How to start | Basics Heroes & Generals Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Your first thing to do is to go to the main Heroes & Generals website - all you have to do is to write the name of the game in the Google search, and then enter the first link on the list. After the website is loaded, find a button called "Create Account". Below it you will find 4 gaps to fill in your information - your in-game name, your email (which is your login), as well as password. Afterwards, click on the "Play for Free" button to continue.
After the site is loaded, you will receive an information, that your account has been successfully created and you will now have to download the game client by clicking on the provided link. After you do this, you will automatically download the game installer - you now have to execute it. Before you jump into the game, you will also have to accept a browser add-on for the browser you are using at the moment - it's mandatory, as the game won't run without it. After you've completed all the steps, all you have to do is to go back to the main page and click on the "Play Now" button - you can also run the game from the shortcut on your desktop (if you've decided to make one).
If you receive an error, stating that your game requires administrator rights, close the internet browser, as well as the H&G Sync application which starts up together with the game and reload the browser, but this time with administrator rights. To do so, right click on the browser's shortcut and select "Run as administrator" from the list. Now the game should be able to run flawlessly. All you have to do before you start your adventure, is to select the server (there's only one, called Julius, at the moment, so you can't really choose anything), accept it and wait for the game to load up the lobby screen.
