What you need

A PC with Windows 10 or 11, Steam, and your own copy of theHunter installed from your Steam library. Hunter Resurgence contains no game files: its launcher connects your copy to the community server.

Played before? Get your profile back

Sign in on this website and open Restore your backup. Have a backup zip? Upload it there: the operator checks it by hand, then restores it. No backup zip? Use “Claim your old profile” there with your old hunter name.

Uploading a backup replaces your profile on this server: items, wallet, skills, statistics, achievements, trophies and lodges. Hunts you played here stay.

Step 1

Download the Hunter Resurgence launcher and run it. It installs for your user only (no administrator prompt), adds a shortcut and updates itself.

The exe is not code-signed, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC / Unknown publisher". Choose "More info", then "Run anyway".

Step 2

On its first start, the launcher offers to open from Steam's Play button: choose “Close Steam and set it”. Steam starts again by itself. Then press Play in Steam. The launcher lists what it changes on your PC: choose Set up, and answer Yes when Windows asks to install a certificate and to edit the hosts file. The game's files are never changed.

Step 3

Press “Sign in with Steam” in the launcher and sign in in the browser that opens, with the Steam account you play with. Choose a reserve and a start, then press Start Game. The first time, Windows Firewall asks about the game: choose Allow. Keep the launcher open while you play.
