THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL GUIDE
Note that this installation method is NOT officially supported by the Ascension Staff. Ascension does not provide any technical support while playing on unsupported platforms
This installation guide does not use the official AppImage, instead it uses Bottles and the Ascension Launcher for Windows. (See the bottom of this post to see the tested distros)
Preparation/Requirements
- Download the latest AscensionInstaller.exe
- Download and Install Bottles, (can be found on Flathub, or most software stores if you have the appropriate repositories added)

2 Install dotnet 4.5.2 dependency
- Go to your newly created Bottle.
- Click on Dependencies.
- Find and Install dotnet452.
There's an installation progress indicator in the topbar.
The installation might take awhile, please be patient. It took about 8-10 minutes before it was installed.
3 Install the Ascension Launcher
-
After installing the dotnet452 dependency, go back to the Bottle.
-
Click on Run Executable...

Select the AscensionInstaller.exe and click on Run

The launcher should now be installed. You can now login and install Ascension.
Bottles should now also detect the Installed Launcher and list it under Programs inside your Bottle. This will be the main method for opening up the Ascension Launcher.
