InfiniteL2

InfiniteL2 never slept. PvP around every corner, one event after another, and a town that was never empty.

Then there were the mini games — Zombies, Elimination, Dodgeball — and the endless chase for one more killing spree, one more multikill. Nobody remembers the gear. Everybody remembers the streak.

It went dark years ago. ApeironL2 is our way of bringing it back — rebuilt from memory.

"We didn't want a new server. We wanted that one." Why ApeironL2 exists
Getting in

Four steps to the Elven Village

Download the game

Download the High Five client once, then extract the ApeironL2 Patch into it.

High Five client (stock)

Download once. Then add the ApeironL2 Patch, or just use the launcher.

Loading…
How to install
  1. Unpack it into an empty folder, e.g. C:\Games\ApeironL2 — not inside Program Files, not in OneDrive.
  2. Then extract the ApeironL2 Patch into that folder — or put the launcher in it and run it.

ApeironL2 Patch

Extract into your High Five client folder (the one with 'system' in it) and let it overwrite.

Or use the launcher
I
Get the launcher
One file for Windows 10/11. It downloads the whole game, keeps it up to date and fixes broken files.

II
Press Download
Run it and press Download the game. The game goes into the folder shown above the button: C:\Games\ApeironL2 if you run the launcher from Downloads. To put it somewhere else, put the launcher alone in an empty folder first (not inside Program Files, not in OneDrive, English letters only). You can also move the game folder later: start the launcher inside it. First install is about 6 GB (12 GB free space needed) and resumes if interrupted.
III
Play & log in
Press Play. Pick a login (4–13 letters or numbers) and a password — your account is created the first time you use them.
IV
Choose a Side
Red or blue. Once.
Windows will warn you

The launcher is not signed yet, so Windows says "Windows protected your PC" — click More info → Run anyway. If your browser says the file "isn't commonly downloaded", choose … → Keep → Keep anyway.

To be sure it's ours, compare its SHA-256 with the one in step I. In PowerShell, in the folder with the file:

Get-FileHash .\ApeironL2Launcher.exe
Already have a High Five client?

Put ApeironL2Launcher.exe inside that client's folder and run it. It checks every file and downloads only what's different — the folder becomes your ApeironL2 client.

Updates are automatic every time you start it, and the Repair button fixes broken files without touching your keys, graphics or screenshots.

Something went wrong?

Send us the launcher log. Press Win + R, paste this and press Enter:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\ApeironL2Launcher\logs

and attach launcher.log. Windows only for now.

Questions
Windows says "Smart App Control blocked an app that may be unsafe", with no way to run it.

Smart App Control (on some Windows 11 PCs) blocks unsigned apps and has no "run anyway". You have two options:

  1. Start the game directly. If the game is already on your PC (installed by the launcher earlier, or from the two zip downloads on this page: the High Five client and the ApeironL2 Patch), open the game folder, then system, and double-click L2.exe. Windows may block the game files too, as they are not signed either; then use option 2. Without the launcher you don't get updates: after an update, download the ApeironL2 Patch zip again and extract it into the game folder.
  2. Turn Smart App Control off. Settings → Privacy & security → Windows Security → App & browser control → Smart App Control settings → Off. Microsoft Defender Antivirus stays on. With the April 2026 Windows update (KB5083769) or newer you can turn it back On in the same place whenever you like; on older Windows 11 builds, turning it off is permanent unless Windows is reset, so install the update first if you want it back later.
My antivirus deleted or quarantined the launcher.

That's a false positive. Restore it from quarantine, or download it again, and tell us the antivirus name: we report it to the vendor.

Is the launcher safe?

It downloads only from dl.apeironl2.online, checks every file against a signed list before using it, never asks for administrator rights, and changes only the game folder. Its SHA-256 is shown next to the download button.
