How To Download And Unzip Client

Okay, I've noticed that some people have been having trouble downloading/unzipping the client. Here's a tutorial to help you.


Downloading The Client:

Step 1.

First, go here.

You should see something like this:

Copy and paste one of the links surrounded by the red boxes into your address bar.

Step 2.
Now, you should be brought to a page with this on it:


Click the "Download (27.98mb)" button.

Something like this might appear, depending on your web browser settings:


If so, choose which folder you want to save the file in, click "save" and wait for the file to finish downloading.

If not, just let the file download (you should see a window with the progress of the download).

Step 3.

Now, if you chose a location for the client file to be saved into, locate that.

If not, follow these steps:

Open My Documents.
Enter the (C:) Drive.
Go into Users>Nameofcomputer>Downloads and you should find the file Peakscape Client.7zip.

You've now finished downloading the PeakScape file, and you just need to extract it.

Extracting/Unzipping PeakScape:

For the following, you will need something like winrar (download here) or 7zip (download here) if you already have one of the two, or some other program for extracting/unzipping archived files, you'll be okay.

Step 1.

Now that you've located the Peakscape Client.7zip file, and have a program to extract it, right click the file.

7zip:
If you've downloaded 7zip, you should see something like this:

Hover over "7zip", and click "Extract files..."

That should bring up a window that looks like this:

Click okay.

Wait for the folder to extract (this could take a while if you have a bad computer).

Once it's extracted, open the new folder called "PeakScape Client" (this is not the 7zip file, but the folder).

Winrar:
If you've downloaded winrar, you should see this:

Click "Extract Files..."

It should bring up this window:

Leave all the settings as they are, and click "Ok".

Wait for the folder to extract (this could take a while if you have a bad computer).

Once it's extracted, open the new folder called "PeakScape Client" (this is not the 7zip file, but the folder).

How To Play:
Once you've downloaded, extracted, and opened the folder, keep opening the folders labelled things along the lines of "PeakScape" till you reach something like this:

Now, open "1PlayHere.bat" (highlighted in red in above picture).

Don't worry if a black cmd box opens and shuts automatically, it's supposed to do that, it's a sign that the java file is on it's way.

Now, after a bit, something like this should appear:

Wait for it to finish loading.

If you don't have an account, type any username and password into the box to create one (it will not allow you to use a username that is already taken).

If you do have an account, enter your account details, and start playing!
