Once again we have managed to stick to a 3-month release cycle. However, once again we had to cut some planned features from this release. Due to our lead designer leaving the project, we have not done much balancing for this release.

Installation

For easiest installation, download the latest version of the launcher:
https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive-Launcher/releases/

Alternatively, download the relevant file above for manual installation.

Thrive system requirements

Windows: Windows 7 or Windows 10. Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable is required. Intel integrated graphics have issues. We might explore another graphics engine change in the near future to resolve this
Linux: glibc 2.29 (you can recompile the game with older glibc). Recent graphics drivers. Nouveau drivers for Nvidia likely don't work.
