The installer may come across an issue while downloading or installing certain files. To fix this issue, please install the latest available updates for your Windows OS. To check for available updates for your system, please click here.

If you're still experiencing the same issue after updating your system, please try to run the setup installer instead.

If Overwolf's installer keeps getting stuck on "Extracting Files" please try to run the setup installer instead.

In certain cases the installer may appear 'broken' and it will be displayed incorrectly. 

If that happens, please contact us.

This issue is commonly caused by the following:

• An anti-virus/firewall/VPN that might block the communication with the Overwolf servers
  Make sure to white-list Overwolf.
• Corrupted machine.config file
  Please follow these steps to repair it:
  1. Go to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\
     1. Open the 'v2.0.50727' folder then 'config'
     2. Override 'machine.config' with 'machine.config.default' (delete the 'machine.config' file, duplicate the 'machine.config.default' file and rename it to 'machine.config') 
     3. Open the 'v4.0.30319' folder then 'config'
     4. Override 'machine.config' with 'machine.config.default' (delete the 'machine.config' file, duplicate the 'machine.config.default' file and rename it to 'machine.config')
  2. Go to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\ and repeat steps a-d
     
     

• Overwolf server malfunction or downtime
  Please try again after a while, just to make sure it's not a temporary issue.
• Weak/Unstable Wi-Fi connection that disconnects every now and then
  Connect your internet via cable or make sure your Wi-Fi connection is stable.
• The connection is blocked by your ISP (internet service provider)
  Reach out to your ISP to find out how to remove the block.

First, please make sure that the basic .NET Framework 3.5 feature is installed and enabled:

1. Open the system's Control Panel
2. Select "Programs" or "Programs and Features" (depending on the view setting):
   
   
3. Select "Turn Windows features on or off":
   
   
4. Make sure that the checkbox for ".NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)" is ticked. If there is an additional .NET Framework version in the list, as seen in the screenshot below, make sure that it is ticked as well:
   
   
   5. Restart your system (if asked to) and try to launch the Overwolf installer again.
   
   

If the .NET Framework 3.5 feature is already enabled, you may going to need reinstall the higher .NET Framework version (4.8) installed on your system. For more information, please visit this article.

If the above-mentioned solutions did not help you overcome the issue, please try to run the setup installer.
It comes in a zipped file, so you will first need to extract it by using any program like WinZip, WinRAR or 7-Zip.
Once the installation is complete you can go ahead and start downloading awesome apps for your games!

To uninstall Overwolf just go to: Start -> Control Panel -> Uninstall a Program and uninstall Overwolf.

Once you finish uninstalling, head to C:\Program Files (x86) and check if you have an Overwolf folder (you shouldn't). Delete it, and proceed to do the following:

1. Press the Windows key + R
2. Type: %localappdata%
3. Press enter
4. Look for a folder named 'Overwolf'
5. Delete it

We've seen this happen to users who have SAntivirus/Segurazo installed (sometimes, without even their knowledge), but it might also happen with other software. To resolve the issue you can temporarily disable the antivirus software and redownload the installer. For more information, please visit this article.

RivaTuner Statistics Server is a hardware monitoring program that usually comes bundled with MSI Afterburner. Sometimes, it may conflict with Overwolf and prevent it from running properly (or running at all). 

To prevent any such issues, please follow the suggestions in our Overwolf and Conflicts with RivaTuner article, or close RivaTuner entirely for the duration of the installation (you may need to close MSI Afterburner first).
