This page guides you through the process of efficiently downloading, extracting, and maintaining a copy of Flashpoint Ultimate.

Download Options

You can download the Ultimate file archive either directly from the internet or through a torrent. Both methods have their advantages, although the torrent is typically more reliable.

If you choose the direct download, we highly recommend using a download manager such as Motrix, rather than downloading the file directly through your browser. Browser downloads have a high risk of corruption.

If you choose the torrent, you will need a torrent client such as qBittorrent or PicoTorrent to initiate the download.

We recommend downloading and extracting Ultimate on a drive that has available space greater than or equal to double the extracted size. This ensures that the drive will not reach maximum capacity. You can optionally download and install parts at a time to reduce needed space.

Extraction Process

Ultimate is made up of separate zipped components:

  • GameData - Data for GameZipped games - /Data/Games
  • Htdocs - Data for Legacy games - /Legacy/htdocs
  • Images - All game logos and screenshots - /Data/Images
  • Extras - Unrelated game extras - /Extras
  • Base - Everything else (Launcher + Software)

All these zips can be extracted in any order to the same directory, which will result in a Flashpoint Ultimate 13 folder that is ready to use.

Updating Your Copy

At the moment, updating to a new version of Ultimate requires a full redownload. Remember to export any playlists you may want to carry over to the new version by right-clicking them in the launcher and selecting "Export Playlist". Also, refer to the Save Data Locations page for any save data that might be stored inside your Flashpoint folder so you can make backups.
