1. Download the El Dewrito updater from here

2. Unzip the files and place all of them in the same directory as eldorado.exe

3. Run the El Dewrito updater to ensure all your files are up to date.

4. Run eldorado.exe to launch the game.

5. Once the game has launched, Alt-Tab out and set your name in the console by typing "name [name you want]"

6. Download a virtual LAN application of your choice. The two that are most commonly used are Evolve and OracleNet.

7a (Evolve). Download Evolve from here and join the Halo: Online group to find people to play with.

7b (OracleNet). Download OracleNet from here.

8. Join an Evolve party or OracleNet server.

9. You can now join games via the system link menu! (or host them by setting it to LAN)

You're freaking awesome! I was confused on how everyone is doing this on Reddit and you saved the day!

:thumbsup:

You can also setup your own private VPN with OpenVPN, but that's beyond the grasp of most people.

True, but that isn't necessarily the best option if you're looking to play full games with a lot of people.

I don't even know how to install it all.
You need to have the main game downloaded first, then follow the tutorial. If you need a link to the main game, PM me. It's warez so I can't post it in public forums.

There is no game installer, so the files from the zip is the games directory. Now you just need to drag the Updater exe and Dewrito json to the same folder as eldorado.exe and run the updater.
