Download Genesis

The client is one archive on the download page. It is the game client, build 01.140508, already pointed at this server, so nothing has to be swapped by hand and Steam is not involved.

Why the link waits for an account

The download button appears once you are signed in. An account is required to enter the world anyway, so making it first saves a step. The file name, its size and its SHA-256 are shown to visitors too, because a two-gigabyte decision should be possible before registering.

The order of things

  1. Create an account. A working mailbox is required: an unconfirmed account cannot enter the world.
  2. Confirm the address from the mail it sends.
  3. Take the archive from the download page and check the SHA-256 printed under it.
  4. Unpack the whole thing into any folder with roughly 6 GB free.
  5. Run GenesisLauncher.exe, the launcher. It checks the client files against the server and, if something is old or damaged, shows Update instead of Play and fetches only what changed.
  6. Sign in to the launcher with the same account and password as on the site and press Play.

What you need

Windows may raise a SmartScreen warning, because the launcher carries no code signature. Choose "More info", then "Run anyway".

If it will not start or will not connect, the concrete checks are on their own page, and the hardware side is on the requirements page. After that, follow the guide.

Preguntas

How much disk space does it need?
Around 6 GB for the unpacked build, plus room for the archive while it downloads. The exact archive size is printed on /download.
Do I need Steam?
No. The game starts from its own launcher, GenesisLauncher.exe, and does not need Steam.
Why does the link only appear after login?
The account that lets you into the world is the same one that opens the download. File name, size and SHA-256 are visible without it.
The download keeps breaking. Now what?
Start the launcher again: it carries on from where it stopped and does not fetch again what is already on the disk.
