As many of you have noticed by now, keys have gone out to a large number of our backers. Our previous solution for getting out keys was not working, so we instead sent out all the keys we have to backers, and assigned them to your accounts - if you now have keys, you should be able to claim them on your account. If not, you will receive a message indicating that we currently do not have any more keys at this time. Around half of our backers now have access to their keys, and we are currently in contact with Valve with a request for the rest of the keys we need to get everybody in-game. Due to a large influx of backers immediately prior to launch the number of keys we need is higher than we'd initially expected, however we're hoping that we will be able to get the majority of the remainder as soon as Monday. We are speaking with contacts at Valve to expedite this process, but at this time we cannot guarantee that things will be totally sorted on Monday. We'll provide an update then about where we stand for keys.

Some users may experience delays connecting to the site, particularly if they have been refreshing the page repeatedly - this is down to our anti-DDoS protection trying to reduce load on our server - but you should be able to get into the site after a couple of hours when our protections will lift their restrictions on your IP. This will generally only be an issue for users who were repeatedly spamming F5 on our pages, however.

u/metamoth741 I got a simple question: You said that people with buged/dups/revoked key would defently get one without the "first come, first serve"But now people got they key without they got revoked on steam and people which got revoked dident get there key.Could you explain this to me?

That was the plan on the old system we were using. However, as some folks saw when our site briefly went up earlier, that didn't work at all. So we went with something else that automatically assigned keys to people's accounts. Issue is that we unfortunately could not specifically reassign the bugged keys for folks.

It's being slammed by user traffic, but it's still barely limping along.

Were the keys first come first serve, or were they specifically assigned to accounts?

Randomly assigned to accounts.

Neat older backers don't get their keys. I highly doubt 50k players backed a couple of years ago when I backed the game.

Some of our older backers are in game right now, including quite a few Kickstarter and original Indiegogo backers. It was purely random.

what happened to the people that got revoked. i have the entire game pre loaded. i thought people that got revoked we going to get there keys first...

That was originally the plan, but when we changed the method we used to distribute keys that was no longer possible, unfortunately.

It's up, but struggling. If you can't get in right now, take 15 and then try again.

So are people who got duplicate keys going to have to wait until Monday or even later for their issue to be resolved?

Some have keys now. Others will have to wait. We will update on Monday once we know more.

Ho w do you get a key to claim on the site to activate. I thought you get the key on the site which isn't working. Maybe I'm stupid but this makes no sense to me.

The site is working, but it's being hit hard. If you're having trouble connecting, I'd suggest waiting a bit before trying again. If you have keys, they're already yours. There's no need to worry about getting in first.

So everyone who relys on your statement and didnt get one, now need to wait until next week?

Sry to say that, but why this information wasnt direclty communicate? Or much better bevor?

We didn't communicate this earlier because we weren't using the method we're using now at all.
