    Just curious how should we expect to acquire our beta keys tomorrow? Via email?

    You'll probably get it by mail.

    Yes the beta key emails will be staggered across the day tomorrow. Garat said they should all be given out pretty quick. Also remember they will be working on Seattle time (GMT-7).

    Technically, they're on PDT (daylight savings) which puts them at UTC-8 ;)

    Ugh. Timezones. Of course it's actually BST - 8 isn't it.

    I'm going back to bed.

    Ah, you meant -8 FROM BST :D
    I assumed you meant BST was -8!

    My bad, my bad.

    Oh, and I love these new forums compared to how they were when I first joined. It's nice to know when someone replies to you.

    Hey all, will the beta be something that we'll be able to download through Steam or will this be a separate release?

    If you've already paid for your pre-order via the Uber store, you'll need to do a bit of jiggery pokery. If you haven't already bought it, I do humbly request that you buy it direct from their store and then then convert it to a steam key, as this makes sure they get 100% of the sale.

    Alpha got released early, however it should be exact same time this time around.

    You get a key from that store link he posted up there. You can convert that to a steam key through the same page. Activate the key to your account, and the generated steam key through steam.

    Then, all should download and autoupdate, and you should be able to join game if your computer allows.
