Installing

Installation

Starting up bno_starter.exe pops up the terms and conditions window. Press Install. The installer will then prompt you to select a folder to put the launcher files in.

After the launcher pops up, press the orange Install button. This will bring up the actual game installer. You'll once again be prompted with the licensing terms and conditions.

You'll then be prompted to select a folder to install the game to. After you've done that, all you need to do is patch the game in the launcher.

Patching

When you start the BNOstarter.exe, the Launcher will look like this.

If you are installing the game for the first time, use the orange Game Start button, else use the grey File Check button to patch.

Note: Only use the orange button to patch and launch the game if you have set your computer clock to Japan Time (UTC +9). Not doing so may result in the launcher going into an infinite patch loop where it will always detect a patch and try to apply it.

Note that you do not need your VPN to patch.

The Launcher will proceed to check your files and if an update is available, the following dialog box will pop up. Hit OK to begin patching.

When the patch process is complete, the following dialog box will pop up to confirm.

Launching

Before launching the game, create a shortcut to GundamOnline.exe and add ./data to the Target.

Using this shortcut will allow you to launch the game without starting up the Launcher or setting your clock to Japan Time.
