ONE LAUNCHER. ANY SERVER.
Beyond BAR
Simply download, choose a server, and play. It really is that easy!
Beyond BAR is an open source launcher fork, meaning you can review it on GitLab and build it yourself it to ensure its safe.

- Download the AppImage, make it executable (right-click > Properties > Allow executing, or
chmod +x BeyondBarLauncher-0.2.1.AppImage), and run it. - Run it instead of the official Beyond All Reason launcher. Close the official launcher first: they share one data directory (
~/.local/state/<title>), so an existing install is picked up and only one can run at a time. - Some distros (Ubuntu 22.04+) need FUSE 2 for AppImages (package
libfuse2). If it isn't installed, run it with--appimage-extract-and-run.

The launcher will now provide choices to allow you to specify your own server to connect to or choose from an automatically populated list of community servers. You can of course disable custom server connection and connect to the "official" default server as well.
