A) Concerning Kickstarter:

  • 1) I'm a backer - where do i get my key?
    - How to get your key(s) was posted on the kickstarter webpage:
    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/larianstudios/divinity-original-sin/posts/697369
  • 2) I am a backer and I have two alpha keys. Can I give away my second key?
    - You can give away your alpha key but keep in mind that this key does not give access to the full game yet. This is only for Alpha access so do not advertise it as a full game key when giving it to someone. Full game can only be bought via steam at the moment. People who have bought an early access version there will have the full game automatically on release. Kickstarter backers will get new keys to activate once the game has been released.
  • 3) i'm a backer and i have a question about rewards or my pledge:
    - try searching in our forums or asking other forum members: http://www.larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=cfrm&c=17
    - or contact kickstarter@larian.com


B) Major Technical Issues:

  • 1) the game does not start up at all:
    - check if you have the latest drivers
    - check if you meet the minimum requirements for the game
    - check if the support packages for the game are installed correctly (you can find these in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Divinity - Original Sin\_CommonRedist)
    - if all suggestions above do not help, contact supportdos@larian.com with a report.zip attached from our support tool : http://www.larian.com/OriginalSinAlpha/AnalysisTool_DOS.exe
  • 2) the game starts up but i cannot make a new game (endless loading screen)
    - if you are playing from a 32-bit operating system: try lowering the texture quality and try again.
    - if this does not fix the issue, contact supportdos@larian.com with a report.zip attached from our support tool : http://www.larian.com/OriginalSinAlpha/AnalysisTool_DOS.exe
  • 3)the game starts up and i can start a new game but I am returned to the main menu
    - more debug info has been added to the D:OS client in the current version, which will give us insight into this issue.
    - if you have this, contact supportdos@larian.com with a report.zip attached from our support tool : http://www.larian.com/OriginalSinAlpha/AnalysisTool_DOS.exe
