💡

Wait for the build to finish uploading before continuing. Do not close or switch Tabs to avoid interrupting the upload.

 

Create a Game

Select game platform and executable from dropdown

After your game .zip file has finished uploading, you will be able to select the game platform and executable from the dropdown menu.

  • Windows If you upload a .exe file, it will default to Windows, Select the one that corresponds to the main game executable file. This is the one that will be used to launch your game from the Launcher.

  • Mac If you upload a .app file, it will default to Mac, select the right .app file from the dropdown menu. Then select the inner mac executable. (Usually within .app/Contents/MacOS/<YourGameName>)

Create a Game

After you have selected the game platform and executable, click on "Deploy", select a platform (if applicable, for a universal build), and schedule a build.

💡

If this deploy is an update on an existing supported platform, then the build will be "pending" for a few minutes (depending on the size of your game) while Fractal's servers generate patch files. During this time, you will not be able to edit the pending build or deploy other builds to the same platform.

Done

Congratulations! Your game is now ready to be installed through Fractal Launcher.
