Terra
Realms (Episode I: The Discovery)
TerraRealms Download (Purchased
Version)
Important:
If you are using Windows XP and have an older version of TerraRealms
you may get an error indicating that you need to install Shockwave.
This has been resolved by installing some files into the TerraRealms
Xtras folder. Right click and save TR_Patch.exe
to your hard drive then extract the files directly into the TerraRealms
Xtras folder.
When you use PayPay to purchase
TerraRealms Episodes 1 & 2 you are redirected to a download page.
Once you start the download, do not stop the process before it is completed.
Because of the large file size there is a greater chance of a connection
failure especially on slower connections.
The TerraRealms.exe is a self-extracting file that should be 18,811KB
in size. If you get a message that's similar to "Format exception.
Input stream is too short...," it means the file was not completely
downloaded and you need to contact
us.
Once the TerraRealms.exe
file is successfully downloaded, you will need to extract the files
by double-clicking on it. (Right click on 'My Computer' and choose 'Find'
if you don't know where it was downloaded). Follow the directions and
note where you are saving the TerraRealms folder. Open the folder and
double-click on "Start.exe" to play the game.
