Windows Setup

Setup instructions for Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11 users

Step 1: Create an Account on the Animus Network

You can do that here Register

Step 2: Download Required Files

Animus Launcher

Download the Animus Launcher for Windows

Note: The Animus Launcher checks if you own the game and have the singleplayer files. It will then fetch the respective manifest of the website and download the multiplayer files. Those manifests also include the necessary Animus Injector ASI loader.
You can read more about the Animus Injector on the Help page.

Step 3: Set up the game directory

Your game directory should look like this after setup (using ACB as an example):

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood/
├── ACBSP.exe
├── AnimusLauncher.exe
├── AnimusLauncherUpdater.exe
└── ...
  1. Extract AnimusLauncher.zip
  2. Copy all launcher files into the game directory
    (where ACBSP.exe, ACRSP.exe, AC3SP.exe or ACIII.exe is)
  3. Run AnimusLauncher.exe and follow the on-screen instructions
  4. Insert your Animus Network credentials
  5. Launch the game
Notes & Troubleshooting:
  • ACB: Inside the main menu, go to Options > Anti-Cheating and ensure that it's set to Off
  • AC3: About a minute after your first-ever login, the server disconnects you once so the game can load all DLCs. Press "Go Online" and all DLCs will be unlocked. No game restart is needed.
