
How to login to the same profile
The client supports Yostar account, linked Google, Apple and Facebook, as well as guest login. According to the official information, the progress and contents of one account are synchronized between PC, Android and iOS, except for guest accounts. First, check how you log in on your phone, then use the same linked profile on your computer. After starting, compare the name, squad and resources before starting a new game. The synchronization entry refers to one account, and not to an arbitrary combination of different profiles.
If the client does not start
In Arknights PC Launcher, open Settings and select Game Repair. If the error persists, please contact the Customer Support Center in the launcher. Prepare the code or full text of the error and explain at what stage it occurs: opening the launcher, logging in or loading the game. After recovery, repeat the same launch route to see if the result has changed. Do not change several system parameters at the same time: otherwise it will be difficult to determine which action helped. For account problems, please indicate the login method separately, without publishing the password.
