INSTALL WICGATE
To install WICGATE, Download and install WIC LIVE
If you get a virus warning for WIC LIVE, don't worry. The reason for this is: to make the multiplayer work, we have to inject our own code into wic.exe to replace the old massgate.net with wicgate.com which can look like a virus to some virus scanners. If you still have concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to us on the WICGATE DISCORD and talk to us about it!
Once it is installed, run it and find the big red button "INSTALL UPDATE"
Wait for the process to complete. Once the update is successfully installed, you are ready to play. Just start World in Conflict and join our servers!
As an additional last step it is advised to install the community maps for the full experience. Just click the "DOWNLOAD ALL MISSING/OUTDATED" button in WIC LIVE to automatically install all maps
