Download the test client

This is the BattleSwarm test build, not a finished release. New testers can register here while places remain in the initial 50-account batch.

Create your game login

1. Register with your email and a unique password of exactly 12 letters or numbers.
2. Open the verification email, then sign in to the website.
3. Open My account and create your game login. Wait until My account confirms your email login is ready. Use your verified email and website password in the game. Your alternative numeric login still opens the same account.

Already have an assigned tester login? You can keep using it. Existing assigned game accounts are separate from website registrations.

Installation

1. Download the ZIP and extract the entire archive into a short, writable folder path without spaces, such as C:\Games\BattleSwarm. Keep every parent folder name free of spaces too.
2. Open the extracted folder and run Start Game.cmd. Keep all included files together.
3. Select the available test server.
4. Sign in with the email login shown in My account and your website password, or use your existing assigned tester credentials. Allow the game to finish loading, then press Space at the title screen.

If you see “Local PC IP”, close the client and use Start Game.cmd from its folder.

Client closes after login?

A shorter launch path without spaces resolved this during testing. Close the client, move the entire extracted folder to a short, writable path without spaces, then run Start Game.cmd again. This is a tested workaround; the exact path-related cause is still under investigation.

You do not need to reset your password for this workaround. If it still closes, contact support with your installation path and what you saw.

Contact support@playbattleswarm.net for help or to report a problem.

Include what happened, the steps to reproduce it, your client version and a screenshot if useful. Never send your password.
