*** EDIT ***

The process of redeeming a Steam key has been changed because of the new site design. Please see the new instructions here:

Happened to me too Ozone. I used the reset password button on the account I just created, then used the new password and it worked.

Ian: I sent an email explaining precisely what steps I did to get into that corrupt account.

Cauldyth: Thank you, it actually worked perfectly. I got my Steam key :)

I also had to reset password to get the sliterine site to work. The password worked neither for login or serial input.

After resetting I changed back to my original password, and I got my steam serial.

Maybe the register page truncates passwords longer than 8 or 10 chars, or something?

I manage to somehow log on despite the website saying my "current" password is wrong. But I manage to snatch up the Steam Code.

I will eventually come back and try to fix my password but for now I am a happy camper!

P.S. I feel bad for anyone not getting from Matrix just cause we get it earlier.

Thanks DW team for the step by step guide.

Yup, it also did the same thing to me. I had to make it generate me a new random password and email it to me. Once I logged in with that everything was fine.

To register your serials & redeem your steam keys please go here

Once you have registered a serial a button will appear to generate a Steam key. Click the button and the page will update to show your key. This page will track all the Steam keys you have redeemed.

THIS DID NOT HAPPEN.

Sorry mate, but no pop up, nothing. The game registered itself upon purchase and there was nothing in the email about STEAM key. I cannot find any information on the members page about it either.

Please advise.

Please note the Steam key redemption is through the Slitherine site, not the Matrix Members Club. Sorry for the extra step, but it's where we had the system setup for previous releases.

The Slitherine site seems to be borked. Gave me the corrupt profile error as well, I have tried to reset password but I can't even open the website at the moment, it just hangs.

Hi Jiminy,

Might be worth trying again - I just tested and it came up for me, so it may be having some intermittent load issues.

Regards,

- Erik

Me #15. Registered for a new slitherine account (to go along with my matrix, matrix club, matrix forums, plimus accounts, several with different emails, because not every system accepts a "+" symbol in an email). Tried to register my serial. No dice. Finally reset my password, and the Slitherine system was happy, so I was able to get a steam code that works.

Registered and entered in the serial number - NO EFFING POP UP! Nothing. Just updated the page and nothing. :( At this point I am become very frustrated with this entire process.

It took the system a while to update but the key is in the STEAM KEY's section of their site if you ever need to find yours. It didn't list it for me for about 20 minutes or so but it eventually showed up.

OK, process is a little tedious because of the switch between Matrix Games and Slithering sites, issues with the password and general slowness of Slitherine, but eventually I managed to purchase the game with the appropriate discount and get the Steam key.

Keep trying guys, you'll get there also.

Good luck,

Jean-Marc.

The redeem function does not recognize my serial keys that I have on my Matrix account. Do I have to do some synchronization?

The process worked flawlessly for me. Upgraded to Universe here at Matrix for $9.99; logged into my Slitherine account; clicked to generate a steam key; got the key.

Now, as for *using* the Steam key: I can't do that until the game unlocks on Steam this evening (eastern time USA), right? Is it just something you enter while "purchasing" the game?

Also, does the game have Steam Achievements? Wondering whether I should reinstall using my Steam key to take advantage of those.

Thanks DW team for the step by step guide.

I know waiting sucks, but I think you will definitely find DW:U worth the wait. Hang in there.

I am also glad that they released on Steam for those that want it (despite my own feelings about Steam). I know all our new players will enjoy it.

I have to upgrade even if I have all the data discs?

I have bought the original game with each expansion pack... do I have to pay even more to have it in one package?

Hi Jumbik,

It's not just a new package. Like the other expansions, it's about a year of additional development time and a new expansion (mostly on modding capabilities, but also on many other improvements).

You should use the upgrade discount process to decrease the price substantially.

Regards,

- Erik

Yes Jumbik, the Steam version will cost you $10 if you already have all the previous ones and follow the above process. On top of the Steam installation, which is good, we also get much improved modding capabilities apparently.

Good luck,

JM.

So the Steam overlay and steam workshop are supported?

If yes then well done, you deserve your money.
