Hello everyone,

We here at Tripwire Interactive and Antimatter Games know that many of you are geared up and ready to jump into the next beta wave, so here is the news you’ve been waiting for: Closed Beta Wave 7 starts next Thursday, May 11th. As always, we’ll let everyone know when the servers are open on the day, so stay tuned via email, forums and discussion groups.

Everyone who already has a beta key will be able to join the test (no purchase required) as always. We will be sending out new beta keys to those on the original RS2: Vietnam mailing list who haven’t had one yet. In addition, expect some of our business partners to be giving out additional beta keys.

The only other way to get in on CB7 is to pre-purchase the game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/418460/Rising_Storm_2_Vietnam/

Everyone who has pre-purchased the game already, or does so before the test closes, will be able to get in on it.

Now as a reminder, current testers and pre-purchasers will not be able to launch/install the game until Closed Beta 7 starts (or shortly before).

We will also be streaming the game and answering game related questions from our Twitch account https://www.twitch.tv/tripwireinteractive as Closed Beta 7 starts! So come on in and hang out with us in the Stream as we answer questions from the community!

Last but not least, as part of this closed beta we will be making the server files available for Admins to test and host servers with. We will be making the usual rounds early next week with more information about that (so keep an eye on announcements and/or HLDS mailing list).

Thank you!

Hello everyone!

We here at Tripwire and Antimatter have been so excited watching fans decide to run through the jungle with us now that the pre-purchases are available!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/418460/

Starting with the most popular question we keep seeing:


A: We believe we will have the date locked down for when Closed Beta Wave 7 will be able to start by the end of this week, so keep an eye out for that announcement! And once again, this beta will be open to all current beta testers as well as anybody who has pre-purchased the game. There will also be more keys sent out into the wild (and later an open beta) so keep your eyes peeled!

We’ve also seen several recurring questions pop up that have answers but we want to get them all in the same place. Starting with the purchase issues for current testers:


A: Until the next playtest (unless you choose to pre-purchase) the beta package has been removed to try and stop some of the errors below from happening. It will show back up for the next playtest so no need to to panic! For those who have pre-purcashed you will not be able to install until the beta package is active again.



A: You can ignore it and safely make your pre-purchase.


A: If the game will not let you purchase it for yourself you can buy it as a gift and activate it from your inventory.

Thank you all for choosing to be a part of this exciting moment for us.

We are still tracking another pre-purchase issue where Steam is not allowing some other beta particpiants from buying at all (even with a warning).

For now you can work around this by buying the game as a gift and activating it from your inventory into your account. We are continuing to look into why this is happening.

The beta is currently not running and no players have access to the beta at this time. When the beta starts back up that will change.

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!

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