Mine works on GoG.

Is it too late to join into the beta? Lol. Unfortunately, my computer is out of commission until the 22nd at least.

I activated the beta key on my Steam account, but it doesn't appear on my library...

 

Any fix for this?

Same issue as this guy. Steam says the code was activated, but asks to click next to install, and there is no next button only finish, and it does nothing.

Same problem as other users on steam. activates it but dosent show up in library.

Hey guys,

 

We're looking in to the steam issue right now. Sit tight and we'll get back to ya as soon as we can =)

Several other people have mentioned it on this forum thread https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/94238-beta-announcement/page-5?do=findComment&comment=1950433

 

Seems to be a widespread problem.

 

Edit: Ninja'd, gotta love it when devs respond fast

Same issue as many others: activated code=nothing in library, no change.

I hope this gets figured out soon, I was looking forward to spending hours in the generator as always.

Aaaaaaaaand it's work, guys! Gratz all

Issue should be cleared up! 

 

Try restarting steam/inputting your codes again =)

Hi,

i have pledged the game on Fig and have the game in my order history. But unfortunately it does not appear i the "My Products" page

Welcome (you bunch of magnificent) gamers,

 

The Backer Beta is now live! On behalf of everyone here at Obsidian, I want to thank all of you for supporting our project on Fig or through our website. I also want to thank all of you for providing us feedback and helping us clean up the rough edges on this game we have been tirelessly working on. Thank you, truly.

 

The Backer Beta begins with Character Creation. Character Creation in the Backer Beta is unrestricted, allowing access to all races/classes/etc... You then will spawn into the Huana village of Tikawara with a party of level 6 Mercenaries (Fighter, Rogue, Priest, and Wizard.) From here you are free to explore the village or immediately embark on your ship and wander the seas. A quick warning that many of our ships systems are still under construction and are not in the first release of the Backer Beta.

 

Below are instructions to access the Backer Beta (Steam or GOG), content list, big system changes, features not in the backer beta, and links for what to do in the likely event of a bug. This is an early Alpha version of the game, but we wanted to get it into your hands as soon as possible so we can hear what you have to say.

Let the download commence, excited to get my hands on this!

Is the beta only available if you pledged a certain amount? I backed the game on Fig in february, but the only thing showing up on the My Products page is the Tyranny coupon.

You need to have pledge at a $99+ tiers or added the add-on if lower.

Same here FDCage.

OMG Xmas is here already?

So much GB to load … Need more bandwidth.

Sad puppy here. While I backed at the 65$ level + $20 for the DLC, I had long forgotten I was short of having the beta. Ah well, good luck to the testers & its great to see it supports Steam and GOG.

You can still add it to your account as an add-on!

How much does the add on cost? Think I saw someone say that it costs $20. Computer is out of commission until the 22nd at least though......

 

I feel like jumping in on the beta because I wanna help, lol, and other stuff.
