Installations FAQ
Work in progress.
This is a page for, (you guessed it), questions about installing Thrive. You might first want to check out How to download.
++ Questions
- How do I open the file?**
The easiest way to play Thrive is to use the launcher, please see How to download. If you manually download the files you must unzip it and then you'll get a folder. In this folder there should be one called "bin." In here there should be a file called "thrive." Double click on this and Thrive should start.
- I open the file but it asks what to run it with?**
If you have this problem it is probably better to use the launcher. The thrive releases are compressed with 7-zip which you need to uncompress the releases.
- It tells me some files were modified, if I want to move them to archive and the screen goes black when I choose a render to use.**
You probably haven't unpacked the zip file. You need to make you extract the file first.
I hope we've solved your problem so you can enjoy the game. If not post your problem on our subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/thrive or our community forums at https://community.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/
