I'm new here

Hello all.

I just bought the game, but now I don't know what can I do. First of all, my PC is a piece of junk and the game runs laggy . Ok, that's not the problem, in the future I will get better, but for now I just wanna to know if I need to do something to be share as a "alpha tester" in the forum, where can I update the game, etc.

Thanks.

EDIT: I realice about the mail activation code and all of this, but for one reason the page is still saying "Your account has already been activated so please try logging in", and I still can't access the forum alpha secction.

 

Link you account to your purchase, and then you will be able to access the forums. The link is in your email.

Edit: If it is actually linked, I should see a badge under your name.

 

I tried it several times and still nothing.

 

Try this there might be some info there on how to sort it out.It seems a lot of people are having this problem.

Theres a few forums there explaining parts have a look

 

Thanks, I will take a look and see what's the problem.

Also, I would like to know if I need to update the game or something, because I see a lot of features and updates all over the forum, but my game looks like the firsr version.

 

Do you actually get on the game? Because the first time you start it up you get asked a question saying would you like to update to '1.5 stable alpha'
and then after that the game loads.If i'm correct it should tell you what version on the main menu on the board?
and for what you see on forum's could be mods or even future updates and future content to be released

 

Oh, now I see! I was running the game with the .drive.exe and not with the luncher.exe . Anyways, my PC is nearlly dead and even my the lowest graphics I play lagged :/

 

what you running? ,if so time for upgrade

 

Maybe new PC time? Beam uses a lot of power. A LOT. My laptop runs Beam at 25 FPS on lowest settings on Pure Grid. My rig runs that same situation at about 95.
