Setup

  1. Register your account — create your account if you haven't already.
  2. Download your client above and extract the ZIP somewhere with plenty of space. Keep NGE and Pre-CU in separate folders.
  3. Install the launcher, extract its ZIP, run the setup file. If Windows SmartScreen appears, choose More info then Run anyway — this is expected for unsigned indie launchers.
  4. Point the launcher at your extracted client folder, let it patch, then hit Play and log in with your new account.
