go into system settings -> security -> scroll all the way down -> you should see a pop up that says like “oh we can’t detect clangen waaah” and select open anyways
If you're on mobile, you can play the online web-site version, but I'm pretty sure it's broken atm. Some ppl are saying it just takes a while to load but I'm not a patient person and haven't figured out if that's true yet. 🫠
hey, I'm unsure what version of windows I have, but when I go to open the file, it just gives me a list of like assets of something? I've tried all 3 windows files there are, and all the same thing. I don't understand?
Hey, when I used the online version, it just showed a black screen and won't even load at all, is it a glitch? Cause it happens whenever I change the settings for it.
it'll show the opening tab and it'll show the game choice and the folder for applications but the game choice has a circle and a line one bit like i can't play it.
Hey, I'm on mobile and every time I make a new clan it shuts down my game for like 12 days ._. Ive been trying to turn it back on for a week now and every time it just stays a black screen and does nothing. Any solutions/suggestions/similar problem?
Not sure, there are only a few devs who work on the web version and it’s been broken for at least a few weeks, so it will probably be a while unfortunately.
hello, im a bit confused on how to download this it says i have it in my downloads but it dose not let me do any thing with it nor can i extract it. can someone please help
I think there is technically a way to download on Android but it's not recommended. Better to stick to a computer if possible; it's a heck of a lot easier and less convoluted.
ain’t no way I got a fresh clan and now I got 12 pages of cats no joke. bro I can’t even move why is this happening is there a way to delete a clan or just live with it. even outside the clan at the main menu I’m frozen why. or how do I overwrite it, just making a new clan.
Um, is it intentionally or a mistake that I can make dead cats mates??? I just realized I could do this...Yeah, my StarClan cat and DF cat are mates now??? Can they have kits????
you can, i consider it a roleplaying option and no they cannot have kits once they are dead. (as far as i am aware) for example if you want to roleplay it as 'these two cats were mates in life and were separated in death by their actions in life, they still meet up and the starclan border and consider eachother mates even now'
Hi! I've been playing for a couple days now and the cats recently encountered events that put them into shock. It says they've been hurt for "1 moon" but it's been several moons now and they're still in a state of shock and can't be used for patrols. Is there something I'm needing to do, is it oddly timed out, or did a bug happen? It's been 13 moons for three cats and 11 for the other.
Even when sending out patrols to gather herbs and they bring back the one that specifically says it helps cats with shock, they never get better. Could it be because I'm playing Classic Mode?
yup- classic mode cats aren't meant to have conditions. There was a bug that would give them the shock condition, and because classic mode isn't supposed to have conditions, they can't recover. I'd suggest joining the discord to ask for help removing the conditions.
Could someone help me find the game in my files pls? I found the executable file on my pc, it is called 'clangen' with a paper plane icon, it asked me if I wanted to execute the file, I clicked the execute button but it wouldn't do anything. (I'm on a raspberry pi 4 with linux 32-bit OS) Someone pls help me I've tried looking it up everywhere but nobody on the internet has posted anything about it for Linux
Is it possible to play on a chromebook? I've tried to download it but when I try to play it says that it is not compatible with chrome OS, I really enjoyed playing on my old pc and would like to on this one. Please help if possible.
it is fully possible! we have instructions in our discord server and tech support on standby to help walk people through the process. i highly recommend popping in!
Won't let me download this game on mac because my laptop says, "Apple cannot download this app because it cannot scan it for malicious software" is there any way to download it? or can I just not play it?
For some reason my computer says the download is a virus, and doesn't let me even open it. Know anything the can have? btw I have a elitebook 8470p compute
hey, I'm having trouble downloading the game as when I download the games it just takes me to the file used to code the game, and this really upsets me because I wish to play the not online version, but the file downloads are just not working, please help.
Hey! I just noticed the kit I have in my clan is paralyzed, and it just reached 6 moons, but won’t at all become anything other than elder. No matter how many times I refresh the game by leaving without saving and trying to reroll a response again, it’s always that they’d rather retire. I think this is a bit unfair and ableist, and that even if they can’t contribute as a warrior, they should still have the ability to atleast become a meditator, or become a apprentice without the ability to go on patrols, such as just helping around camp. It’s just kind of upsetting to see disabled cats being treated with the same ableism as in the books, it’s not fair to force them into retirement the second they are apprenticed. This isn’t a attack btw, I totally understand it’s just some pixels and that it’s not a big deal, i just felt I should share my feedback on this cause I find it sad that the stereotype of disabled people not being helpful is being implemented in a lot of my favorite stuff. :’) love this game though! This won’t stop me from playing, I really like clangen and I’ve been playing for like months, it’s a really fun game and I look forward to any future updates!
there's actually a setting that prevents cats from retiring because of permanent conditions, and another one that allows retired cats to become mediators. i believe that retired cats with no "titles" still help around the camp as well. one of the kits in my save was born with lower body paralysis and retired as soon as he aged up, but had the description "camp keeper". also, some disabled cats don't retire. iirc i've had cats develop vision impairments or lose a tail/limb and still be able to go on patrols and such. ^w^
Can confirm, I have a cat who was born paralyzed and when he aged up he retired but his description was "Excellent kitsitter" and he ended up becoming mediator. I've also had blind cats, deaf cats, cats with missing limbs/tails, cats with seizures, etc. all be able to go on patrols. I had a deaf leader once too!
THANK YOU!!!! I’m so glad there’s a option to stop this cause it made me so upset that my cat had to retire the second she turned into a apprentice, it’s like her childhood was being taken away which not fit with my storyline that I made at all.
Some anti-viruses delete stuff that they believe is a virus, so turn off you anti-virus before you download the game and then download it. Also try searching ".exe" in the file so that you don't have to sift through the files. Hope this helps :]
Hello! I'm on windows 11 and whenever I try downloading this game all it does it take me to my files to look at other files- This is quite confusing. Is there a way to handle it?
Turn off your anti-virus before downloading the game since some anti-viruses delete the program thinking it's a virus, even though it's not. Then once you've downloaded the game, search ".exe" and look for the Clangen.exe program and run it, then you should be all good! Hope this helps :]
Turn off your anti-virus since some anti-viruses delete stuff they think are viruses, even though they aren't. Then search ".exe" in the file and run the Clangen.exe program. If you are having another problem then please say so :]
is there a way to download the game on a Chromebook because ive tried to look up tutorials but nothing really worked and if possible id like to play the non web version?
Hi could the online game be fixed plz cause it isn’t working and I love playing it also could you make it not lose the cats you have made a clan with on it too?
Yeah, the web version isn't exactly programed to support mobile devices. I've heard that they are currently fixing the web version quite a bit but I'm still not sure if it will support mobile devices, sorry :'(
Hello I have been playing the online version of clan gen on my phone since I don’t have a computer. It hasn’t been working since I got the latest Apple iOS update a few months ago. It just shows a blue screen and won’t load. I’m wondering if this error is just on my end or if multiple people are having this problem. I love this game and would like to get back to playing it, so any help would be great.
hi, I am an avid fan of the game and I downloaded the most recent update today, but I haven’t been able to play it for longer than 10 minutes! I exited the game to check on something, and suddenly I couldn’t open it again. An error message keeps coming up, saying that it’s open when I know it’s not, cause I shut the computer down and restarted it. I went to my brother who is much better with computers than me, and he tried a bunch of things and said that it probably is something wrong with the code. I don’t mean to point hands or be rude, but could you please check things over with the game? I really want to be able to play again, and I would be sad if I couldn’t.
this is probably on your end and not ours. I know a glitch was happening a while ago where the game would get stuck half-open and cause issues. Sounds like this might be a reoccurrence of that. I'd suggest joining the discord to get tech help :)
looks like thats a chromebook from a cursory google search, which we do support! i suggest heading onto our discord server for installation instructions, we have tech support there to help walk you through it too if you need!
So, um I am having trouble with the game loading. I have deleted and redownloaded all the files. I've tried all of them. I have even tried all of them at once. Can you please help me?
There is a tech support channel in the discord server and there should be a lot of people able to help with problems like yours, so I suggest going there :]

how do i play after downloading? :) (im on windows 11 btw)
Go into files, right click on the zip file, press Extract, once it's extracted go into the uncompressed folder and double click on 'clangen.exe'
i tried but it didnt work for me
How did it not work for you?
my computer says you need to update it bc it can't search it plz fix this ty
go into system settings -> security -> scroll all the way down -> you should see a pop up that says like “oh we can’t detect clangen waaah” and select open anyways
How do I even play the game after dowloading it
when you download, you should get a .zip file. right-click and press "extract all", then go to the not-.zip file and find clangen.exe and play.
Im on mobile.. I dont understand?
sadly, the game doesn't work on mobile atm
If you're on mobile, you can play the online web-site version, but I'm pretty sure it's broken atm. Some ppl are saying it just takes a while to load but I'm not a patient person and haven't figured out if that's true yet. 🫠
Can you get clan gen on Chromebook?
yes, there should be instructions in the discord
Ok, but i do not have access to discord
hey, I'm unsure what version of windows I have, but when I go to open the file, it just gives me a list of like assets of something? I've tried all 3 windows files there are, and all the same thing. I don't understand?
you have to find the Clangen.exe file! it should be in there somewhere :)
Hey, when I used the online version, it just showed a black screen and won't even load at all, is it a glitch? Cause it happens whenever I change the settings for it.
The web version is currently broken
its not! it just takes a while to load :)
you may just have to reload the website :)
I am, it just shows a black screen.
And I reloaded it 3 times already.
huh, maybe its loading? idk
The same thing happens to me on my iPad, and I don’t think it’ll be fixed anytime soon
It won't let me play it after downloading on my mac.
right click open and make sure it's in your applications folder :)
It lets me open it in applications but it won't show where to play it.
if it opens you should be able to play it? if you keep having issues you might want to join discord so you can send screenshots
it'll show the opening tab and it'll show the game choice and the folder for applications but the game choice has a circle and a line one bit like i can't play it.
I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what you're talking about- is it possible to send a screenshot, either here or on discord?
How to add things to cats history
There is a second tab underneath it, where you can out notes/write history. Just press the little check mark to write and save
ty
i appreciate the help
Hey, I'm on mobile and every time I make a new clan it shuts down my game for like 12 days ._. Ive been trying to turn it back on for a week now and every time it just stays a black screen and does nothing. Any solutions/suggestions/similar problem?
Well I don't think the games fit to run on mobile? unless they've added it very recently
Yeah, the web version is not made to support mobile and the devs are not planning on making an app anytime soon, sorry be the bearer of bad new :[
Unfortunately, if you're using the web version it's currently broken.
Oh, Ty! That explains it. Do you know when it will be back up?
Not sure, there are only a few devs who work on the web version and it’s been broken for at least a few weeks, so it will probably be a while unfortunately.
its not, it just takes a long time to load
you can’t download the newest version but you can get a version that isn’t as good but still the same mechanics
how do you get it
is there a way to download on iPad or is that not possible
no, Clangen cannot be downloaded on an iPad, and there are no plans to make it a mobile game anytime soon.
hello, im a bit confused on how to download this it says i have it in my downloads but it dose not let me do any thing with it nor can i extract it. can someone please help
Same!
Try redownloading, you should be able to extract it and play. If you still can't figure it out, join the Discord server.
Drag it out of the downloads onto your desktop, then right click and look for extract all, idk what else could be wrong :P
I really love that they added family trees and more backgrounds! I really love the game! I hope you can add more soon!
veo que esta la opción en español pero no se implementa, hay algún estimado para verlo en accion?
¡Hola! Podría ser capaz de ayudarte. ¿Puede decirme qué está pasando?
A pesar de seleccionar el idioma en español, el juego sigue en ingles
Hola, espero que estés bien. Como se mencionó anteriormente en la pagina del juego, esta función aún no ha sido implementada.
Can this be downloaded on Android or is this only for computers?
I think there is technically a way to download on Android but it's not recommended. Better to stick to a computer if possible; it's a heck of a lot easier and less convoluted.
can you tell me a way to download it on android
Unfortunately no, because I don't know how :)
oh ok that’s fine
ain’t no way I got a fresh clan and now I got 12 pages of cats no joke. bro I can’t even move why is this happening is there a way to delete a clan or just live with it. even outside the clan at the main menu I’m frozen why. or how do I overwrite it, just making a new clan.
go into your switch clan screen and click the X next to the clan name. That should delete it.
alternatively, dead cats create much less lag and problems than living cats, so you can go on a killing spree and that might also help.
Um, is it intentionally or a mistake that I can make dead cats mates??? I just realized I could do this...Yeah, my StarClan cat and DF cat are mates now??? Can they have kits????
you can, i consider it a roleplaying option and no they cannot have kits once they are dead. (as far as i am aware) for example if you want to roleplay it as 'these two cats were mates in life and were separated in death by their actions in life, they still meet up and the starclan border and consider eachother mates even now'
but that is up to you
thanks! I was so confused :(((

Ah okay! Thank you!
this happened to me too, xD i just retired them since they were fairly old
Is there a way to make clanmates kill each other?
Click the cat you want to kill, go to the tab marked "Dangerous" and click "Kill cat".
make sure your killer is bloodthirsty, make them hate each other via a mediator, and then hope for the best. Murder is a lot of rng
how do I make them hate each other using a meditator? I’m really confused. I have a meditator, but I can’t change any relationship with different cats
there's a little symbol above the mediator if you look on the Cat List. If you click it, it'll let you sabotage or mediate 2 cats' relationship.
Thank you!

Please join the Discord server for tech help.
Ask on the discord and people should be able to help you download the game.
How do download this on a chromebook?
If you go to the discord you should be able to find some help on how to download the game.
Is it possible to play on a chromebook? I've tried to download it but when I try to play it says that it is not compatible with chrome OS, I really enjoyed playing on my old pc and would like to on this one. Please help if possible.
Chrome-OS is made for prisons (uhhh schools I mean) aka it only runs webpages. Try a homebrewed console or windows/mac/linux pc
this is false - chromebooks absolutely can run clangen, and by extension any other game that has linux compatibility (from my understanding)
it is fully possible! we have instructions in our discord server and tech support on standby to help walk people through the process. i highly recommend popping in!
Won't let me download this game on mac because my laptop says, "Apple cannot download this app because it cannot scan it for malicious software" is there any way to download it? or can I just not play it?
try this; https://it.nmu.edu/docs/allowing-third-party-applications-install-macbook#:~:tex...
you don't necessarily need to do what the other commenter recommended - right-click the file and try to open it from the context menu that pops up
Thank you!
For some reason my computer says the download is a virus, and doesn't let me even open it. Know anything the can have? btw I have a elitebook 8470p compute
i can't update it to v0.8.7 for some reason? It just kinda stays at 0% for hours on end, I've never had any problems with updating the game before
is the online version going to get updated soon? i cant play the downloaded version cause of issues with my macbook, so i'm just wondering!
what issues are you having? is it popping up an error or something?
hey, I'm having trouble downloading the game as when I download the games it just takes me to the file used to code the game, and this really upsets me because I wish to play the not online version, but the file downloads are just not working, please help.
are you opening the clangen application? you have to scroll down a bit
i fixed it thank you

yes, you can play the game on Chromebook! There are detailed instructions and tech help on the discord :)
ohh okay tysm! i joined the discord at some point i didn't think of that:)
also just by the way is it in the dev ver tech help section? or am i just missing it
no, it should be in the pins for one of the tech support channels. They got a revamp recently so it might be in pins for an archived channel.
Hi could the online game be fixed plz cause it isn’t working and I love playing it also could you make it not lose the cats you have made a clan with on it too?
The web version is quite glitchy since it isn't maintained as much as the downloadable game. I suggest you just download the game instead.
oh I can’t cause I play on ipad
Yeah, the web version isn't exactly programed to support mobile devices. I've heard that they are currently fixing the web version quite a bit but I'm still not sure if it will support mobile devices, sorry :'(

Okay thank you for the info.
how do you update it online for apple iPad? Please answer soon, I love this game so much!
This game doesn't really work on mobile devices, plus the web version is kinda glitchy atm, sorry :[
There is! If you join the discord you can ask in the tech-support-other and you'll get help with downloading it! :)

this is probably on your end and not ours. I know a glitch was happening a while ago where the game would get stuck half-open and cause issues. Sounds like this might be a reoccurrence of that.
