Windows Installation

Installation

Cafe Launcher

Cafe Launcher downloads, installs, and updates the game, and includes the Resource Panel.

IMPORTANT

Complete the download source, proxy, and installation directory setup before using the game and its localization features. Choose the Cafe source for Chinese localization resources.

See Installation and First Run and the Cafe Launcher documentation for instructions.

Alternative Windows launcher

Download the Windows launcher archive, extract it, and run the launcher. It automatically downloads, installs, and updates the client. You can replace the official launcher with it or keep it in a separate directory and create a shortcut.

WARNING

If the message VP9コーデックのインストールが必要です appears, install VP9 Video Extensions from Microsoft Store.

Fallback method

Download the latest TableBundles.zip from the resource releases and extract it into Installation directory\BlueArchive_JP\BlueArchive_Data\StreamingAssets\TableBundles\.

WARNING

This works with the original official client but provides translated text only, with incorrect font rendering. Translated notices, Chinese story voices, localized images and videos, the control panel, and login acceleration are unavailable. Text does not update automatically. Use it only as a temporary fallback.

FAQ

Localization and the control panel are missing

In Cafe Launcher, select the Cafe download source and repair the game. In the alternative launcher, use Repair to check game resource integrity.
