# RecFlare game client
|
|
|
|
Automatic download and setup of a game client to play [RecFlare](https://github.com/djdevin/recflare).
|
|
|
|
The [Rec Room 2025 patch](https://github.com/recflare/patch-2025) is installed as part of the setup and configured to point at the RecFlare servers.
|
|
|
|
## Download/update and play
|
|
|
|
### Easy way: installer
|
|
|
|
Download and run `RecFlareSetup.exe` from the [releases page](https://github.com/djdevin/recflare-client/releases). The wizard asks whether you have Rec Room in your Steam library: if you do, it downloads the game client from Steam (DepotDownloader, signing in with your username or a Steam mobile app QR code); if not, it downloads the game files from a mirror instead. It then installs the 2025 patch, points `2025patch.ini` at RecFlare, and creates Start menu/desktop shortcuts for desktop and VR mode.
|
|
|
|
If Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC", click **More info** and then **Run anyway** (the installer is unsigned).
|
|
|
|
To build the installer yourself, compile `RecFlareSetup.iss` with [Inno Setup](https://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) 6.1 or later: `iscc RecFlareSetup.iss`.
|
|
|
|
### Manual way: scripts
|
|
|
|
1. Check out this repository or extract the ZIP: https://github.com/djdevin/recflare-client/archive/refs/heads/2025.zip
|
|
2. Run `download.bat`. The script will ask whether you have Rec Room in your Steam library: if you do, it downloads the game client from Steam (DepotDownloader); if not, it syncs the game files from a mirror instead. Either way it then installs the 2025 patch and writes `2025patch.ini` pointing at RecFlare.
|
|
3. Run `RecRoomScreen.bat` or `RecRoomVR.bat`
|
|
|
|
## Custom server
|
|
|
|
Fork this project and change the `ApiHost` and `PhotonHost` values in `download.bat` (the `powershell` line) and `RecFlareSetup.iss` (the `ApiHost`/`PhotonHost` constants) to your own instance. You can also edit `2025patch.ini` in the game folder directly after installing.
