Launcher Update — Action Required (Aug 27, 2025)
A new launcher is required to play. 1.5 Launcher Download Here
What’s changing
- All players must use the new launcher.
- The launcher will create a Windows Defender exclusion for your TERA folder only (e.g. C:\TERA\) to avoid false positives during the transition. You can review/remove it anytime in Windows Security.
- We plan to sign the launcher with a code-signing certificate next week. Once signed, Windows will show a verified publisher and SmartScreen/Defender prompts should decrease.
- Improved process handling so the launcher opens the game more reliably (fewer stuck starts / focus issues).
TERA Shop
- TERA Shop is back.
Shinra
- Shinra integration is in the works. No ETA yet.
Security
- Backend hardening + additional checks implemented.
Latency
- Netcode / gateway tuning deployed. Needs testing
Toolbox Status
- Toolbox is not compatible with this build. A fix is being investigated; no ETA right now.
- If Toolbox cannot be restored quickly, we may integrate key QoL Mod features directly into the launcher.
Quick FAQ
- Game stuck on “Fate of Arun” / server list not loading → Log out in the launcher, then log back in.
- Can’t select a server after returning to the server screen → Fully restart the game client.
- Toolbox throws errors at launch → Toolbox is not supported in the current build.
Transparency & Safety
- Scope: The Defender exclusion applies only to your TERA install folder (e.g., C:\TERA\).
- Control: You can view, change, or remove it anytime. (Removing it may prevent the game from launching until code-signing is in place.)
How to review/remove the Defender exclusion (Windows 10/11)
- Open Windows Security → Virus & threat protection
- Click Manage settings under Virus & threat protection settings
- Scroll to Exclusions → Add or remove exclusions
- View, edit, or remove the TERA folder exclusion
