Install instructions
The Alien Arena Installer downloads the files directly from the source, keeps it up-to-date and it can be used for launching the game as well.
It should be very easy to use, just choose the folder to install to and press Install. This will also install the OpenAL audio library. After that, tick the Full screen box to automatically fill your monitor's resolution and press Play to play in full screen mode.
How to install the Alien Arena Installer
Click the Download button to download and run Setup.exe. This installs the ClickOnce Alien Arena Installer application from https://www.alienarena.org.
After installation, and when there is a new version, it will automatically ask you to update the installer.
Important:
When running Setup.exe, it's possible that Windows Defender gives a warning about it and blocks it. In that case, click on "More info" and then on "Run anyway" to continue the installation of the Alien Arena Installer.
