Set it up in five minutes

You need your own Soldier Front installation (the folder that holds data). Our download contains only the new game program; it never replaces or includes anything of Soldier Front's own.

1. Download the client: SoldierFrontReborn-client.zip.
2. Unzip it into your Soldier Front folder, the one that holds the data folder. Nothing there is overwritten.
3. Run legacysf.exe from that folder. If you keep it elsewhere, it asks where Soldier Front is the first time and remembers.
4. Create an account in the game: a username and a password of at least 8 characters. No email is needed.
5. Choose your code name (2 to 16 letters and digits) and a starting force. ARTC is free; the others are sold in the Character Shop.
6. Pick a server from the list, choose a channel, then make or join a room.

Voice chat

Hold V (Push to talk) to talk to your room, or to your side in a team game. In Options, Sound, Voice chat, Talk by switches to Voice activation (you're sent while you speak louder than a threshold you set) or an Open microphone. The same page has the volumes and a Test my microphone box that plays your voice back to you. To stop hearing one soldier, right-click their name and choose Mute voice. Windows must allow games to use the microphone: Settings, Privacy, Microphone.
