windex Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Yeah, me too I'd like a key to add to my steam account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls35a Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Yeah, me too I'd like a key to add to my steam account. Yes, me also. I have never had a Desura account and haven't seen a build since, well a long time ago. It locked up my PC so I decided to wait until it was further along. Looking forward to seeing this.

GR00V3R Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Congrats on this achievement, Chris et al. Releasing on Steam will no doubt be a HUGE moment for you all. Your success is well deserved -- Xenonauts is well on its way to being a truly great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plastikman Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I think I'll wait till the steam release and forget about desura all together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knox1776 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I too am glad to see you have reached the Steam milestone. I can't wait to convert over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acosta Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I cant even use Desura or get on there site, thank god for steam!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmileyO'brian Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Just pre-ordered the game on Desura. I wanted to wait until the Steam release, but I couldn't. I have a question (it might be a stupid question that was answered already): once the game is released on steam, how will I be able to play the game on Steam (which I prefer) and not Desura? And how do I get a "standard pre-order" forum badge since I pre-ordered on Desura already? Sorry if these questions seem dumb and have already been answered.

GizmoGomez Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 You will be given a Steam key for the game, once it's released on that platform. Here's where you can learn how to claim the badge. http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/145-How-to-claim-your-Pre-Order-forum-badge%21 Some advice, there is a search box at the upper right of the page, it can be very helpful for finding topics and answering questions in the future.

I don't want to install yet another client on my PC (especially one I'll never use) just to get a forum badge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cane Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Any idea when we will receive the steamkeys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 As soon as I can. It looks like it'll be after we go live, but I doubt it'll be more than a day or two. I'm still not fully familiar with the Steam backend, as it is pretty complex in parts.... heretically, I almost wish we were still using Desura!

Connecting your account doesn't require installing the client. Edited May 29, 2013 by Dranak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ls35a Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) You can get the badge without installing Desura. Connecting your account doesn't require installing the client. I'm getting this message: "It appears you do not have a copy of Xenonauts on your ls35a account. You can purchase a copy of Xenonauts for your account, via the links on the right. Once you have activated a copy via Desura, you will be able to return here and send your account details to the official developers. Thanks for your support." Well this is a problem. Yes, I pre-ordered and paid for this. I have all my emails from Amazon and kickstarter, I paid the 20 bucks. But I don't have a key anywhere. Any suggestions?

Chris Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 You will have been sent a Desura key to the Kickstarter email address. You need to use that to add Xenonauts to your Desura account first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 @Chris, Any ETA on these keys for KS backers?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunsnbunsN Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I would also like a steam key, uninstalled the Desura version a few days ago already. Can test installation in OSX and Linux, if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I am a member of another forum and I believe that the board members will be happy to hear that Xenonauts will be on Steam. I hopes of being as accurate as possible, how should I relay this news? Would is be correct to say that the beta of Xenonauts will be available on Steam on 5/31/2013? Will it be a paid beta? Will they have to pay for it on Desura first (like I did) or can they buy (and gain access to the beta) it on Steam, which would function as their pre-order? Thanks in advance.

Chris Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 I've just got V18.52 HF3 running on Steam and it seems everything is going to plan so far, though I'm still not sure how to get the keys required. I'll write a bigger post later with all the details about what is happening, so perhaps hold your fire for a day or two, Sean...but in short you'll be able to buy it directly on Steam and it'll still be a paid beta like on Desura.

ls35a Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 You will have been sent a Desura key to the Kickstarter email address. You need to use that to add Xenonauts to your Desura account first! I have an email which reads: "Thanks for backing our project on Kickstarter! This key will give you access to the pre-order builds for Xenonauts until the game is released, at which point you'll be given the choice of whether you would prefer a key for a different service (Steam, Gamersgate etc)." But there IS NO KEY IN THAT EMAIL. So how do I get a key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shagrost Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 So, should I wait for the release of the next couple of hours, or I can go to sleep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
