RPG-X UE is designed to launch out of the box. Information on installing the game for the first time can be found here: http://www.last-outpost.net/forum/index.php/topic,6357.0.html

To launch RPG-X, double-click the shortcut on your desktop. RPG-X should open to the main menu with your character information as well as multiple buttons in the upper part of the screen. The shortcut SHOULD NOT have opened into holomatch. If your UI is blue, then you opened RPG-X. If it's purple, then you're in holomatch. Please post in the engineering forum if your game loads into holomatch.

From the main menu, click "Online Roleplay" then "Specify Server".

Then type the address of the server you wish to connect to:

spicy.last-outpost.net {PRIMARY]
london.last-outpost.net {SECONDARY}


TIPS:
If you're being bounced back to the main menu, go to "configure" then "game options" and make sure auto downloading is turned off. If the problem persists, make sure you have the map currently loaded by the server. To find out which map the server is running, go back to the server list. The map name is listed next to the server. Once you have the map name, search the TLO download database or ask in the shoutbox for assistance finding the map.
