Yet Another Tibia Client (YATC) is a third-party implementation of the client engine of the game Tibia. YATC is free software licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2. YATC is developed alongside Open Tibia Server (also known as OTServ) and can be found in the same sourceforge repository as OTServ.

Unlike using the official Tibia client, using YATC to connect to OTserv is not a violation of the CipSoft EULA. However, use of YATC to connect to CipSoft's gameworld servers has been known to result in banishment due to violation of their rules.

YATC is written in C++ and uses Sam Lantinga's Simple Direct Media Layer (SDL) version 1.2 for handling of user events and rendering the game. Because of this, YATC could easily be ported to numerous operating systems, but only Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux operating systems are officially supported. This is quite notable, as the official Tibia client is not available to Mac OS X users. However, due to the fact that SDL 1.2 uses software rendering on most systems, users will experience a very low framerate in comparison to the official Tibia client.

YATC uses the same client data files as the official Tibia client, so switching from the official Tibia client to YATC is as simple as copying the data files into the same folder as YATC. Please note that YATC is not distributed by its developers with data files to avoid breaking any copyright laws.
