To play on Windows:
Video drivers warning!
Many Windows computers do not come with the latest video drivers installed. We highly recommend you to install the latest video drivers for your computer. If you have outdated video drivers, the game can crash at startup, or after you create your character. This is especially true for the Intel cards. Even if you don't care too much about playing Eternal Lands, having the latest drivers installed will generally improve your computer performance and stability. For your convenience, we are providing links for the most common video card drivers:

Sound:
The sound is an optional package of 40MB. It is the same for all operating systems.
After you finished downloading it you will need to unzip it into the directory/folder where you installed the game in such a way so that you will have a sound directory in there.
Example for windows: the directory should look like: C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\sound\
It should NOT look like this: C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\sound\sound\
The sound is disabled by default in the client, so after you downloaded and installed the sound, you will have to go in the Options window of the game and enable the sound.
You can download the sound package from one of these sites:
FileFront Mirror- el_sound_150.zip
UK Mirror- el_sound_150.zip
