The Tibia Client, which uses the icon , is the program one runs to play Tibia. Speaking in general, a client is a computer system that accesses a (remote) service on another computer by some kind of network (see Wikipedia:Client (computing)).

The Tibia Client does the following:

• Connect to the game server,
• Show the situation in the game to you (as received from the game server),
• Send your actions to the server.

The client contains not only the connection software, but also a graphics interface and some other data, e.g. images.

To get the Tibia Client, visit the download section on www.tibia.com.

[edit] System requirements

The Tibia client is available for Linux and Windows. Depending on what you are using, the requirements are:

Linux		Windows
Linux with libc version 6 or later X-Window system installed Hardware accelerated graphics driver 40 MB free hard disk space		Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP/Vista DirectX version 5.0 or later 35 MB free space on your hard disk

In any case you will need a connection to the internet.

[edit] Data stored on computer

• The client executable (the programme itself), Tibia.exe (Windows) or Tibia (Linux),
• Some game data (e.g. images),
• Your map files (*.map),
• Your configuration.

The map files are by far the most data, and their size grows as you explore the map.

[edit] Tibia Screen

The screen of Tibia client, when connected to the server, is divided into several parts:

• Game Window - main part in which all game actions take place,
• Console - where you can communicate with other players,
• Minimap - map view of area around your character,
• Inventory - here you can see your HP, mana, items and also buttons to perform some actions or to toggle modes,
• Other Windows - Skills, Battle, VIP and open containers.

Sometimes, when needed, a dialog window appears in the Game Window area.
