A quick guide to show how to make the game launcher recognize where your game resides.

Requirements

  • You're using Administration user. Writing Registry Key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE requires you Administrative elevation.
  • Make sure that WeMade's game launcher is not running while you're following this guide.

You need to obtain these infos before you can actually start:

For Windows x86 (32-bit)

  1. Open Regedit.exe if you haven't done it. How to launch regedit
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
  3. Search for key WeMade Online, if there is no such key exist, create it.
  4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WeMade Online
  5. Search for key Soulworker, if there is no such key exist, create it.
  6. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WeMade Online\Soulworker
  7. Within HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WeMade Online\Soulworker:
  • a) Search for string value Execute, if there is no such value exist, create new string value and name it as Execute.
  • b) Search for string value InstallPath, if there is no such value exist, create new string value and name it as InstallPath.
  1. Within HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WeMade Online\Soulworker:

For Windows x64 (64-bit)

  1. Open Regedit.exe if you haven't done it. How to launch regedit
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node
  3. Search for key WeMade Online, if there is no such key exist, create it.
  4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\WeMade Online
  5. Search for key Soulworker, if there is no such key exist, create it.
  6. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\WeMade Online\Soulworker
  7. Within HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\WeMade Online\Soulworker:
  • a) Search for string value Execute, if there is no such value exist, create new string value and name it as Execute.
  • b) Search for string value InstallPath, if there is no such value exist, create new string value and name it as InstallPath.
  1. Within HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\WeMade Online\Soulworker:

Example:

This is just an example, you do not need to put or move your game folder to the according location.

  • Assume the full path to the SoulWorker100.exe file is D:\Hangame\soulworker\SoulWorker100.exe:
    • This means %SWFOLDER% is D:\Hangame\soulworker.
    • So at Step 8, we will:
      • Set the value of Execute to D:\Hangame\soulworker\SoulWorker100.exe
      • Set the value of InstallPath to D:\Hangame\soulworker

Side Notes:

  • In the step 8, you need to replace %SWFOLDER% with the actual path which is obtained at Requirements
  • Similiar to Folders and files's relationship, in registry:
    • A key is similiar to a folder.
    • A value is similiar to a file.
    • A key can contains many values and also keys.
  • The guides for both archilectures are actually the same but only one difference:
