HighLite

HighLite is an open-source game client for High Spell and has received permission to operate from the game developer (Dew).

Installing HighLite

HighLite is packaged as an Electron application and provides Linux, MacOS, and Windows support.

Windows

1. Obtain the .exe file from the latest release

Warning

In Microsoft Edge, you may recieve a download warning due to HighLite not being commonly downloaded.

You can typically resolve this by clicking '...' and selecting 'Keep'

Warning

HighLite is currently un-signed due to the inherent cost of obtaining signing certificates for software. This results in install and download warnings. If we recieve enough players (or complaints!) we will invest in obtaining certificates.

You can resolve this by clicking 'More Info' and pressing 'Run anyway'
