Install instructions

Steps for playing the game:

  1. Click on the download button to retrieve the game zip file.
  2. Once the download is completed, unzip the contents using any suitable file archiver software. 
  3. To do this Right Click on the zip file and hover over your archiver software(7-zip, WinZip) option in the menu and choose the extract files/extract here option. (Windows WinRar archiver would also work just fine)
  4. Once it's fully extracted double-click on the file ThePassing.exe to start the game.

Additional Steps if flagged by Antivirus Software:

In some cases, your antivirus software might report the game executable as a false positive. It may delete this particular file which is crucial for proper software execution. Let's see how we can handle this situation.

  1. If your antivirus program displays a warning that says it's risky to execute this application but also allows you the choice to do so, do so. So, kindly, do.
  2. If it deletes the file at launch, turn off antivirus protection for as long as you plan to play, and then download/extract the game contents again. Running the game now should pose no further problems.

Handling Microsoft C++ Redistributable popup:

You might be prompted to install the UE4 C++ redistributable package when the program launches. If this occurs, follow the on-screen instructions to install the package. Additionally, it could be necessary to install some packages after this, for .NetFrameworks. In this case, carry out the installation as instructed. The game will start once it is finished.
