How to Download Visual Studio 2022

[crdan 191]

Hi everyone,

If you are working on Metin2 development, you know that having a stable and specific environment is key. Recently, Microsoft has been pushing Visual Studio 2026 very hard, making it surprisingly difficult to find the 2022 version.

Even when searching specifically for "Visual Studio 2022," many official links now redirect to the 2026 installer. Since our source codes often depend on specific C++ toolsets, using the wrong version can lead to unnecessary build errors.

After some digging, I’ve found the direct links to ensure you get Visual Studio 2022 without being forced into the newer update.

Tip: When installing, don't forget to select the "Desktop development with C++" workload, as it's required for most Metin2 client and server projects.

Hope this helps those of you struggling with the recent website changes!
