Download Steam - http://store.steampowered.com/

You can find your Rebellion key in your Stardock account or in your e-mail.

Or by using the following with the email you purchased from Stardock with.

https://www.stardock.com/support/product-key-retrieval

If you purchased from another software partner, you will have to refer to your receipt from them or contact them directly.

 

Once you have your key and Steam installed, open Steam.  At the bottom left click ‘Add a game’ and select ‘Activate a Product on Steam’.

Next you have a new window with a couple of screens with agreements, instructions, etc.  You will then be prompted to enter your key.

After that, you will get confirmation and install info screens.

That’s just about it.  You can click the downloading  area at the bottom of Steam to open up your downloads, and you can also view them from your Steam library.

After you click play there is a one-time only 2-step Steam check for Microsoft Direct X and other drivers--takes a few seconds and has to be completed to play.  Re-start Steam and try again if it seems to have an issue.

I wonder, how will the addition of the later stages of beta work? Will the game automatically update to newer version through Steam, once you release new beta/final game?

I cant play online right now. No middle mouse button so ya this is really handicapping me . If they added screen scrolling like in homeworld ie left and right click with moving mouse forward and back then I am good. So early next week I can play with my new mouse. its driving me CRAZY!

It's going to take me about 2.5 hours to download on my crappy 1.5 MB DSL connection.  (I hate you, CenturyLink.)

If the game doesn't show up in the list of my games did it not work? should I canel my order and try again?

I think my router is preventing the steam program from updating and coming up? Can anyone help? Support page on the Steam website provides little help. The error I'm getting is cannot connect to the Internet. So frustrating >:( X(

So will the full release version use some sort of automatch search for MP games (like most steamworks MP - with an elo ladder, etc.) or just the usual pre-set up custom matches we had with Trinity (and all the beta has so far)?

How will linking functionality between the original Sins games/Trinity and Rebellion work if the former was bought from Stardock/Impulse and the latter is on Steam?

Rebellion is an independent game that doesn't need any former Sins games/expansions to run.

 

Pre-ordered but still waiting for my key. How long does it take to get one? The game doesn't show up on my Stardock account either...

Hey guys,

 Little help, just pre-ordered Rebellion, got my key for steam etc...I put it in, and it says it is a duplicate key.  So currently, I have been screwed unfortunately, I can't see anywhere to contact either, so hoping for some help here.

DueAccident, check email. You should be set. Also, the email receipt would have said to contact [email protected].
