Download & play
Grab the launcher.
The DBZee launcher is free. It pulls the latest client build, keeps it up to date, and drops you straight into the login screen.
Windows
dbzee_launcher.exe
Download
Linux
dbzee_launcher (binary)
Download
macOS
dbzee_launcher.app.zip
Download
Linux: after downloading, mark the file executable
with chmod +x dbzee_launcher before running it.
macOS: the launcher isn't notarized by Apple, so on
first launch macOS will say "dbzee_launcher" cannot be opened.
Unzip the download, then right click the .app →
Open, and click Open in the prompt.
macOS remembers your choice for next time. Or from Terminal:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine dbzee_launcher.app.
System requirements
- OS: Windows 10+ (64 bit), a recent 64 bit Linux distro, or macOS 10.13+ (Intel or Apple Silicon).
- CPU: any dual core from the last decade.
- GPU: integrated graphics are fine. Dynamic Lighting and Shader Effects can each be toggled off under Escape → Video on lower end machines.
- RAM: 2 GB free.
- Disk: ~250 MB after install.
- Network: a stable connection. The game is fully online.
Getting started
- Run the launcher. It will fetch the current client build and update itself when new versions ship.
- Create an account from the login screen.
- Roll a character. Pick a name. You'll do the tutorial during the first scene.
- Find a guild or start one once you've found your footing. The Dragon Ball pedestals are a guild feature.
Troubleshooting
- Can't connect: the auth and game servers run separately. If login works but world load hangs, check your firewall against the server port shown in the launcher.
- Auras look flat: open Escape → Video and make sure Shader Effects and Dynamic Lighting are both on.
- Performance dips in towns: drop Dynamic Lighting first. It's the heavier of the two toggles.
- Linux launcher won't run: make sure it's executable (
chmod +x dbzee_launcher) and your distro has up to date Vulkan or OpenGL drivers. - macOS won't open the launcher: see the macOS note above. Right-click the
.app→ Open is enough to bypass Gatekeeper for an unnotarized build.
