Basic Setup
Anamnesis is built using .NET 6.0.X. As such, you will need to install the x64 (64 bit) 6.0.6 (or greater) Desktop Runtime. A link to this is included in the release archive, but can be downloaded from Microsoft's website directly:
Anamnesis will only run on 64-bit Windows 10 or newer. There are no plans to support older versions of Windows, or other operating systems (such as MacOS or Linux) by the development team at this time- this includes emulated versions of Windows on other operating systems, such as WINE. Given the project is open source, however, the opportunity for those who use these systems exists to add support as needed, and the development team actively encourages people taking this on board.
The tool is written to fully support the Global client of the game (JP/NA/EU/OC), with rudimentary support for the Chinese (CN) and Korean (KR) clients.
The latest release of Anamnesis can always be found on the Releases page. On occasion, the release may be titled release.zip; this is still a valid build, and is an unfortunate error with Github Actions.
Please ensure you are always using the latest version of Anamnesis. The tool will look for updates on launch and provide a prompt to update if a newer version is available on Github.
❗️ Note: Make sure you don't grab the Source Code archive, as this is intended for developers only.
Installing Anamnesis is as simple as downloading the tool from the Releases page, extracting it to your location of choice, logging into the game, and running the tool.
❗️ Note: Make sure you've extracted everything from the archive, including the folders. These contain loose files including localisation (translations) that are necessary for the tool to run!
Anamnesis must be run as an Administrator to interact with the game, and also must be added to your Antivirus and Firewall program's whitelist. There are many Antivirus tools available, so a selection of the most popular ones have been listed below, along with links to their respective documentation.
Depending on your UAC settings, you will be asked to run the tool as an Administrator whenever you run it. You can circumvent this by having the tool run as an Administrator permanently by following these steps:
- Right-click on Anamnesis.exe and select
Propertiesin the menu. - Go to the
Compatibilitytab. - Check the
Run this program as an administratorbox. - Click
Apply. - Click
OK.
Many Antivirus programs take issue with any program that modifies the memory of another program, which is necessary for Anamnesis to do in order to interact with the game. If you do not see your Antivirus program listed here, please speak to us on Discord.
❗️ Note: Windows Defender has shown to have very few issues with Anamnesis, and it, along with practising good browsing and downloading habits, is recommended by the developers.
When you first launch the tool, the Settings panel will be opened automatically, and you will be asked to select your language of choice. This is also a good opportunity to familiarise yourself with the Settings panel, and also change settings to your liking, such as the window theme and colour, and your default directories.
❗️ Note: Currently, the only languages supported include English, French, German, Spanish, Korean, and Chinese. Please be aware, however, that Korean and Chinese localisation is included for the International client only, as full support for the Korean and Chinese clients has not yet been implemented- some functionality exists, but given the developers do not have access to these clients, they cannot confirm full compatibility at this time.
