Joining the Beta Test

Commlink may not be as advanced as Genesis yet, but it is ready to be used as a character generation software.

Releases and Updating​

We don't have an auto-updater for the application yet. When you start Commlink, it checks the availability of a newer version and informs you if there is one, but you are required to manually download and install it.

Release notes can be found here. For a comparison with Genesis, check here

Currently Commlink 6 supports:

  • Windows 8 or higher (64 Bit)
  • Linux
  • Android (No idea which versions - successfully tested on 12 and 13)

Known Bugs/Limitations​

  • Android:
    • Exporting to PDF does not really work. The PDF is created, but placing it somewhere it can be accessed due to Android restrictions.
  • The Matrix tab is unfinished yet
  • Rendering a rulebook PDF page is rather slow on some PDFs and has recently stopped working on Windows.
