Windows Setup Guide

Installing BattleNetPrefill

  1. Navigate to the Releases page on Github.
  2. Download the latest version for Windows. The filename should look like BattleNetPrefill-X.Y.Z-win-x64.zip.
  3. Unzip to a directory of your choice. This can be anywhere on your system.

Optional Windows Setup

Configuring your terminal to use Unicode will result in a much nicer experience with BattleNetPrefill, for much nicer looking UI output.

UTF8 Comparison

As the default console in Windows does not support UTF8, you should instead consider installing Windows Terminal from the Microsoft App Store, or Chocolatey.

Once Windows Terminal has been installed you will still need to enable Unicode, as it is not enabled by default. Running the following command in Powershell will enable it if it hasn't already been enabled.

if(!(Test-Path $profile))
{
    New-Item -Path $profile -Type File -Force
}
if(!(gc $profile).Contains("OutputEncoding")) 
{ 
    ac $profile "[console]::InputEncoding = [console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.UTF8Encoding]::new()";
    & $profile; 
}
