Launcher

To access to the game, please download and install the Carnal Instinct Launcher, you can find download links to this on Patreon here and Subscribestar here.

For all updates, the launcher will replace itself and you do not need to handle deleting the old version of the launcher.
When you login to Patreon, please ensure that you login to Patreon using your Patreon Email/Password.

If you have any issues with a empty/blank/white popup window, please review your anti-virus software or capacitive wireless portal and see if it is blocking your login.
A small number of users have had to disable anti-virus software to Login with Patreon, do not forget to re-enable this afterwards.

If you are having issues with downloading, please try running the launcher as Admin, Disabling your Anti-virus or Firewall. For those who are having issues with the download pausing, this means the download is freezing for more than 60-90 seconds, in this case, please try using a VPN, many users have found using 1.1.1.1 (which is free) has helped. We are working on increasing our download infrastructure to prevent this from happening in the future.

If extraction fails, do not manually extract the game, this will result in the game not working correctly, the launcher has to complete the extraction. If extraction is not working, please try a different location and try running the launcher as Admin.

For the first 24 hours of the month, Patreon processing runs very slow and may not recognize you as a Patron, please wait up to 24 hours and the issue should resolve.
