Over seven months of agonizing waiting is soon over. Within hours from now I can start taking every wrong turn in the D:OS alpha and contribute to Larian making a world-class game!
Santa DOS is coming to town!!!
BAAH!

Just remember when it becomes available you still have to download it  They need a way to magically make it insta appear on the computer

Perhaps 7-10 GB? Hmm, let's hope Steam don't make this appear at 1900 hours CET like they usually do. I want to start downloading sooner.

Thanks ForkTong: also, sorry but after a while I had to leave the "ready for alpha?" livestream. Is this the updated build which Swen showed us at the beginning (before eventually switching to the older one), now with some fixes? The one published today will be the only alpha build we'll be able to play 'til beta, or you'll push out other updates to the alpha? Thanks!

David/Larian: Another question - personally, I will give the alpha some tough love, doing weird stuff, taking wrong turns, sneaking past choke points, see if triggers get skipped, that sort of thing. But say that a player really plays the game and enjoy their solo character, will that save game work at all when it turns into beta or even 1.0? Or is the Alpha save games a constant wipe kind of thing?

Character saves will be whiped when the game really ships. between alpha and beta? I suppose that they would work during the whole alpha and beta stage.

Could buyers of the duo pack possibly get two alpha keys? I've been looking forward to playing the alpha with my partner but since we pledged together we only have one alpha access available at the Vault. We have no reason to complain in either case since we weren't supposed to get the alpha to begin with, but you can't help feeling a little disappointed.

Savegames will not be compatible throughout alpha versions. We'll only support savegame compatibility in beta or release. So even if you save now, if alpha gets updated, your savegame will probably not work anymore.

I think during twitch q/a they said initially multiplayer would not be enabled and they would not give out both keys. The implied (my interpretation) is later on in the beta they will provide the second key when multiplayer is enabled. Could buyers of the duo pack possibly get two alpha keys?

If Larian gets the installer to work, then it could be a question of just an hour from now, but that's just me guessing wildly based on patterns on Steam (and hoping, really).

I can't wait for the co-op. Then I can scream like a little boy... After finals tomorrow night. I think I'm going to cry. I hate studying. Does anyone live in New Jersey that I can pay to pass my final while I play games? You only need to know things like resistance, Thevenin Theory, voltage, current, circuits, oscilloscopes, etc.... Fun and easy stuff!!

Mine was at 3.7GB total but just went up to 4.0GB total - I guess Steam has trouble estimating the size of the package or something... maybe... EDIT: Apparently a bunch of people have better internet than me (at ~1MB/s here), although at least I'm better off than poor Kein there with around half that...

Bad luck - you'll get access to the Beta when they release co-op, but maybe you can persuade your friend to let you play? EDIT: Anyone finished the download yet?

One key per Backer. That was Swen Vicke said.
You could have read this in the forum or here it multiple times in the livestream in the kickstarter comments etc.
I think all should be grateful that Larian is doing this and not be pissed that they dont get a whole arm when Larian offered just a finger.

Is this the updated build which Swen showed us at the beginning (before eventually switching to the older one), now with some fixes? While they were playing the older build, programmers fixed some issues with the new build, and towards the end of the twitch session they switched to that. There were still a couple issues remaining, so the alpha is an update of the update of the updated build at the start of the twitch session.

I would never normally play an alpha version, and I don't have or particularly want a Steam client. Even so, I have to admit that I'm sorely tempted after everything I've seen of the game so far.
On the other hand... if someone asks nicely enough, I might be persuaded to hand my alpha key over to them. If anyone's interested, PM me - first come, first served (though it's nearly 1am here so it may not happen until tomorrow morning). If no one's interested, I'll just keep the key for myself and decide whether to use it later.

Backers that have a duo pack only receive one Alpha key. We might change that once the cooperative mode is active in the Alpha build, but that is still to be decided.
Hopefully, it gets remedied soon. If you shared the expenses in buying the duo pack, it really is unfair on your part.
