2. QHow do I start playing? Is it free? Ouvrir

   Create an account on the official website dkgenesis.com, download the client, unzip it and run the updater (Updater.exe). The game is free to play. Market Points (used in the item market) are optional and can be bought on the official website (Recharge).

3. QI can't open the official website from Korea. Ouvrir

   Some networks in Korea cannot reach dkgenesis.com directly. Using a VPN usually solves it. Use a VPN you trust; browser VPN extensions are convenient but their safety is not guaranteed.

4. Q"Game version is too low" or "Update failed" when I log in. Ouvrir

   • The server may be restarting or under maintenance. Wait a while and try again, and check the notices.
   • Download the latest client from the official website and unzip it to a new folder.
   • Antivirus programs (including Windows Defender) sometimes flag the updater by mistake and delete it. Temporarily turn off real-time protection or add an exception, then unzip the client again.
   • On Windows 7 or 8.1, install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 or newer, update your network drivers and restart the PC.

7. QHas the server ever been reset (wiped)? Ouvrir

15. QThe game lags. What can I do? Ouvrir

    • Client lag (the screen freezes when many players or skills are on screen): close other programs that use a lot of memory and keep your graphics drivers updated.
    • Network lag: the server is far from Asia, so packets travel through many routers. A connection or VPN with a good international route can help.
