Metin2 Singleplayer – frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions asked most often: about the price, the requirements, playing without the internet, the bots, playing with friends and updates.
What is Metin2 Singleplayer?
It is a free fan project: a local Metin2 world in which autonomous playerbots play alongside you. The server, the database and the client run on your computer, so you play solo, at your own pace. The project is not an official Metin2 release.
Is Metin2 Singleplayer free?
Yes. There are no fees, no subscription and no microtransactions. The project is made out of passion, and voluntary donations help cover the cost of developing it and give no advantage in the game.
Do you need the internet to play?
You need the internet to download the package, for the first install and for updates. After that the world starts locally and you can play offline. Read more on the Metin2 offline page.
What are the system requirements?
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), hardware virtualization enabled (Intel VT-x or AMD SVM) and Docker Desktop. The minimum is 8 GB of RAM, and 16 GB is recommended for more than 500 bots.
How do I download and install the game?
Download the full package from the Download section of the home page, install Docker Desktop, unpack the package and start the launcher. Then click "1. INSTALL / PREPARE" and "2. PLAY". Every step is described in the guide on how to install Metin2 Singleplayer.
How many bots can play in my world?
You set the number of bots in the launcher. It depends on your memory and processor: an ordinary computer with 8 GB of RAM carries a few hundred bots, and strong hardware more than 2500.
What can the bots do?
They level up, fight solo and in parties, trade on market stalls, refine their gear, hunt Metin stones and bosses, found guilds and answer whispers. The details are on the page about what the bots can do.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Co-op (COOP) mode lets you invite friends into your world and it is free; your friends only need the game client. You can also put the world on a VPS straight from the launcher. See co-op and VPS server.
What is the companion?
It is your permanent party partner: it fights beside you, buffs you and trades with you, and while you are away it plays on its own and reports back when you return. Its window opens with the P key. Read more on the companion page.
Which languages does the game support?
The game client has nine languages: Polish, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and Turkish. The bots write in the reader's language – Polish, English, German, French, Portuguese, Romanian or Turkish, and English for every other client.
How do updates work?
The launcher offers a new server or client version by itself when it starts; you can also click "CHECK FOR UPDATES". Your world, characters and settings stay where they are.
My antivirus flags the game files – what should I do?
Some antivirus programs, Windows Defender included, may flag game files by mistake. Adding the game folder to the exclusions is enough. Download the game only from the project's official places: this website, GitHub and Discord.
Can I change the world settings and the database?
Yes, it is your world. In the launcher you set the difficulty, the number of bots and the channels, and in the web panels the events, the AI behaviour and the database contents. The launcher's "DATABASE LOGIN (NAVICAT)" button shows the details for connecting to the MariaDB database.
Where do I report a bug or an idea?
Bugs are best reported with the "REPORT A BUG" button in the launcher – it sends your description together with the logs. Send ideas and suggestions on the project's Discord.
Is this the official Metin2?
No. Metin2 Singleplayer is a hobby, fan-made and educational project. Metin2 and the related trademarks belong to their owners, and the project is not affiliated with the official game publishers.
