Ace Rivals Sign up

Download and install

One setup file for Windows 10 or 11. You log in with the account you create on this site; if you don't have one yet, create it first.

  1. Download the setup

    • Version: Closed beta
    • Size: 0,6 MB (oyun ~3 GB, kurulumda iner)
    • File: AceRivals_Kurulum.exe
    Downloaddirect download Tam paket · 3,15 GBalternative download

    SHA-256 (optional check): BABEB9D9C353141AFBEC8D8529A00F3CEFD1B899EBA378BDD58687BF05DEEF0B PowerShell: Get-FileHash .\AceRivals_Kurulum.exe

  2. Run the setup

    Run AceRivals_Kurulum.exe and choose the install folder. The launcher then downloads the game itself (about 3 GB download, 5.3 GB on disk) and later updates and repairs it. No admin rights needed.

    The full package (AceRivals_Setup_….exe, 3.15 GB) carries everything in one file and installs without internet, to C:\Games\Ace Rivals by default.

    Windows may show "Windows protected your PC" (SmartScreen) because the files are not code-signed. Click More info, then Run anyway.

    If DirectX 9 components are missing, the full package offers to install them. Only that step asks for admin rights.

  3. Start the game

    Open Ace Rivals from the desktop or the Start menu. The launcher checks for updates first, then you log in with your account from this site. Allow the game in Windows Firewall if asked.

Troubleshooting

The download stopped halfway

Resume it from your browser's downloads list; it continues where it stopped. If it keeps failing, use the mirror link. If setup later says the file is damaged, download it again.

Nothing happens, or the launcher closes immediately

Check that your antivirus did not quarantine Engine.exe or Updater.exe in the game folder (restore them, add the folder as an exception), then start the Ace Rivals shortcut again. If it still closes, right-click the shortcut and choose Run as administrator.

"d3dx9_43.dll is missing" or other DirectX errors

Run the setup again and tick Install DirectX 9 components, or install Microsoft's DirectX End-User Runtime (June 2010). Windows 10 and 11 ship DirectX 12 but not the old DirectX 9 helper libraries.

"MSVCP… .dll" or "VCRUNTIME… .dll" is missing

Install Microsoft's Visual C++ Redistributable (x86) from microsoft.com, then restart the PC.

Login fails or the game can't connect

Check the server status first. Account names contain only letters and digits. Allow the game through Windows Firewall when asked.

Black screen, flickering or low FPS

Update your graphics driver, close overlays (Discord, Steam, recording tools) and try Window Mode in the launcher. On a laptop, run the game on the dedicated GPU.
