Pre-Alpha Two access is required in order to sign into the Intrepid Launcher. During testing, servers will need to be unlocked for you to sign in and patch the game. Instructions will be sent to those selected for the testing via email and posted in Discord/Forums.
After signing into the Intrepid Launcher, the installation or patching process will start immediately.
- Repair: This function will fix issues with the game data files. Repairing is useful if you are getting crashes related to corrupt data files, or if you get a specific error when patching that prompts you to run a repair. The Repair process will check the integrity of the game files and download any parts of files that do not pass that integrity check.
- Reinstall: This function will remove all game files and start a fresh download of the most recent version of the files. Reinstalling is useful if you are having issues with the speed of patching, specifically the process of applying changes. Sometimes when there is a large patch or you haven’t patched for a while, it can be faster to download the most recent complete version of the game as opposed to downloading all the patch files and then going through the process of applying those patches to the existing game files.
-
Uninstall: This function will remove all game files, leaving the Launcher untouched. Uninstalling is useful if you want to change the location of the game’s installation directory, or if you just want to uninstall the game without affecting the Launcher.
