The Order: 1886 on Windows: matching update, game-root selection and the unstable opening
How to install The Order: 1886 on a Windows PC using the unofficial community PC port. This walkthrough covers the Windows download, PKG extraction, the matching 1.02 game update, the correct game-folder selection, and a short look at the recorded opening sequence.
The key checkpoint: The recorded setup uses Windows v0.7.6-rc.1 and CUSA00035 with update 1.02. Reaching the opening is the demonstrated checkpoint; visible instability remains.
Before you start
- Use the recorded versions and the supported inputs listed in the original notes below.
- Compare the last successful checkpoint before choosing a fix.
- Keep original files, relevant logs and a known working setup when testing changes.

Walkthrough 01
The Order: 1886 on Windows
The Order eighteen eighty-six is running on my Windows PC, and this is the setup that got me into its opening sequence. I'll show you which files to get, how to prepare the game folder, and how to connect it to the launcher. There is one folder check before we press Play that makes the whole process much easier to follow. This is an unofficial community project that is still in early development. The game launches in my recording, but there are still visual issues, and this is not a full campaign test.
With that understood, let's go through the installation from the beginning.
Walkthrough 02
Download the Windows port
We need three things: the Windows package for the port, the package extractor, and a dump of your own copy of the game. Keep the base game and its matching update together. The setup shown here uses the game ID displayed on screen, updated to version one point zero two. Matching that version matters when following this particular walkthrough. First, open the project's GitHub page and go to Releases. The recording uses the Windows release shown here.
Expand Assets and download the file called theorder1886-windows.zip. That is the ready-made Windows package. The Source code downloads underneath it are for the project's source files, so they are not the package we're using for this installation. Next, open the shadPS4Plus package extractor project and download its Windows package. The version shown in this recording is one point one. We use this tool to unpack the game packages into ordinary folders that the port can read.
If your own dump is already extracted and updated correctly, you can continue from the game-folder check later in the video.
Walkthrough 03
Prepare the base game
Once the downloads are ready, extract both tool archives. Give the port its own folder and keep everything from its archive together. Do the same for the extractor. Don't take an executable out by itself and leave the other files inside the ZIP. Open the extracted folders so we can use the tools directly. Now let's prepare the base game. In one Explorer window, open the folder containing your game package. In the other, open the extracted package tool.
Find the package extractor executable, then drag the base-game PKG onto it, exactly as shown. Make sure this is the base game, rather than the smaller update package. The extraction window will start listing the files it is writing. Let that process finish. Your drive needs enough free space for the extracted game as well as the original package. I'll speed up the waiting here, but on your own PC, leave the extractor running until it reaches its completion message.
Walkthrough 04
Merge the update files
After the base game finishes, repeat the same process with the matching one point zero two update package. Drag that update onto the extractor and let it complete. You'll now have the main game folder and a separate folder containing the extracted update files. The update belongs to this installation, so don't skip it just because the base game has already extracted. Open the extracted update folder and select its contents. Copy those files and folders into the main game folder.
Merge the matching folders, and replace matching files when Windows asks. Keep the folder structure intact. The important part is copying the update's contents into the game, rather than leaving the entire update folder nested inside it.
Walkthrough 05
Display settings
Here's the check before opening the launcher. Inside the main game folder, you should be able to see eboot.bin, along with folders such as sce_module and sce_sys. This is the folder we'll select in the next step. We are not selecting the original PKG, the downloads folder above it, or the separate update folder. We want the extracted, updated game itself. Now open the Windows port folder and launch The Order eighteen eighty-six executable. In the launcher's Game section, find Game folder, click Browse, and select the folder we just checked.
The selected path should point directly to the game. Since we've already merged the update, the optional separate update-folder field can stay empty for this method.
Walkthrough 06
Opening footage and current limitations
Before launching, take a quick look at the display settings. The launcher has options for the window mode, aspect ratio, frame rate and other graphics features. In this recording I also try different settings, but those experiments aren't requirements for preparing the game folder. Start with the basic setup, then change settings individually once you know the game launches on your machine. Save the configuration, then click Play. Give the game time to get through its startup screens.
I'll shorten the repeated logos and waiting in the edit, while keeping the transition into the opening visible. The useful result here is that the launcher has found the game and is actually starting it. And here is the opening sequence running on my PC. I'll let a little of the footage play so you can see the current result. There is still visible instability in this build, so reaching this point doesn't mean that every scene is correct or that the entire game has been tested.
It does show that the installation and launch work on this setup.
If your result differs
| Situation | Next useful check |
|---|---|
| The process stops at a different checkpoint | Record the exact message, current build and last successful stage. Compare that stage with the matching video section. |
| A setting is selected but the result differs | Repeat the same scene and change one option at a time. A menu target does not establish measured performance. |
| A newer release changes the interface | Check the linked release notes and instructions. This companion preserves the recorded route and its limitations. |
