For those wondering about account linking and server selection.

[Gyson]

There's been news trickling in from the staff on the Once Human Discord server.

If you participated in the closed beta tests and are hoping to claim rewards you unlocked during those tests (e.g. lightforged medals), you need to use the Loading Bay launcher, not Steam. And you need to use the same login information you used back during the tests. You *can not* access that account through the Steam version of the game.

Your rewards will be sent to the first character you create.

Also, everyone will only be able to create one character *per account*. Not per server, but *per account*. So choose wisely, I guess, and hope you end up on a server with people who speak your preferred language.

It's already installed and up to date - just waiting for the servers to go live! :)

Well, good thing I didnt really care about that cosmetic. I got my blue motorcycle skin and the CBT2 code. Rest of it I didnt use, would rather stick with steam so I dont have to keep track of a login.

[Nefarious]

Yea that cosmetic was ugly asf being one full piece, so sticking with Steam.

Anyone know if they will be compatible? I read somewhere that Steam doesn't play nice with other providers... So if I load using Loading bay, will I still be able to play with my steam friends?

Yes, everyone has access to the same servers regardless of platforms, so you'll still be able to play with your friends as long as you're all on the same server.

But cross-platform support is not available through the Steam version of the game, so keep that in mind.

@Gyson can you tell me what the rewards actually were? were they just cometics?

yea they where and in my friend group it was 50/50 wether we liked it i would say you did not miss much

[Major Fish]

Crazy thing is when I looked up the info it said we HAD to delete and reinstall. So I thought the launcher was just for Beta. damnit

[CancoZ]

Which currency were the lightforged medals again? The quest Currency, or the one that was in that Menu where you did small tasks/objectives?

We've heard your feedback, and the devs really put some effort into fixing this issue. Now multiple-character creation is available!

We initially closed multi-character creation because the experience wasn't up to snuff. We wanted to perfect it by August 1, but that plan backfired. Sorry about that! We appreciate your understanding as we work to make things right for you. thankfully they fixed it fast so you can have more characters than one :D

I wouldn't mind if it was just 1 character per account but allow us to server transfer whenever tbh.

Depending on which tests you were in, it was the 54 Lightforged medals (which are used to purchase cosmetics) and an avatar portrait frames.

It might also include the Scarlet Dragon Skin.. that keeps getting advertised but I'm not certain if it's accurate. Even Starry Studios is saying it's included but their messaging is often mixed.

Sounds like an absolute ripoff then, shame on the devs. Guess I'll just have to sacrifice these extras.

[fudashi]

bummer

I hope you guys can figure out a way for us to transfer our standalone launcher account stats to the steam version.. i played sooo much, but i assumed that it would use the same "login" system on steam also.. this feels like a rug-pull
