How can I opt-in to the Multiplayer Beta?
Everyone with single-player Beta access will automatically have Multiplayer Beta access as well as soon as it’s ready, so there’s no action required to opt-in. When the Multiplayer Beta is ready, instructions will be posted to all backers in another Kickstarter update

GOG & STEAM
The Beta is for Steam only. It’s okay if you’ve chosen GOG or Humble for the launch key, you don’t need to change that choice to be involved in the Beta, as long as you’re okay with using Steam for the Beta.

USING A STEAM KEY TO ACTIVATE GAMES
You’ll find instructions here if you need help with Steam: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5414-tfbn-1352
A couple of clarifications: - you need to use the Key in the steam application, not just on the steam web page - you don’t download the game first and then use the key – the key is what lets you download the game

I’d like to upgrade my preorder for Beta Access — How can I do that?
Harebrained Schemes would be happy to upgrade your pledge for you.
Please send them an email at [email protected] and they will send you an invoice to cover the difference between your current pledge and the upgrade.
If you have a PayPal account, please send the email for that. If you do not, please just confirm the email address where you’d like to receive the invoice. A PayPal account is not required to pay the invoice and you’ll have an option to pay the invoice without one.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
