    Hello, I have already contacted support about this issue, posting here to doublecheck. I have bought the game when it came out, which means I am an alpha tester. Now, what happened is, when I saw that they are giving out the Steam keys to alpha testers, I clicked the link they provided, entered the order ID and ACCIDENTALLY made a new account. This account is manwelb (the one I made by mistake) and my primary one is manwelb6. Then I realized the mistake I have done, logged into manwelb6 and tried to link my account. Now, the thing is, it tells me I need to unlink my old account first and I do not know how to do that. Can somebody help me please?
    Thanks
    -manwelb

    I've merged the accounts; manwelb6 should be working now with Steam and the .drive key.

    Thanks a bunch! I salute you!

    EDIT: Now on this account it tells me that the order ID is already in use by someone else and this problem is being caused because I accidentally entered the order ID in manwelb. My account is basically useless as of now, I cannot download the game nor get a steam key :/
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I have a feeling this is the wrong place to post, but I want to know how to change my account name. I want it renamed to "Kevin Hahn"

    Thanks for any help,

    -Kevin

    There is already a forum account called Kevin Hahn. Merging accounts seems to break things, so I will hold off on doing anything right now.

    Oh! It wasn't made by me! :eek: You could change it to "Kevin_Hahn" rather.
    Also, I'm looking to change the name of my account, not merge with another.

    Thanks for the help, Gabe!

    Kevin

    Edit: Great! Thanks you guys are the best! :D
