PZ-F.3D Online
Your story starts here.
One launcher for your account, game updates and survivor. The PZ-F.3D Client Launcher 0.9.5 is out for Windows and Linux, built for PZ-F.3D Online: Realm - 001. It fixes survivor actions that were disabled and the stuck World Access Pending label: Delete now works on its own, New Character, New Survivor and Continue prepare the signed client before entering the server, and installed clients stay visible if a policy refresh fails. Launchers 0.9.0 and later update themselves to 0.9.5 through the signed launcher channel.
Windows x64 and Linux x64. Future launcher updates are under Settings → Launcher updates. Realm - 001 is an invite-only private pilot: accounts at accounts.fadedmods.com are by invitation only. World entry opens when the realm is ready; publishing the launcher does not mean the realm is open. The launcher is also on the PZ-F.3D page of the Faded Mod Installer.
