Universal zip

The Unvanquished universal zip contains the Daemon engine binaries for all supported platforms, plus the DPK packages, for an Unvanquished release. "Universal" refers to the fact that it includes software for multiple operating systems and architectures. It is a reference archive primarily intended for archival. It is not recommended for users to run the game from the universal zip as it may lack convenient integration or may even not run if the operating system does not allow programs to run from random places.

Note

The Unvanquished launcher is the recommended way to install and run the Unvanquished game.

The Unvanquished launcher can be downloaded for Linux, Windows, and macOS.

However, the launcher may be unsupported for second-tier platforms such as 32-bit x86 Linux or ARM Linux, leaving the universal zip as the only option to acquire official binaries.

This link should always redirect to the download of the latest universal zip: https://unvanquished.net/download/zip.

Universal zips starting from Unvanquished version 0.17 can be found at https://dl.unvanquished.net/release/. Universal zips for more recent releases can also be found on GitHub. See Infrastructure/Distribution#Universal zip download for more mirrors.

The universal zip is produced by this script.

As one of the installation steps, the Unvanquished launcher downloads the same set of files which are present in the universal zip to the installation directory. However, the source is a torrent rather than a zip file.
