v0.2.0 is now LIVE for Ascended Tier Patrons & above!
🕑 Added 2021-06-01 01:02:19 +0000 UTCWARNING: The launcher has been updated! This update is required and the old launcher will not work. This update comes with three major changes:
- The launcher will no longer replace saves.
- For now the launcher will only open the game install location, you must run - Carnal_Instinct.exe not Carnal_Instinct_ARPG.exe
- The launcher now has the option to reset your Patreon Logon information and reload via the menu
You can find the new launcher here.

Hey all,
It's time for the second update of the month and it's a big, gameplay-heavy one this time around. In addition to gaining access to the first humans available in Sabu, there's a host of new cosmetics, massive gameplay changes, and "quality of life" improvements large and small.
So no more beating about the bush - our lovely ladies can now sport human heads (female) in a range of skin tones. For now this is still done via the equipment-slot system, though we're well into development on more player customisation and fine-tuning, so soon this will be handled differently.

We love to get our supporters involved with development, and this month was no different. Thanks to all those that voted, players can now show the world that they've lain with a Centaur without using their words; our (last minute) vote-winning "leaking creampie" skin is the messy new exclusive content. It's available in a range of tones to pair with the new head cosmetics and features a well-glazed posterior as well as some generous thigh-splatter.

Need more manhood options? We've got you covered. The pulsating, powerful Naga member is now available for those who want a python in their pants. If you prefer more mammalian junk then fear not; we've added two alternate variants of the Equine manhood for your lovers to ride (Plough Horse & Shadow Stallion).

Quest-wise, players can finally complete the second half of Diamond in the Rough and face off against the mysterious Tomb Guardian (Felian included for scale) in the Chamber of Q'Tesh. As usual the world has again expanded and we've upgraded the detail throughout, with the rocks and foliage now sporting a much greater level of visual fidelity with no loss of performance.
Our second Naga, Toses, is now ready for action too - talk with Djeda if you'd like to spend some time with her. ***As of this version Toses sex scene is suspended due to a serious bug, it'll be re-enabled via hotfix in the next day or so (though she has other voiced-content to be discovered by those of a curious disposition).***

So at last we come to our more miscellaneous changes, of which there are many. The improvements range from the new pause menu and additional camera-angles during dialogue to new foot-IK during combat, better grounding the player and improving the look of animations. "Quality of life" changes include better quest-tracking, such as "Follow up Quest" prompts, and weapon switching key-binds (1 and 2 on your keyboard).
We're moving forward at pace now, and the game is starting to really take shape. Thank you so much for your continued support and for helping to make Carnal Instinct a reality. This was a gameplay-heavy update but there's much more R-rated content coming soon.
Team Carnal Instinct

Had the issue with extracting but finally got that to work. Only for it to constantly say I'm not a patron. I've logged in and out, redownloaded the game 3 times, ran as administrator, and yet it still doesn't recognize my account.
vaperino
i had that issue too, i cancelled it and then installed again and it worked the second time
HScorching
Download the files and then look for them in the folder and see if you can extract them on your own.
HScorching
Extract the files and then go to the file folder and click on the app icon.

Hi Arkmoset, For connection and permission issues (0% download/freezing) please see https://www.carnal-instinct.com/support#Launcher Otherwise it appears that when you were stuck downloading 0.1.78 you were an Avatar patron and therefore that was the correct build for your tier. When upgrading there is a delay on Patreon's end before your new tier is passed through to the API. This isn't something we have control over as it's handled by Patreon themselves. If you have future issues please link Discord on your Patreon account and make use of the dedicated Support channels. Alternatively DM us on Patreon. Many thanks, Team Carnal Instinct

Hi JD Sorry to hear you're having issues but the comment section of a post isn't the best place to access support as we're a small team and we provide other dedicated support access; if you link your Discord with Patreon you can access help and support much more rapidly, alternatively messaging us via the Patreon DM system is another option. If the launcher freezes it's a permissions or connection issue - https://www.carnal-instinct.com/support#Launcher provides solutions that resolve the overwhelming majority of issues. Thanks, Team Carnal Instinct

Same here, I got stuck at extracting files too..
Mynt Haven
I personally keep getting stuck at extracting files 50 of 51

Has anyone found a way to get the game to work, I'm all for supporting artists but I'm getting irritated at the lack of response on something that is obviously a big issue.
Same issue. Sometimes the new launcher freezes at 0% download... sometimes it freezes at 0% extraction... sometimes it downloads and extracts, then soft-locks with all buttons grayed out except 'support'. It only downloads version 0.1.78 each time. It refuses to download 0.2.0.

It's stupid, because the old version of the launcher told me that an update was needed. Unfortunately, the new Launcher doesn't work for me because I have an Avatar.
I can run the game via Carnal_Instinct_ARPG.exe just not through the launcher. I have the latest launcher but it only gives me the download option which I have done but it won't give me the Launch Game option. It remains greyed out.
roftar
Thx for your answer, I'll wait for the avatar release.
Carnal Instinct
Exactly this. v0.2.0 was an Ascended-only release and the update arrives for Avatar patrons in a few days. If you can't download v0.1.78 then please link your Discord with Patreon and access the support channel.
Carnal Instinct
Hi Bestrone, You're subscribed at Avatar tier and this was the Ascended tier build. Avatar tier gets the update in a few days.
Carnal Instinct
Hi Bartimus Bard, v0.2.0 was an Ascended-only build and you appear to be subscribed at the Avatar tier. The Avatar build for this month releases in a few days.
Carnal Instinct
Hi OldBurkeEye, You don't appear to be subscribed at a game-access tier and so will not be able to run the game from the launcher.
Carnal Instinct
Hi Apoclost, v0.2.0 was an Ascended-only build. The Avatar build for this month releases in a few days.
i have connected them but dont know how to reach those channels. Thanks for the help i love this game but these missions have my going in circles and i dont know what im overlooking
Carnal Instinct
If you connect your Discord with Patreon you can access the support and spoiler channels.
roftar
If I was able to download the game on the new launcher but the game won't start, is it because I'm an Avatar tier and I need to wait?
i found the guardian already i just cant kill it or find who to talk to to find out
If you remember when you start the mission you go talk to that feline warrior, she tells you her companions were killed by it. The entrance is to the right of her.
been trying for a couple hours and cannot reach the ruins or figure out how to kill the guardian
Any help is appreiated!!
i cant complete tales of the void or diamnod in the rough. i am ata loss trying to figure out how to kill the guardian and reach the anicient ruins
Bestrone
No success downloading the new update. I deleted the old folder and set the download location correctly. It only downloads the v0.1.78 version off the launcher. Once finished downloading, it unzips the file, but I cannot run it off the launcher. The only exe file available in the download is the ARPG version
same
I'm having the same problem as Apoclost. I've downloaded it several times and it won't finish the download, just keeps looping around downloading again.
Apoclost
Hey I am having trouble downloading v0.2.0 it downloads but I cant launch the game it only gives me option to download or login to patreon. Is there a fix or am I missing something??
Carnal Instinct
Unfortunately it's unrealistic for us to get verified exe's as it would require certification which isn't cheap. If you scan with AV you'll be able to see that the download is clean :) Thanks, Team Carnal Instinct
after you've completed "Diamond in the "Rough"" Quest, you can't turn in the Vessel of Q'tesh at the Biig "Balloned" Crocodile? is that on purpose and is that comming very soon or just a bug? o.O
Hi Carnel Team. Would just like to inform you about the installer. It's detected as "Not Safe" when you download it? Is that something you could maybe fix ? It also might make some people very uneasy about downloading it etc :) Great content and great game! :)
Carnal Instinct
Worth checking out locations on the community-run wiki https://transgressor.dev/carnal-instinct/#4/4096.00/4096.00

Spocky
Hello When I try to download the new launcher, I only get the old version 0.1.78 I have to think about whether I will continue to finance this here. I don't say yes about the game, but the launcher should at least be available to everyone at the same time. Thanks and greetings
Brian Killian

Drake Black

Carnal Instinct
Are you running on an old save?
M. Stx
the game is always freezing now whenever i try to save. it's unplayable and i can't progress unless i play without saving. Also, the fight scene with the inquisitor is still pretty buggy. i get dialogue camera as if it's over, but she's still alive and hitting me.
PrinceArjun

I can't launch the game after 3 downloads. Carnal_Instinct.exe is not there. I have searched my entire C drive. Carnal_Instinct_ARPG.exe is there, but Carnal_Instinct.exe is not. Hidden files are visible.
search up carnal_instinct.exe on your home search bar
Download Launcher > Choose Install Location > Download the game (About 2.6GB) > Launch the game (Will open the file location of the .exe) > Click the .exe > Get a boner.
I have never been so frustrated trying to download and run a game. your instructions need to be a lot, lot clearer.
Carnal Instinct
Hi Carlos, You're showing as a $3 Patron which is a support tier that gets discord and NSFW post access but not access to play the game. Game access is available from Avatar level and above. Team Carnal Instinct
Im getting this error myself ''Patron does not have game access" What can I do?
Death's Grim
Anyone know the location to human collar only thing I cant find and can't wait for hot fix
jammraq1

Carnal Instinct
We've pinned down the issue and it should hopefully be fixed today. *boner intensifies*
EnderKaziki
Aw... no Naga sex? *limp dick*
Venom Demme
Eeeeewwww an Ewwwwman. I am not going lie. The progress for the last two months have been very disappointing. Really not feel like I gotten my money worth from this game. Can you make the creampie leak for demon, furry, and dragon as well?
William Klauss
Same here getting 404 Please can you fix it
I haven't seen any new stuff besides the new naga
I picked up the torch but it vanished
Can confirm, the launcher seems broken. Will try again in the morning and give them time to repair.
JWpilot01
I also can't launch the game after downloading twice. The app "Carnal_Instinct.exe" is not showing up anywhere. There is also a 2.7 GB zip file in my games folder marked "0.1.78" that I can't open.
Why can't I launch the game? I've downloaded it 3 times now and it won't let me click the launch button and after the download is complete I'm stuck forever extracting it. It almost looks like a bug as it makes no progress and stays at zero. It says "Extracting Files... Detail to Show actual Progress, Can be set as Dynamic to show actual Status". Anyone else having this issue?
All my saves, gone
stephen jenns
Where would I find the link?
Joe Allison
you can go to the Patreon website and the link is working there
stephen jenns
How do I update the launcher?
Same here
stephen jenns
