FAQ / Common Issues

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions.

What is Tempest?

The Tempest Launcher is a community-driven project created in order to preserve Paladins and ensure that the game remains playable both in singleplayer and multiplayer on community-hosted modded servers, even if official support ends.

How do I get in game once I launched?

Make sure Enable Console is checked in the launcher settings, at the login screen type anything into the user and pass and click login. Once it says Logging in, press F1 on your keyboard.

I can't install any version, the download arrow button does nothing

Make sure you've selected a Build Directory, this will define where the builds are downloaded

How do I participate in a playtest?

1. First of all you need to have OB 57 downloaded
   
2. Then you'll need to download a program called RAdmin VPN and join the network, to do that once you installed it, open it and go into Network -> Join Network

   The Network name is paladinskana and the Password is kana123

3. Then on Tempest settings, make sure Enable Console is checked and load the multiplayer mod (the upk file) that you've downloaded using the + icon next to Mod Loader
4. Then, in the launch options at the top of the setting, enter the ip address of the host followed by the parameters for your name and champion

   Example Launch Args: 26.203.83.83?name=Cinnamon?class=shalin

How do I host a server?

1. Download the TempestMp Mod and the Server DLL
2. Make sure you are logged in RAdmin VPN

   The Network name is paladinskana and the Password is kana123

3. Load the TempestMp Mod using the Mod Loader and make sure Enable Console is checked.
4. Then, in the launch options at the top of the setting, enter the server launch argument followed by the map, gamemode and allowedChampions.

   Example Launch Args: server IMM_P_Igloo_v02?game=TempestMp.Siege?allowedChampions=barik,bombking,lian,maeve,zhin,lex,inara,jenos,shalin -log

   WARNING

   Make sure you have -log at the end
   While there is no limit on how much champions server hosters can precache, We recommend that you avoid going above 10.
   As of right now, only Siege is supported.

5. As soon as the server log appears, pause it by selecting any text in the console window.
6. Use an injector to inject the Server DLL.

   We recommend Cheat Engine or Process Hacker.

7. Unpause the server by right clicking in the console window. You can then share your RAdmin ip to anyone.

Can you balance the game, like change champions damage, health etc?

Short answer: No
Long answer: Yes, but it requires going through the assembly file to make changes about a specific value for a specific champion which is tedious to do and not a priority, then everyone needs to have the same assembly file
