Source-level control
A codebase we can inspect and improve lets us investigate client problems at their source instead of only working around them.
Building a future we can maintain
Client 2.0
The 64-bit RaiderZ game client with DirectX 11, built to give RaiderZ Global a technical foundation we can understand, improve and maintain for the years ahead.
Where this work begins
Why build a new client?
The current live client originated from the North American release and has served the community well. Its source code is not available to our team, however, which limits structural fixes and makes deep client-side investigation impossible.
The RaiderZ Global server and Client 2.0 share the same development lineage, giving the team source-level access on both sides of the connection for the first time.
Access creates possibility, not instant perfectionHaving the source lets us investigate and improve the client. It does not make an Alpha build automatically complete or stable — that is why measured testing matters.
More than a visual upgrade
Why a new client matters
Client 2.0 is now the official RaiderZ client. Its modern foundation lets us continue improving compatibility, stability and gameplay over time.
A modern 64-bit foundation
A native x64 architecture removes an important memory constraint, while DirectX 11 gives us a better base for current Windows versions, drivers and hardware.
Sustainable development
A maintainable client makes careful fixes, diagnostics and future improvements possible without replacing the game players love.
Official client
Download through the launcher
Client 2.0 is the only RaiderZ client offered for download and connects to the live game world.
- 64-bit Windows application with a DirectX 11 foundation.
- The launcher downloads and installs the game after sign-in.
- Automatic updates keep the client ready to play.
In development
Client 2.0 — Early Access
The client continues to improve while remaining playable on the live server. Its rendering, stability and compatibility evolve with each update.
- Native x64 architecture, DirectX 11 foundation and improved technical diagnostics.
- Testing focuses on compatibility, performance and gameplay behaviour.
- The launcher installs the game and delivers future updates.
One live world
The launcher installs Client 2.0, which connects to the RaiderZ Global live server with your account.
Progress without hiding the rough edges
The current state of Client 2.0
Rebuilding from an earlier source base means some behaviour already correct in the live client must be identified and restored. A temporary regression is evidence to investigate, not a feature we intend to keep.
Development goalWe are improving compatibility, stability and gameplay so Client 2.0 can keep growing as the official RaiderZ client.
- 01Interface differences
Some UI elements may be misplaced, incomplete or behave differently while systems are restored.
- 02Gameplay regressions
Skills, effects or interactions may reveal differences that need reproduction and correction.
- 03Performance variance
FPS, stuttering and loading can vary by hardware until bottlenecks are measured and addressed.
Evidence before release
How community testing helps
Different PCs reveal different problems. Structured testing helps us separate hardware-specific issues from general client regressions.
- 01Record the baseline
Applicants record how RaiderZ performs on their PC before installing a test build.
- 02Select useful coverage
Testing waves include different processors, graphics cards, Windows versions and player profiles.
- 03Compare consistently
Testers repeat the same scenarios with comparable settings across Client 2.0 builds.
- 04Report evidence
Clear reproduction steps, screenshots, video and diagnostics turn discoveries into actionable work.
Early Access means continuous evolutionFeatures may change, fail or be removed. Access is granted in waves and does not promise a public release date.
