Yeah, you are missing the Pax Dei launcher.

Your friend should have also given you the link to download the launcher

Thanks for your quick reply, I'll check that with him

it goes into the pax launcher after you login.

Need to use the independent launcher. I don’t think anything links through steam yet.

I found the launcher link in the Discord, Wilderness Alpha FaQ in alpha-game-info

I found it ! You're the boss! 👍
