This is a 4rd post in the series of detailed explanation of how to get your hands on Alicia Online. The previous posts were on how to register an account for Alicia Online, then how to download Alicia Online and finally, how to prepare your system to run Alicia Online and what to do in case it won’t work. I assume you have read all of the previous posts before proceeding to this one or asking any questions. If something doesn’t works, check the comments on all of these posts, maybe your problems was already encountered by someone else and we found a solution for it. If you want to know how to run Alicia Online, keep reading this post! :)

After you have installed the game you press Alicia Online shortcut and it opens a browser window with AO website. You have to login first and then press the big “Game Start” button. Note, that the browser opened will be your default browser, but you need Internet Explorer – so if it’s not your default one (most probably not), open the same page in a new IE window or it will NOT work.

Internet Explorer is required because Ntreev made it so the browser installs some plug-in to initiate the game’s client startup.

After you pressed the button Windows might ask if you want to let GametreeLauncher by NtreevSoft Co., Ltd make some changes to your computer – if it will ask or not, depends on your system’s security settings. Answer “yes”.
You will be taken to the following page:

The first (topmost) button will take you back to Alicia website, the second button will attempt to run the script to initiate Alicia startup process again. As you are being taken on this page, you don’t have to press anything right away, because the script was already initiated before you have been forwarded to the page.

If nothing happens for a minute or two, don’t worry, because Gametree launcher is a slowpoke and may take a while to load. Only if a couple of minutes passed and nothing happened, press the second button. If you try to run a copy of Gametree launcher and there is already a copy running, you will get this error:

Check your process list (from ctrl+alt+del menu) if the launcher is there but not responding and shut it down before trying again.

If it finally works, you will see either one of these windows:

It doesn’t really matters, which one, because it’s the same good old Gametree Launcher you were waiting to start. It just displays different pictures. I’m too lazy to type in all the Korean writing to translate them, but you don’t need to check any of the boxes for it to run. The launcher will check if there are any upgrades to the files you have installed and download them if needed:

After that you will see Alicia Online startup logo and HackShield window at the same time:

HackShield runs every time you run Alicia, if will check its own integrity and then proceed with the launch.

You will see another window:

At this step Alicia Online is checking it’s integrity too and loading files to finally start the game.

If something is wrong, you will get an error window. In this case, check this post – How to prepare your system to run Alicia Online – Or What to do if Alicia Won’t work – Step-by-Step Walkthrough

If the game is starting, you will see this screen:
