Hi Yosh,

Great news - glad to see this game coming along.

Could you clarify whether the pre-purchase will be available through the Steam client alone or will we be able to pre-purchase through other storefronts like the Humble store or Green Man Gaming?

I would also like to know how do I purchase this game as a beta tester when Steam store states that
Rising Storm 2: Vietnam is already in your Steam library
and
Rising Storm 2: Vietnam - Digital Deluxe: According to our records, you already own one or more of the items included in this package on Steam. If purchasing for yourself, you will not receive an extra copy of: Rising Storm 2: Vietnam

Hi Patu,
I believe they are looking into this issue. It is noted on the steam store page as follows:

"PSA - We are aware that many current testers have a warning on purchase

We are looking into it with Valve and hope to have this issue resolved or more information to you shortly."

and

"Follow Up PSA - Pre-Purchase Warning
27 APRIL - [TW]YOSHIRO
For those of you who receive a warning when attempting to pre-purchase the game that states: You already own this product (Rising Storm 2: Vietnam) and will not receive an extra copy.

"Note: You already own the following items in "Rising Storm 2: Vietnam - Digital Deluxe". You will not receive extra copies of these items when you complete this purchase:
Rising Storm 2: Vietnam"

You can safely ignore that warning. We're not removing the beta keys yet, as there will be one more closed beta session - after which we will remove the keys and the warnings will go away. Anyone who has bought the game in the meantime will be just fine! "

Thank you for the opportunity to not only "pre order" this game, but also be a part of the final beta before release. I think it will be a very popular game.

The pre order bonuses are really bad, imo. The DDE is not worth it at all, as DDE, but if you just want to support the devs its ok.

The last time I was this hyped was 2000: for the first game in the Total War series: Shogun. They released the demo months before the game release.
Now Steam has my money and I cannot play. This is even worse than in 2000. :)

Hey everyone! Brand new member here. I've been meaning to buy this game ever since I saw Big Fry stream it and am stoked to have it pre-ordered! I noticed that the most recent announcements were particularly sparse on beta testing information, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Will any new players be added to the 7th wave and if so, do we have to do anything other than purchase the DDE?
