Alpha

The Nation launcher is in closed alpha

The launcher is how you play on Nation: it signs you in, checks your access and connects you to Nation's game servers. Right now it goes to Alpha testers only, so there is no public download.

Sign in with your Nation account to check your Alpha access.

What's in it: If your player ID is not linked to your Nation account yet, the launcher now says so quietly and changes nothing. Staff link it for you.

Questions

When is the public download?

When the closed alpha is stable. It will be announced in News and this page will get a download button the same day.

How do I check a download is genuine?

Compare the installer's SHA-256 with the value above (in PowerShell: Get-FileHash <file>). The launcher also refuses any update whose signature does not verify.

The launcher will not install or connect.

Check Status first. If everything is operational, open a Support ticket with the Technical category and include what you saw.
