Download the client

Get the Lineage 2 system (client) for the correct chronicle from the server website. Interlude and High Five are the most common.

Apply the server patch

Download the server patch and extract it into your Lineage 2 system folder, overwriting existing files. This updates the l2.ini file to point to the correct server.
