    Zed Well it is not really in yet. It is more like you can pause the game by pressing the ESC button. The real pause should as you mention allow players to stack orders when the game is paused and no game menu... ;)

    Well I check if I can get some more keys for you.

    thormo: Are crash reports automatically provided by Steam, or do I send them somewhere (if so, could you kindly point me to where the reports are saved?).
    I can't get the current Alpha build to launch on Windows Vista. The only error message I receive is from Windows telling me that he program is not functioning.

    Hi,

    We get them from Steam but in order to help you it is best if you post them on our forums.

    The best way to get the game working is to:
    1) Run windows upate (you need thhe DX11 and som vcredist to be installed)
    2) Check for the latest GFX drivers

    All settings aren't in yet so some resolutions might cause issues.

    Btw all of you that have gotten keys check this thread: http://forums.fatshark.se/showthread.php?tid=2409

    You can get a lot of help there if you have any issues or wonder how stuff work!

    I am uploading a new build right now. I realized the current build was older than I thought Zed.

    Nice. I played some last night, even took some sreenshots, that I'll try to post later this night. Did some of the first quests, incluiding the mandatory "rats in the basement" one. Combat was really easy, even without the pause button...then I went into the wild, and got raped by the first random encounter of wolfs. Not that it was hard, but they did a lot of damage, and without pausing I was slow to even find the "cure" ability and then the "tank" died, and the rest soon followed.

    I though of doing a Let's Play, but I'm not sure if that's advisable in a pre-alpha game...maybe just some screenshots and a first impression will do better...

    Also, one suggestion: I have no idea if WASD is gonna be used elsewhere, but if not, could you make it so it moves the screen? Since 2 of the characters are ranged, it's good to be able to quickly move the camera.

    Hi,

    In fact the build is so early and have so much mockup stuff I would prefer to do that a bit later. Hopefully you can do something with the build that is uploaded to Steam right now. The connection to Steam seem a bit so so right now and the current build is quite huge as it contains a lot of the assets for the full game(The pre-alpha is just a fraction of the world and currently lack quite a few core features coop, stores, hospitals, main story, most of the quests chains, inhabitants(NPCs with different tasks, fishers, farmers etc)).

    As you mention the balancing is a bit off in that build. ;)

    The build is art Steam for deployment. It is quite a huge update so I dont want you to start download the old version just to be hit by a 4 GB new version.

    Be sure to post your impressions after you play it, folks, so that this alpha-testing isn't for nothing. ;)

    Feel like taking a key but I think others are more qualified to "test" the game right now.

    Managed to snag one of the keys, thus forcing me out of lurkdom.

    Played it to "completion", i.e. till no further quests where available (or bugged out) and all locations visited. I thoroughly enjoyed the basic mechanics of it but a pause function is definitely needed, also should we post feedback here or on your forum?
