    I bought the $90 package back in December, I saw the trailer and literally said Shut up and Take my money!

    Still no Alpha key yet, I am slightly disheartened that I was promised a June 6th Alpha and now it's hours after getting out of work on the 7th and I still don't have it. I realize there's nothing I can really 'do'. I know that it's just how things are playing out, and I can't hold anything against you guys, all I can really say is please never take for granted the people who helped you get this project off the ground.

    I will enjoy the absolute hell out of the game when I have access and I can't thank uber enough for recreating one of my favorite games of all time. TA and Supcom have both significantly shaped who I am as a gamer and the people at uber are doing FSM's work.

    Now give me an alpha key already!!!! (please)

    Don't worry about it. I'm at the $150 level, confirmed email and everything... haven't heard anything. It'll happen eventually. It's just an alpha, are you really that anxious to see how much work still needs to be done?

    At this point, all the keys bought before today SHOULD have gone out. There might be a few still lingering on the alpha lists, but.. there it is.

    Hello, I backed the game for 90$ on kickstarter and I did not receive an email regarding alpha... (I get the usual kickstarter updates, but no keys). What's going on?

    You guys are champs just for putting up with all the "where is my key" stuff. Personally, I'm IMPRESSED by the state of the game right now.

    Enjoy your weekend :mrgreen:

    I am in Alpha as well, and the lag is terrible. Ended up sending every unit to their death and couldn't stop them, wouldn't respond. Its only alpha so that is expected I suppose.

    But I am playing from Australia, and I am wondering if its the sever ping or something that creates this problem as I have seen youtube video's where the lag is nowhere near as bad.

    Anyways, looking forward to the next updates, Sounds and looks great!

    The FPS that people are reporting that makes the game unplayable, almost never exists for me. Even at 11 FPS, the game still is playable, and why I am starting to wonder if FPS that is being reported is accurate.
    Also, if you notice when FPS/Lag occurs, the explosions still look good and do not lag at all.
    probably because the explosions only exist on my PC, and doesn't have anything to do with the server (server just says explosion occurred there, and it was small)

    One more thing,... it also appears the new build (49186) doesn't have performance degradation as the game progresses like the last build did. It is still there, but just not nearly as bad.

    Just my experience so far....

    I live in Hong Kong, we are in the same boat.
    It was exactly the same deal with Spring RTS (Balanced Annihilation ...): as soon as the bandwidth between you and the hosting server is not enough, lag increases with the number of units, and can even reach a few minutes (ie. few minutes between the moment you give an instruction and the moment it is taken into account).
    I played yesterday on the new server based in Europe, and it was much better than on the US one. However, I cannot tell if the improvement comes from the server location or from optimizations since the last built (not much time to play, so couldn't try on the US server again).

    PS.: I had a lot of fun despite the very limited number of units, lag and low FPS. This game is going to be fantastic :)
