Hello all,

Heard about this game from a friend who played a long time ago, so we tried to get the game from the download link on the website and found out that the download is only 113 mb and may be missing the majority of the game files, rendering us unable to play. The whole thing after install is 839mb. Any help with this?

Have you downloaded the game from http://getsetup.alleg.net or a download page?

Try to download from this link, the setup should be 119 MB large.

Does ASGS start if you try to start the game or ACSS?

Downloaded and installed that file you linked, the play offline button still doesnt work, and neither does playing online. The game itself has a problem of somekind, as whenever I try to open the game it crashes.

Does the EXE work from this ZIP file?

Ok, thats solved it. The allegiance.pdb file was comepletely missing from the install files. Maybe that was the problem in the first place? You should get that checked. Thanks for being awesome people! My friend had the same problem.

Actually, I still have this problem (the friend mentioned in Sage's post). The Launcher dies when I try to open it, and Allegiance.exe makes my monitor start a strobe flash party.
Why travel alone in the darkness that is space, when you can have friends to come along?

The pdb isn't requierd to play. Weto currently try to fix several problems, where people say that Allegiance crashes. The new EXE maybe will replace the one which we currently push via autoupdate.

With that file you currently can't play online, till it's on autoupdate...

The new build should fix the issue, if not please start a new topic.
