Download client
Download the ZIP once (launcher included). Install VC++ x86, extract and run Start_PokeOne.vbs or URUCHOM_POKEONE.bat — later updates install automatically, no re-download from the site.
Full Poke-One client (recommended)
ZIP with client + launcher (Start_PokeOne.vbs). Extract once; the launcher pulls updates when needed. Do not run pokeone_DX9.exe alone from the browser.
Download pokeone-client.zip- Install VC++ x86 (section below), then download and extract pokeone-client.zip
- Run Start_PokeOne.vbs or URUCHOM_POKEONE.bat (update + login screen). You do not need to re-download the ZIP every time.
- Log in with the account you created on poke-one.pl
If Windows shows "protected your PC": click "More info", then "Run anyway". Normal for a new unsigned client. Or use URUCHOM_POKEONE.bat.
Install before playing (required)
The client is 32-bit. Without VC++ x86 it often will not start. Install once per PC.
1. Visual C++ (x86) — required
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015–2022, 32-bit. Without it: missing DLL or instant crash.
Download VC++ x86 (required) Optional VC++ x642. DirectX (if DX9 fails)
Legacy DirectX End-User Runtime from Microsoft. Mainly needed when DX9 fails.
Download DirectX Runtime3. How to start
Extract ZIP → Start_PokeOne.vbs (or URUCHOM_POKEONE.bat). Update window, then login. Later versions are pulled by the launcher. Laptop / white screen: URUCHOM_BEZPIECZNY.bat. Package includes CZYTAJ_MNIE.txt.
Update stuck at 5%?
An older launcher could download without refreshing its window. Download the small corrected launcher file — no need to download the full client again.
Download corrected launcher- Close the game and updater window.
- Save LAUNCHER.ps1 in the extracted game folder, next to PokeOne.bat or URUCHOM_POKEONE.bat, replacing the old file. Make sure the filename does not end in .txt.
- Run PokeOne.bat or URUCHOM_POKEONE.bat. The window will show downloaded MB and update progress.
Keep at least 2 GB free on the drive containing the game. If the problem returns, send update.log from the client folder.
Troubleshooting
- SmartScreen / “protected your PC”: More info → Run anyway, or use URUCHOM_POKEONE.bat.
- White window then crash: Install VC++ x86, run pokeone_OpenGL.exe or URUCHOM_BEZPIECZNY.bat, update GPU drivers.
- Missing VCRUNTIME / MSVCP: Almost always missing VC++ x86 — install with the button above.
- Still broken: Run DIAGNOSTYKA_CRASH.bat from the client folder and send crash_diag.txt / poke-one.log on Discord.
DirectX 9 launcher only
Use if you already have the extracted client and only need the starter file.
Download pokeone_DX9.exeOpenGL launcher only
If DX9 crashes (white screen) — try OpenGL or URUCHOM_BEZPIECZNY.bat from the package.
