Automobilista 2 Early Backing Campaign

I've just purchased the early access and tried to activate the software on Steam but it fails with something about configuration. I tried to redo it but then Steam tells me the item is already owned, but nothing appears in my Steam Games list, that I can see.

 

Yes, this confirms the communication to backer/purchasers is inadequate. And that people do not read in forums...

 

Steam tries to initiate installation whenever you add new key, hence the message about failed task 20+ days till beta

 

I just payed on the AMS2 Early Backing campaign. An email from Reiza arrived in the same instant with Keys for AMS2+Season Pass+AMS2Beta and AMS1+Season Pass. Thanks!!

 

I just read the email message again and it clearly says there is no software to install immediately. They'll let us know via email when it becomes available. so, patience.

 

But can I redeem the keys already?

 

Yes.

 

Can we have the official "Beta access" date, I will buy the Early Backing Campaign only few hours before the release.

 

Reiza January 2020 Development Update

 

dont see any official answer to my question

 

If you know you're going to buy it anyway, what's the rationale for waiting?

I mean, you have obviously already decided to support Reiza either way, but if you buy early, you give Reiza more freedom at no difference in outlay for you?

Of course, I obviously respect that since it's your money, it's also solely your decision.

 

I don't now, if this is the correct attitude looking at a baking campaign. Looks more you're trying to gain best package at the latest moment. Well, I don't know what's in your piggybank and therefore please don't take it too seriously. Apologies if I'm wrong.
Advantage on my side as a backer of the first hour, this expense doesn't hurt me anymore and Reiza could have used it in an early state of development.
Most important is AMS2 is getting what it's supposed to be: outstanding and best sim we can get.
Hope you don't miss the date.

 

Another one here...waiting!!!

 

Count me in!

 

already purchased, cant wait to try the beta!

 

Just backed a few mins ago. Can't wait till 15 days from now. I'm so happy Reiza went with the Madness engine instead of UE4. UE4 is such a terrible engine for optimization in racing games. My 1070 struggles to get 2K/60 at high settings, yet PC2 is no issue. AMS2 is basically Project Cars: Brazil edition.

 

Reiza is good at taking another engine and almost perfecting it. The Madness engine has a LOT of potential. VR, graphics, sounds, physics. Just SMS hasn't unlocked it yet. AMS1 was on the rF engine. They did what they could. I'm SO gonna enjoy AMS2 in VR
