Launcher: "In game" instead of "Play" button

We are receiving reports from players who are unable to start the game using the launcher, seeing an “In game” button instead of “Play”. We are investigating potential causes, but for now you can try launching the game using the exe file.

On a default installation it should be located here:

 C:\Games\Pax Dei\default\game\PaxDei.exe

You will then be prompted to log in directly in game. Use your playPaxDei.com credentials.
