Installation

Step 1. Downloading the base game

base game
Download the base game from the magnet link above. If the torrent is not working or dead, please let us know, and use the link below in the meanwhile.
non torrent version

Step 2. Installing the game

After downloading the game just install it from the .iso. Installing it to a custom folder instead of the default "Program Files" folder is recommended, so the aesthetics compiler will not need to ask you for admin rights every time you compile an export.
Do not install the crack included.

Step 3. Downloading and installing the 1.04 update and crack

1.04 patch
Copy everything from the archive to your PES16 folder and overwrite everything.

Step 3b. (Optional) Adding the DXVK converter

Optional but recommended, particularly for laptop users.
DXVK Converter
This little file converts the DirectX graphics instructions from the game into modern Vulkan instructions, making it more efficient, mostly in terms of CPU usage.
Just extract the dll from the zip, and place it in your PES16 folder. That's all.

Step 4. Downloading and installing the DLC

Look for the newest official DLC on the Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 main page. Just copy and overwrite everything.

Step 5. Downloading and installing the save

Look for the newest official save on the Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 main page.
Downloaded save files (EDIT00000000) go into My Documents\KONAMI\Pro Evolution Soccer 2016\save.
If you don't have a save folder just run PES16 once and it should automatically generate it. COACH and TEXPORT files also go to and come from this folder.

Step 6. Setting high quality mode

Run Settings.exe in the main PES16 folder and set "Picture Quality" to "High". This is very important to get the models to appear during regular gameplay and to make some custom shaders work (they will look completely red otherwise).
There are some other things you can customize here:

  • If you want to skip the ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATIONS before the main menu when you start PES16, go to the Online tab, uncheck Automatic and set the port to 0.
  • You can set up keyboard and controller input.

If the "High" choice on "Picture Quality" is greyed out, then your GPU is not being recognized properly. As a workaround, you can close the Settings app, then grab this settings.dat file and put it in your My Documents\KONAMI\Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 folder (right outside the save folder). Do not open the Settings app ever again, or the "Picture Quality" setting will be reset.

Step 7. Running the game

Now you can run PES2016.exe and make sure the game says Version 1.04 and Data Pack 4CC.

Troubleshooting

If you need help installing, contact someone from the Aesthetics_Council or ask on the /vg/4ccg/ thread. You can also join the official 4chan cup IRC and ask for help there.

Help, the crack keeps getting deleted.

Stop using Windows Security Essentials or any other terrible antivirus and get a decent one. And yes, Windows Defender will keep deleting your files without informing you even if you've disabled it. No, they are not viruses. You can set up an exception: XP/Vista/7, 8/8.1/perhaps 10.
