Honestly the one to blame here is Creative Assembly. They shouln't sell their asses for another pay to win from this company, same thing when they did Total War Battles: KINGDOM who is pretty much the same bullshit of Diablo Immortal.

Sorry but how? It's the same posted above, just a different language, no download and/or login option.

After you installed the client it will automatically try to download the game.
If you have played the game before you just need to login. If you didn't you will receive an error message.

Looks like you need to be in-game to choose your reward.

Yeah, and you need an account that already played the game to even access it.

Edit: if you can get an up to date version of the game and launch it without prompting any updates in the launcher you can get it now.
I used a CIS version shared with me.

How will new players be affected during the sunset process?
From the time of this announcement, no new players will be able to start playing ARENA.

If you played ARENA previously and have since uninstalled the game, you can re-install it using the same Wargaming account credentials and access the offer from in-game.

I never played TW:A before, tried to install the game via the launcher and it told me, it's not available for my account. So it's true, no new players allowed for this offer. 😁

Of course not.
They specifically said you can't join if you haven't played before.

I thought so.
As far as I know, that was the only point to download it since the people who had already should have been able to download it.

Edit: you were wrong. There's a workaround

No, the point of downloading it is for people who used to play it, but uninstalled it since, and now need to install it again to redeem the gifts.

Unless I misunderstood they should still be able to download it from the launcher.

Сделал также, при нажатии на кнопку «Получить подарок» в Варгейминоговом клиенте переходит по ссылке и выдает: «Платежи с вашей учетной записи в Total War: ARENA не производились.»
При запуске игры требует обновления. Обновиться не дает, пишет: «Updating the game is unavailable for unathorized users. Please log in and try to update the game again.»

The guide assuming you have the means to install the game>

not sure if sharing unofficial installers to F2P games is allowed

Install wargame launcher, log-in. Close it (kill process in task manager).
Install TW Arena from alternative source,
Open wargame launcher,
Click "import installed games" button. Make sure to deselect autoupdate when importing it and trying to change the language to english before launching breaks it. so don't.
Open TW Arena game (click Play, nothing else) and do the tutorial
You will find "important news" button in-game menu (right corner) (I got a pop up and clicked the golden button in the middle of the screen)

*You may have had to run it with a cis account and disable automatic updates in the launcher, but I can't be sure, the other things could have broken it with my first attempt

I'd disabled autoupdate while importing, but Play button was never active.
Thanks, anyway.

No idea, if you used the same source as me, I'd expect following those instructions should work.
Not giving it a reason to try to update the game should leave the play button clickable.
Sorry

Even if using the arena_launcher.exe file that, I think, do the same as the Play button, I get the in-game update request instead of client.

You need to start over, if it's asking you to update it means something went wrong.
the second after importing it, the play button should be clickable, if not either you have the wrong game version or you have the settings for automatic updates enabled in the launcher.

I can launch the game by the .exe file and client says that game is running, but I can't go any further, because of message box of updating request. When click OK the game exits.
Maybe i've got too old version of the game.

Thanks, man. Finally, I got success. I failed with version 0.1.23626.1339240.53, then 0.1.127328.1508005.875, but 0.1.127757.1532119.920 is just fine.
And it seems like I got two DLCs instead of one, must be for my hard trying. 8-)

IIRC they clearly state that you can not unlink your Stream account or link another TWA account to the Steam account for the next 30 days after linking it.
