Connect to the Server

In order to connect to the server, you have the following options:

HOSTS file​

Edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and add this line:

127.0.0.1 l2authd.lineage2.com

BAT file​

Create a .bat file with the following content:

@start l2.bin IP=127.0.0.1

Custom exe​

Here is a C++ Win32 exe example:

#define _WIN32_WINNT _WIN32_WINNT_WINXP
#define NOMINMAX
#include <windows.h>
#include <cstdlib>

// Start L2 as .bin with IP as parameter.
// You can use IP or DNS as IP parameter.
// You could include other parameters.
// You can change the path to the .bin file to avoid including the L2.exe inside the System folder.
// Author: Zoey76
int _stdcall wWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPWSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd) {
    ShellExecute(0, L"open", L"cmd.exe", L"/C start l2.bin IP=127.0.0.1", 0, SW_HIDE);
}
