Get the launcher. It downloads the game, keeps it up to date and starts it when you log in.
The launcher isn't ready to download yet. Check back soon.
The installer is a small file. The launcher fetches the game itself, about 700 MB, the first time you log in, into a folder you choose.

Install the Launcher
Install the launcher. Run the file you downloaded and choose where the launcher goes. Windows may ask whether to run it: choose "More info", then "Run anyway". The launcher is then in your Start menu.

Play
Choose where the game goes, and play. The launcher fetches the game there and starts it. After that, it fetches only what has changed.

Is It Safe?
Every file the launcher fetches is checked against a list we sign before it's used, and a file that doesn't match is thrown away. Your password goes only to our login service, over an encrypted connection, and never to the game.
