Latest revision as of 02:45, 2 December 2024

Warzone can be played for free on the website, https://www.warzone.com, or via the iOS or Android app. However, it's also available as a downloadable native app for Windows, Mac, and Linux. This is called the standalone client. It is only available for members. Links to download are below.

Download Links

Installation Instructions

Windows

Click the Windows download link above.
Once it finishes downloading, open it from your browser's Downloads.
Click "Extract all".
Give it a folder to extract to, such as to your Desktop.
Go to the folder you extracted it to and double-click on Warzone.

Linux

Same steps as Windows, except click on the Linux download link instead of a Windows download link.

Mac

Click the Mac download link above.
Once it finishes downloading, open it from your browser's Downloads. (By default it's in "Downloads" folder which is bookmarked in Finder in the left bar)
Double-click on downloaded archive (zip) file.
The app should now be in the same folder. Click on it and open menu (on trackpad you just need to press with 2 fingers)
From the menu choose "Open" option.
A popup like this should appear:
“Warzone” is from an unidentified developer. Are you sure you want to open it?
By choosing "open" option from menu you should see extra "open" button on the popup.
If you get a message that says the file is "damaged and can't be opened", this is Apple's way of indicating that the file is quarantined. Open a terminal and run the command "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/Warzone.app" See https://www.howtogeek.com/803598/app-is-damaged-and-cant-be-opened/ for more details.

Optional: If you wish to create a desktop shortcut you can use this icon

-The '''standalone client''' is a version of WarLight that contains the single-player portion of the game packaged as its own Flash file.  It's called standalone since it does not integrate with the WarLight.net website, however it does provide links back to WarLight.net.

-There are a few minor differences between the single-player tab on WarLight.net and the standalone client.
+[[Category:Warzone]]
-Although the levels themselves are identical, they are made slightly easier in two ways:
-# In the standalone client, it's possible to freely save and load your games and still have the wins count.  On WarLight.net, wins only count if auto-save is enabled, which ensures players must play the level in a single play-through without re-loading.
-# In the standalone client, gold stars are much easier to achieve.
