Actually might be reverse considering steam only lets you get 1k keys for your game without going through support
In now and 1/2 hours.
Iβll be there
First I need to assist my team with FiveM Development.
yeah not for that reason its something i have the time for now.
I want a key)
i dont have access yet π₯²
π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π π
Only 'At least 1k' from 9k were steam, I need to seriously consider starting streaming nowπ€£ π
So u mean my chance is gone ???
NO NO NO!
My math was reversed
how can we get access other than thru steam request
@fast orchid another giveaway lost xdd Im sooo unlucky lol π
me too
Rn it's just lottery from those that have the spare key which unless someone in here screams they have one we don't know who has spares
Who's giveaway that time?
Tubadon
i dont understand what we have to do i was ready to start crying on support for a key
Unfortunately someone tried that and it didn't work
hahahahha
ye I dont understand how 9k ppl got access, but only 300 play and there are like 1K ppl on discord ppl cryin for a key lol
sooonnn
Timezones
then let more people innnn
its easy if they follow before 2year until now some of them maybe died ,to old to play now ,they are on space
ye but still 300/9k is wierd xd
You followed since before it was public?
no about a month on steam
I won the giveaway a few days ago and still have not recieved my key
o.O
i follows it when it was an idea π hahhaah
Also in Steam of the month 2 in the wish list
They're probably just rolling them out very slow
Every giveaway I was in, streamers insta gave keys away
Yeah, some other people who won the discord giveaway got their keys too, but I guess I'm just unlucky : (
some of them put the key with tickets and if y follow it only with 1 ticket its very hard to win only if y subscrive them
Donβt have a key
Bought Nitro again, yay.....
dont have a key also dont send messages on discord hahhahaha
the CMs probably forgot to send you, maybe a mod can help you with that ?
That a challenge!?
Who wants to chill in vc for a bit
Mods can't help
he chalenged me but i can`t fight him
It says to DM Bambino for help, so I will try him
ITS A PROMISE
I shall be your envoy
my bad ^^
catch me after my vacation
what is vc?
voice chat
youve been a dc member for 3years how don`t you know that?
what i did for 3 years
Access still be sent out or not?
yea
keys will come when they come
just wait for email thats all ya can do and watch streamers who do giveaways
are you a content creator?
yes!
https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1354462739145429002 check pinned messages for a form
K i filled out the form!
now you wait
Seeing the active playtesters number go up and still not having a key is tough lol
im going to learn france,poland,german,russian and other language for free on twitch and all of this for a key hahhaha
still no key im currently crying man
Same :/
dam i been waiting for access since 5k
Me too π
You's are all very late to the party. Have a bit of patience π
Im waiting 3 days, Im already lost in a time watching streams 24/7 ππ
Good Afternoon Crosswind π
hello pirate!
Mornin!
Ahoy there!
π» Ahoy!
still no key π¦
why?
this seems odd
No key
please give a giveaway to @uncut narwhal please someone
i need more monitor to open more lives
i have a 3 monitor setup
This is superwierdππ
i have 2 monitor 2 phones 1 tablet and my tv lol hahhaha
when i lose the raffle
my mental health is deteriorating
when you mix colors you make other colors you dont want to listen 6 language to see what happend to my brain
correct
@lunar wharf there has been way more keys issued - doesn't mean they all on same time lol
9000 keys to 300 players is a big gap
They sent 8000 to bot Steam accounts ππ
more than 8000
Anymore giveaways planned for today? π
yeah they giving away the discord xD
They started a couple days ago letting in about 50, then slowly starting increasing it - and will continue to do so - they being smart by not trying to crash the servers with the flood gates open and instead monitor and adjust the system and keep adding more in. So far the game has been performing very well.
9000 - bots - key thiefs - alts - abandonned acounts = around 500 to 600
yep
sounds like you're giving keys to the wrong people then
idk it should be sent tru discord bot or something, only to active ppl or idk
the steam invite system is horribly flawed. a simple five question google form is bot proof
its random....they said theyll keep adding mroe as long as servers are okay
Also for info for the new peeps that don't know the numbers, they had initially only planned to get 8,000 for the play test, and in 1 week had 140,000 signups, so the signups were temporarily turned off, now that they've been back up those numbers have jumped... a lot.
o.O 140k
Its crazy numbers for sure. And awesome.
Jst make it paid and GG π
It's random keep that in mind.
to around?
Access from Steam is completely random as they open up more space - they have no control over the Steam selection. They do have keys for access in giveaways they have been doing and I'm sure they will do more. No timeframe on when.
Did u sleep long?
@velvet beacon Will see if we can get those numbers first of the week.
I believe they can set paramaters such as minimum play time to avoid bots etc. But yea It's always a lottery if you do it through steam
i dont understand something yesterday i ask if they have servers and someone say to me its not servers we host the game .is correct?
From my understanding you can't currently and probably wont ever be able to host your own locally - which makes sense with the server structure they're going for
Even your own "singleplayer" world is connected to the web of servers because you're able to travel to hubs and I guess eventually other gameplay areas that are linked with everyone else
aaa ok thanks
For me normally 6 hours max
What is a sleep?
SOON
20:00 and 20:45 I will be giving away the keys but before that It's just chilling
whats ur time now?:D
this is how you get it
Will this game only be released for PC?
exactly xd streamers with 1/5 of my followers I have get a key and I nothing :/ :/
Get Milked!!! π€£
@honest sequoia initially only on PC, later after release on console is planned, but no date. the PC release has to happen first.
I mean, I feel the pain I just can't help the way I want to
Whens the next giveaway
my bad luck last week is INSANE if im counting my holiday... I should go buy eurojackpot ticket xd
How
yes but 2600 people see this streamers
Eventually by someone
@uncut narwhal keep an eye on the #βannouncements it will be announced.
new goal finishing this game before gta 6
Hand me one of the keys we can let them gamble on stream again and watch them break the bot
NOT AGAIN! π
Im game
@velvet beacon GTA 6 has no bearing on when this is finished or not they are not competing games, besides after 15 years in the making - I'm doubtful they will get it done in next 2 years, They been developing GTA 6 way longer than ever Star Citizen has been in developement lol
But it's be so funny
18:37
I need to score a key for a friend
nice, same π
Here I am writing down every name for spin the wheel because I'm a crappy streamer lol
ill pay 10
Ok thanks, this game looks wonderful π₯, I hope console players can enjoy it.
ye funny bro, but I was cryin xdd
Who has a giveaway right now?
can anyone help me i really wanna play this test but everytime i try boot the game i just get fatel error every single time
for me its day 237
02:07am 
We can collab, you provided the key I provide..... Uhhh actually wait I don't have anything of value
same
Crosswind Crosswind Crosswind Crosswind Crosswind
@left dragon if you have access to it, verify files, and make sure you have latest drivers installed, especially the Nvidia ones if using an Nvidia.
If your PC doesn't meet the requirements that is something we can't fix XD
another wasted key π
my pc can`t play it rn (bcuz no key)
Please don't joke about that
well I almost died 6 days ago, so I guess I can throw a little joke about that xd
im using amd graphics card and i do get a driver error but i cant find where to fix it
With all the stream watching we are doing for keys we probably already played the full alpha playtest in all available languages xD
yeah π
Strange question: Is there a way to hide the hud?
with /
Can anyone tell me if the game will be available in early access?
well it will, but no ETA π
Are keys for the alpha being given out or do we have to do somersaults until we cant see anymore to get one?
I hope this is the one of the best game I have played
Is this game don't have a auction house?
still no aaacessss
Hope everyone is having a good weekend was hoping to be able to play for the next few days off but not looking good
i feel you bro:(
Im literally spending my time hopping from giveaway to giveaway and spam refreshing steam in between π
Keys are being given out, but its random
the pvp area is it only your lobby or official with other worlds of players?
Release the π π π π π
"Streamer, streamer everywhere". Buuuuut...But no one is Italian. Ohi ohi.
ye 95% of streamers are german or russian lol xd
i think the servers was in NA and germany
Or u should learn whay languages thare are in the world or look on an different platform
I personally think only bots are getting invited, kinda what happen to chrono odydessy
I played CO as well
Game is insane yall should try itπ€
the game release on q4 2025
okay pause i have the game but will there be pvp?
rn its just farming bots im good with that
there is a ship pvp arena allready
ty, cause rn its not my vibe but at least I have that to work towards
im here to kill players who dont want to fight arg
all tho i dont know if its connected to other peoples worlds or not? if anyone wanna test
I think i know geography very well, there is 44 countries in Europe and only +- 12 of them use deutsch or russian as main language... what u say now lol?:D
its not people have said the worlds were invite based
the world yes
tortuga was supposed toi be player hub tho or not? and pvp arena is same as tortuga
Took u long to google it
grok search ??
Tortuga is the player hub, PvP arena is separate
yo bro you find any pvp
yeah but pvp is alsoseperated world
Thank you for answering my question Bloodstone!!
No one from NA who s made it to Tortuga is on yet and I only know of the one person who can, bout to put out a bounty after we make the infinity sigil
i wasnt sure about few eastern countries, so I jst checked if im right π and that doesn't disprove my point π
aight 5 min and than im going live
Woud be cool if it was an open world
Correct
wise choice
looking for another hungry to kill pirate? im just here for pvp
Linky ? In the #βcontent-creators ?
thats why i was wondering if its like tortuga where you can fight players from other worlds
has anyone who has access done pvp yet?
I believe so but we haven't had anyone else who's willing to help me test so we don't know
Well some one can speak german but does not have to be one
No
lets go there i am up for it
lemme finsih this transport ship and i will hop over
You NA and made it to Tortuga?
Alpha doesn't have cross region yet π¦
use vpn
ah rip
Toss me a key, Im your Huckleberry. Ill sink your battleship.
@fast orchid Hello, I wrote to you in private messages. But it wasn't delivered, it probably went to spam, could you read it?)
Use Nord Vpn XD
I "could"
Hahaha
what a waste of keys xD
Anyone here EU that plays and hjas tortuga done?
i use it for tarkov
It's not always about chasing loot and epic items.
somehow I feel like a vpn wouldnt help in this case with how he stated that there wasnt cross regioning
Y'all will complain about literally anything, even if you did have access smh
i will test pvp with buddy if he joins over his world
rn feels wack just a pve game with a little sprinkle of pvp at the very end
i was there at this magic moment β€οΈ ! π
You say that like a pirate game has to be PvP at all times or it's the worst thing ever made
lol what do pirates do? they are not missonarys
i dont like every time pvp because they dont let you relax and fishing on the ship
How to get a game key for streamers and bloggers?
pirates do more than sink other pirates. LOL
Sea of Thieves what?
That is what I was thinking
Sea of Zzzzz
For those not playing you will just collect seaweed for 5 hours fight overpowered NPCs and then never see any other players
Yeah this isn't sea of thieves, you want that then go play it, no one is stopping you
at this point this is worse
lemme get a code pls\
You're entitled to your wrong opinion, it's ok
i can stream if someone wants to confirm what im saying
It is possible to visit Tortuga ?
no one is there even if you go
because they all want to fight NPCs you dont HAVE to pvp
I think my issue is I donβt think I meet the requirements for the game atm such a shame really was so excited for this game βΉοΈ
Live
i think devs mentioned this test wasnt supposed to have pvp content and still gave the arena.
π€‘
bots bots bots
good news is you can kill doda birds all day
I mean if all you wanna do is complain and cause problems then sure, lmk, I have a very easy solution for you
There are a LOT of people streaming Crosswind right now. Please go share love and watch these lovely people put their time in
bro is so hurt I dont like the game hes a mod for lol
And build hella sick bases with a good building system - hire farmers to reduce the farming you gotta do
Sorry to tell you man but as it is now no one will be enjoying this pass farming bots
there any invites to the playtest going out?
you do realise theres auto farm right?
I don't care you don't like it I care that you're spamming complaints like the chat owes you attention.
Imagine thinking that this alpha is it for the game xD
and can give my feedback
No because he's literally a copy pasta who doesn't care about anyone but himself lmao
good some now I can kill doda birds at 200% speed great game
relax guys because santa dont give keys to bad kids
Its okay give me their key, its my turn to play
cant devs just take the access from the people who dont even know what this test is for and give to people who knows.π
How do i get a test copy? Im super excited about this game, I got many in valheim and this looks right up my alley
Only coal or cyanide.
Depending on the case
Get in line pal 
yo coffe hows your sailing going
Sorry European streamers only
I got 20 years on steam im the best to give my opinion π
1 more loading screen and we shall know if its cross pvp
I'm just patiently waiting
You have someone to test with in EU!?
yeah we are 3 friends i just told him to go on his world and hop into pvp
i mean if you like pve ark you will like it just minus the tames
There's an arena? Idk if ive heard about this that sounds interesting
Lesssgo, lemme know
i am confused 9k keys but steam charts only show 296 all time ? is it because of not all regions are able to play ?
There is in deed a PvP arena
In the current test or like in the game in general?
In the current test
Is there any confirmed release date or roadmap for this yet?
Steam playtest sends out keys randomly to anyone who signed up so many will go to people who won't play, its just how it works.
or bots :/
i dont think it show all and also keys are given to people in the pool, doesnt mean they are playing or installing it .. also doesnt mean they instantly hand out more as the test server limitations are rather small
But at this point they know the ratio of invites to real players so they can prob control it how they like
yea was just wondering
uninstalled lol
i think its a valid question
i would assume most people that request access wont even realise they got in
once they see the server can handle more, more keys will be handed out .. so just be patient and cross your fingers ... there is also not really content for 4 weeks so you are not missing anything if you get access a week later
I'm curious how 9000 people have access but Steam charts says the peak of players playing (right now) is only 296
read the chat a few replies up lol
if each player is on there own server then server strain per world is 4 people right ?
your not missing anything at all i just played it just a farm simulator
Cool give me your steam account
release date?
@fast orchid its cross world pvp
That's wild that I decided to type that moments after someone else lol
It is possible to visit tortuga
YOOOOOO
its a valid and common question
Lemme know how it plays
Yarrrr! thats sick
meaning you can pvp those that you invite to your world? or did you meet your friends in a hub type area?
It is possible to visit tortuga
I'm an old Black Desert player, i'm used farming, or grinding a lot
no everyone not only those in your world
i need this to live
Im just drinking rum on the beach until I get a key, then I'll do stuff.
ooo thats sick. Sorry to keep asking but for clarity, you can run into someone out in the open and openly pvp them?
Hey chat, does anyone have a spare key? Thanks guys.
Bro is desperate for us to know that he didn't like the game
He just wanted attention
Can you not defeat multiple bosses and stuff? Or is it locked to βact 1β
You can dude just wants attention
There are other ways to get attention.
For example
Hey, who wants a beer?
Not me
The only stimulant I need is BURIED TREASURE RARGGGG
πΊ
Or grog
Everything in the playtest so far has been great, the only 2 issues I have are with some of the building being a bit funky, I place a wall one way and it comes out another. and how dashing those un-parryable attacks from zombies and boars charging is a very tight window but that might just be a skill issue for me.
Iβm gonna lose it if crosswind doesnβt appear in my steam library in the next 4 hours
Jack wants you to give me his Key........
@fast orchid do you remeber where you get the black cutter ship from?
"So long, and thanks for all the fish"
I do, it's a secret reward for an objective
ah i see i have it but mate didnt was wondering
You get it in Tortuga for doing something so it's just that you've done it and he hasn't
Just for understanding numbers, we are now at nearly 300k signups. So be patient and hope for the best on Steam access or keys. - Still going to be running for 4 weeks.
Man out of all those people I got randomly selected, thank you RNG Pirate gods
Hi! Iβm a streamer and I was wondering β is it possible to receive a key for the game as a content creator?
@spice crane https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfr1A12dFbBSXBtvmsrPtqe9cSFPaPs9M5LdZ5nAyL8RXJkow/viewform
Welcome aboard, creator!
Thanks for your interest in Crosswind! This short survey will help us get to know you, your content, and how we can best support you during the upcoming playtest.
Itβll only take a few minutes to fill out β and weβre genuinely excited to learn more about you! If selected, weβll reach out ahead of the playtest ...
I was told in the official discord i can find key giveaway. Does anybody know where exactly?
How long beta is?
a month
Is this reply to me?
amazing during the 4 weeks droping keys?
@graceful badge yes they post in the #βannouncements when they doing giveaways - so keep an eye on it they have done a few of them last couple days.
They have been opening up to more access each day - so Steam will be also randomly sending out more invites.
oh only few giveaways in couple of days?
seems like no chance
Thats what some said, yet they got keys - So keep an eye on the #βannouncements and #βgame-updates π
hey, anyone have jungle 37/37 ?
I'm close but the sad but is that some points of interest are randomized per player so we can't use a strict guide
dont loose sleep its already been uninstalled for me just a pve farm simulator with little to no pvp. if you like PVE you will love it
it's sad
It is possible to visit tortuga
@jagged grail you've still got a lot of islands to go visit XD
giveaway on stream rn
what do u mean ?
on screenshot just jungle
@jagged grail There's a lot more islands π
i need only 1 in jungle, i have 36/37
lol
Jheehaa
@edgy saddle bro can you do it in 5 minutes π
Yup @jagged grail you still got more islands to explore lol
Waiting for another giveaway thats at 20:00
What do yall think of my newest ship?
skallπ» have fun aboard
What's the thing left to the lamp ?(hotbar)
It is possible to visit tortuga
That's my pet boar
O.o how do you get it ?
Exploration of points of interest
It is possible to visit tortuga
Are you asking or just spamming that the possibility exists?
dont cry for the key after this
Asking
Yes it is possible you need to progress in the main quest
Ah ok thanks for the answer
No problem
I hope the game came in early access it is very nice
Hows this game running, got some potential?
Yeah many potential
@opal moth running really well - and oh yes Great potential
Good, I seen a trailer and got me excited. This looks like what I was hoping skulls and bones would be lol
It's done!
Where
Omg I get 3 HP segments without food AND an extra stamina wheel when I rest!
Did?
Aah damn π¦
Sadly
Aah, sorry
He's doing another one later
There are a couple that may announce giveaways in chat - , those are separate from the big giveaways the dev's do
is it possible to get a key?
It's tough out here
Great Depression
I understand the give a few Keys for the game the one wanne overload the server and we can't do more than waiting for the release for this fantastic game
@zenith trellis yes its possible , 1) random access from Steam if you signed up, 2) dev giveaways in #βannouncements , 3) others that may have keys doing giveaways that post in chat - theres nearly 300,000 signups at this point.
Keep in mind all this is only one of most likely many playtest. Release is expected at the end of 2026 if all goes well.
i did sign up on steam but i looks so good, wanna play now xD
@zenith trellis We totally understand that - it is a super fun game to play for sure.
BRO WHERES THE ACCESS I AINT GOT NOTHIN
can multiple people work ona ship
is there any multi crew?
if someone can spare a key i would appreciate it β€οΈ
Not yet, they can stand on the ship but not interact with it
That's a good question, haven't tried that one yet but can in a min
mostly interested in the pvp but ya doesnt seem much info out on it yet
wondering if it would make a good community game
The core focus of the game is mostly PVE and as a result PVP doesn't exist in a large capacity at this time, so far it's a flat ocean arena with PvP enabled and that's it
sad
is taming in playtest?
@bronze rock PVP hasn't been developed yet to the point they ready to show it - but it's coming at a later time - there will be a playtest on it at some point.
The way it should be!π
what is theh server count?
any more keys will be sent today or nay?
I mean it's actively in this playtest just not a major focus
@long ibex access in ongoing from Steam each day as they open more space up - someone gave a key out earlier in a Stream and the Dev's do giveaways once posted in #βannouncements - some of them are short timed so have to keep an eye out for it.
No
not all on same island at this time - theres a 3 person cap for now until stability and other issues can expand it.
ah so its less of an mmo and more like a survival server you play on ?
ye cheers i checked already the news wanted to be sure if they still dropping some keys today or ill just wait for tomorrow. tried my luck with streamers but nothing
That's more accurate than not
rip was hoping it was more of a community game
@bronze rock the MMO side of it is not in yet - that will come later - where people meet at the HUB, and can go into more end game content of PVE/PVP raids, warefare, etc.
hmm well im still interested but ya def gunna have to wait to see how that plays out
Be sure to Read the #1298583059402063926 - lot great info in there
i read the news article
They've also said they wanted to step away from the MMO label as it doesn't give players the right idea of what they're going for with the online interactions
the faq doesnt cover anything related to player counts and such though
ya the MMO title was a bit misleading
I do agree with you there. Which is why I think they said they wanted to step away from it
it has elements of an MMO coming, so in that respect it will be there, but its not a pure MMO
Also - The tags in there are user tags, not everyone sees same tags
fair
i see
last giveaway on stream rn
lets go to be 100
Hii how i can get de access?
- random access from Steam if you signed up, 2) dev giveaways in β #βannouncements , 3) others that may have keys doing giveaways that post in chat - theres nearly 300,000 signups at this point.
Forcing the big ships to beach Nr.1 strat
Lmao
been looking forward to this game. people seem to enjoy it. so thats a good thing lol
played loads of alphas this is by far the best ever played regarding state
thats good to hear
Sad didn't get it
Thereβs still time lads
eh wake me up when open beta happens. xD
I freaking love this community
Iβm glad itβs running for so long so I have time to still get in

Stream was very good
Dude, my fingers are broken lmao
Chilling in https://discord.com/channels/1260209458924224542/1305816059747631115 if anyone wants to join for a bit.
i wanna plaaaayyyyyyy
Also PLEASE go share love to all the content creators. There are a LOT of people streaming on Twitch and Youtube
Good morning
how much time we have? π
I think like 3 more weeks
3.5 now π€
dam that's awesome! hope i get lucky and get the access π
key keyy keyyy keyy jajajjajaja
I still have time
gib key gib key
I had chesburger?
βοΈ π
how to get access plz ?
Is there any chance to inv friends when we have access? (not complaining just trying to get info :D)
They can hop into your ship and help with boarding
) random access from Steam if you signed up, 2) dev giveaways in β #βannouncements , 3) others that may have keys doing giveaways that post in chat - theres nearly 300,000 signups at this point.
The only issue is that there is no option for them to climb
Only if they jump from their ship to yours
Yeah so they gotta ram, gotcha, oh or be on your
Yep
I think making a climb option for friendly ships should be implemented fast
love the pirat naval setup π
I want to eat like a very juicy very big fatty hamburger ngl
haha i will see you play this game @jaunty heron hope you got creator acces and @edgy saddle too this will be funny
hope it too
if I only had more keys to giveaway 
OMG WE FOUND SECRET PVP
maybe dress up as a pirat... the old costume is still rdy haha
hola alguien sabe como conseguir el acceso anticipado?
I still have all 5 of mine
stream soon?
Jeezee wich of my sould u need ?
one key plz π€£
Ok so, if you want to funny PvP your friends, one of you has to board a ship, the other one using their own ship then boards but not via the button but rather by jumping on then you can PvP each other in the boarding fight
Nope. Have a look at pins to see my plans for my keys
comm events
Yep.
My history is mostly in community management. So I want to start doing community based things here. I think key competitions is a good start
especialy with these beggers its better to do it in events instead of streams (no disrespect)
Anyone got a fix if you cant place certain structures (expect placing in a different camp fire area)?
Just have to replace the bonfire
Aight
Yeah, sucks but it's a known issue
i mean is fine if it dosnt demo all workbenches
No it doesnt
but now after 300 gs score stuff goes so quick like 1h farming and you produce 1000 Enchanted ingots
Aight perfect ty
I give up, I have been in like 30+ give aways, 0 luck ππ
Who knows, soon another one? π€·
We will see
The end goal for the server structure aligns with MMO-Lite
Waiting...

is never coming π
i think a level system wouldnt hurt the game tho to increase stat points
p a t i e n c e
Are there ways to increase the chance to join? No right?
Indeed, No.
Enter the giveaways and watch streamers that have keys to give away
Thou I don't think there's many streamers with keys left to give
^ Well you can do that, but the answer to your question is still no lol.
Don't matter that much, I don't have any luck when it comes to that sort of stuff
yes but it involves a blood sacrifice
O.o
You failed to specify whos blood need sacrificing β οΈ
Let's get some landlubbers
Everyones!!!!!!!!!
This be the real captain teach?
Hear ye hear ye where are the new captains
I be lookin to become one meself
Itβs been 48 hours, everyone calm down asking for keys?
Ye xd
xD
this game looks insanely promising, devs got a gem in their hands
Hello everyone !
Alright finally home
hello all
I hope you had a great day
Hey π
hey
I cant wait for the game to come out, I am buzzing to play
Man I wanna go home, days almost over
Not long now and then feet up for the night
Hello. How to get a key?
More like, drink and then nap on my futon lmao
Request on on stream and pray to the pirate lords we get one
Even better π

And, maybe go and see if I can find a nice lamp..
Theres nearly 300,000 applicants at the moment. Literally, so be patient π

Dude getting old sucks bro

I feel you on that o e
I leaned back wrong and now I need to sit down, back hurts
Ik was na de 1e roll weg gegaan had geen tijd meer hoe is je stream verlopen?
The second shift for the keys came, the mornings are gone hahahahahahahaha
All good, I've got time β²οΈ π
i know what u mean bro im 19 feeling ancient π¦
Bro your still a kid
Amazing in my opinion. Sweat, goosebumps and happy tears.
I'm 35, back giving out and losing hair. Any takers ?
I'm a step away from 30
Lekker man
It suck π
Is your name on twitch blackbeard?
Nicely to see alot of goodthings come from new games
I'll spend a fortune before I lose hair
LetsGameItOut realy needs this game and rip it a new one π€£
Was a long 2 days now to take a nap see if I somehow get accepted to play
Nah.. "wholfofficial"
maybe 1 day, not ready for all that just yet
He is a good gamer and max out all the bugs π€£
I've been telling my friends 2025 has been lacking good games this year. Until I seen this one, I am SO excited! I love pirate's and hitting the ren fairs as one.
Man I've just been here playin some dark souls, waiting for a key or not. Either way I'm big chill man.
People in this chat right now happy to take a key and go hard at it
bots alts and mostly key stealers (if im right)
I stream on tiktok
@tropic quiver just because there's been 9000 keys don't expect them all to be on at same time - some probably haven't even been checking to see if its even in their playlist yet. This is only 3rd day lol
Im pretty sure there are not many key stealers since you cannot find any webpage were they sell accounts or keys
do you know of the black market?
Nobody is selling crosswind access on the black market
Be letting the folk with keys get more stream time in lol
We don't advocate that and appreciate the discussion not being in the channel on key selling.
Do you need an e-mail or could it already appear in your library?
Can the devs give keys to people here that actually want to play the game and not steal them?
Promotion is key π
Add breeding of parrots so we can fight them. Plz thanks.
They have, it's day 3 of access
You have but others have not
those companies are in a going investigation and wil probably be shut down soon
I haven't.
Oh my bad
steam has deployed their assassins, i mean agents
Well I guess we all wait. Back to farmvill π
Or kraken, or other sea monsters, THE MAELSTROM!
I just go and play dark souls while I wait tbh
@velvet beacon I asked nicely a min ago not to discuss this in a channel - please let the conversation go.
Is there a way to get a key for content creators / twitch partners?
Ya kraken breeding. Clash of the gods on the high seas. Weeeee
@silent jolt here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfr1A12dFbBSXBtvmsrPtqe9cSFPaPs9M5LdZ5nAyL8RXJkow/viewform
Welcome aboard, creator!
Thanks for your interest in Crosswind! This short survey will help us get to know you, your content, and how we can best support you during the upcoming playtest.
Itβll only take a few minutes to fill out β and weβre genuinely excited to learn more about you! If selected, weβll reach out ahead of the playtest ...
is there any way to get the key ?
I just tested my pc and i can actualy STREAM Crosswind!!!!!
which has givin me a super hype boost
Lesgo
@idle kiln #βannouncements and #βgame-updates and sign up on Steam, and sometimes someone announces they streaming to give one away.
Just filled out the CC form and will be awaiting a response hopefully π
Same pray π
angry?
no, got damaged during transport
oof can`t you ask for a replacement?
no it was my nice moniter I got from my last workplace
can i have an invitation to the game U.U ?
that sucks
Hiii Everybody!
Ahoy!
Heelo π
Welcome!
hello
hello!
Welcome to All the New peeps, too many to call each out individually, but we glad to have you all.
I'm watching the Stream at my gaming friend's place right now and it looks like the best pirate game I've seen lol
To apply for Playtests, all I have to do is fill out the survey I found on the server??
Has anyone gotten access today?
still waiting and hope that my mail cam xD
@prisma arch - apply via steam page, follow news channel on discord or via streamer drops on twitch. but we all are basically waiting for access here.
9075 access and 312 players play the game.. bots win π
@prisma arch Apply on Steam, Steam will randomly grant access as more spaces are made available. Also keep an eye on #βannouncements and #βgame-updates - a few have keys to give away and do streams from time top time - those announce it at that time in the chat. Nearly 30,000 applicants so be patient π
Just because access has been granted doesn't mean those people are on at the moment playing, some don't even know they have access.
thats we all whit out a key ^^
Ok, thx so much!
OFC, bro its 312/9075 not 2000/9075, its not normal...
Ahoy all!
does anyone know if the keys have been sent to the 100 contest winners from the end of March?
8 hours for the woodcutter to do his job? Does he bring back a lot at least? lol
are there actually any english streamers giving keys?
Yes, like more than you need
Well time to finally stream! Hope i get accepted into the CC xD
Ty
why are all the content creators with codes not english

like a gorillion people streaming in languages other than english
and maybe three or four in english
hello
foreal like i want to watch and get chance for code but dont understand anything there saying
I am just hoping that they send me an e-mail with a playtest slot....four weeks is a long playtest and it just started on the 25th.
Ahoy "bilge rat"
I mean I'm streaming but I don't have keys to giveaway hehe
Hi π
Blackbeard my buddy. Still wore out from stream? XD
Question
After filling out the creator form is there something I need to do?
Extra that is?
will the game have controller support?
yes but it doesnt work completely
so have a keybord nearby
If you speak English and stream with keys to give away lemme know
yes please
same
@grand light π«°
no more giveaway?
Iβm deadass on a boat rn if youβre telling me I can find one from jumping off I will
Seems not
Any tips for finding Tortuga?
have a question have a server in south america?
hope I get access!
Woo 2 mins left for work
Iβm normally positive but man not being one of the first 10k selected one selected for being one of the streamers hurts I feel like another company telling me Iβm not good enough
Its okay I'm proud of you son
It's a given out at random yo
You aren't.
Apparently
I am hungry sure
If I don't get in, I'm not too upset.
I got souls and monster hunter to play anyway.
What if I donβt get an email huh?!?!? What then????
you wait longer
You keep waiting
then you wait for game release date
Yep. You wait lmao
plan b
Then wait I shall
you also realise your not there to just "play" the game like they need people who are going to give feedback report bugs etc like so many of you are crying for keys will play it for maybe an hour get bored and leave, if your not patient thats on you just forgot about the game till release
i agree
yeah if you dont report bugs and give feedback...shame on you
What is the max number of people that can play coop?
3
3
Besides there will be more alphas
No I've been excited even told all my fellow people who frigging got in before me
And eventually betas will come. This won't be the last time
is there a way to keep the game sound on when im tabbing out
Don't tab out be a sweat
try borderless windowed
π
i dont have that option
Just downloaded the game π
noice
dang just lost a boarding battle how do i get my ship back
You got it in?! Nice!
nice lucky guy!
Can
Can't you call it and it'll spawn in?
K iirc
just summons it back to you
tell him the button
I just did
you are faster than i see the message sory

There are no coop only worlds. Your characters progression is tied to your account. So if you join a friends world you keep your equipment and level.
So if i delete my character it will make a new world?
Yes. although the map is the same, iirc the seed only changes the locations of POI's
i signed up so long ago still no key π¦
Tower mostly done
JeeZee my other buddy π
thats cool man looks like map furniture so you know you did it right
is there a staircase on that far side thats just really well hidden behind the beam lol
there is, it just lines up with the beam perfectly lol
thatscool
can you dig underground? would be cool to have underground base 
X2
there IS digging. But not like minecraft type digging. No fallout vault type bases Im afraid. However there is hidden cellar type room close to spawn
today a little simple tower, tomorrow a big fortress
can u build with stone and stuff
or is just wood
yep, theres stone foundations. 3 different types
whats the last type
you can build there? in the cellar type?
seeing that cellar only makes me think of that lol
or setup traps
Sorry if this has been asked already, but I'm assuming that Alpha playtest progress will be wiped later on?
Medium cobblestone foundation, small and large stone foundation
Resetting account doesn't switch region for the generated world
How do I switch my accounts region?
It's stuck on EU
Then I guess its just tied to whichever server youre closest to.
I'm in NA
Im just checking now and I dont believe theres a way to change reigon
I had a VPN on when I created my world and it is now forcing me to EU
how do i get that to reset?
hmm, Have you tried closing the game, disabling your VPN then relaunching?
yes
(I feel like that was a bit of an obvious question but I felt obligated to ask anyway)
hmmmm
Let me get back to you on that one. In the meantime I recommend making a post in #1298615153209638942 with as much info as you can.
9k people have keys now but 8k in discord and still waiting for my key π canβt wait to play it. Miss my days on atlas need that feeling again
I'll see if I can corner Yar or Bam when they get back
right
@surreal sierra can you please find out where the local files are stored beyond "SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Crosswind Playtest" like Appdata somewhere maybe. I'm trying to delete all files and reinstalling
same situation
the only other file locations I know of are C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\R5
theres a program called PC Cleaner, when you uninstall stuff it asks if you want to delete all the files of a game, might delete all of it for you
i wanna know the playercount
cus steam charts playercount has to be inaccurate its always saying arouind 200ish
it cant be that low man
sigh
morning
@fast orchid i have a question ? I won an access key but I don't really know where to put the code
steam code thing at bottom left of steam
@surreal sierra Created a thread in #1298615153209638942. Also found a work around. Uninstalled game and deleted all files from steamapps folder. Deleted R5 folder. Region now set to NA
congrats btw enjoy
Send me code, I will help.π
Excellent. Glad to hear its working, and the Devs do read each bug report to better prevent the bugs from happening again.
hit this button
games>activate a product on steam
ok thanks
no luck today goodnight everyone!
These drowning have killed me so many times it's unreal
night night
watching saltysuma since I'm not good enough
character creation customization is good
Any key ?
Hey i filled out the creator request and I was wondering how long it takes for me to get a response.
I did as well Cletus. I'm just gonna stream like I am now while I wait
no
i just know off chance i get it my mate is not getting it
only unless your friend gets invited too from one of the available methods
i like the game jus alot too do by yourself
My journey begins!
congrats way to rub it in
@worthy quarry hard to say - we on the launch of the playtest which is their focus and they have a lot of applicants to go through - Be patient and hopefully you'll get selected, if not you can still use the content creator pack in the top under pinned messages
at bottom of pinned
Will this be released as Early Access or 1.0?
neither. Its an alpha right now
@pearl steeple this is Early Alpha - Release isn't expected until late 2026
how do you get access?
We believe full release next year will be 1.0
second pinned comment
Yeah, I got that from the Alpha Playlist, I was wondering about the future.
anyone was able to get the first row of fishes ?
As far as we know there will be more playtests as time goes on but no earlyt access release.
However that is not 100% confirmed and whatever is said is subject to change
right now the focus is on the alpha
@tardy nest try fishing at the various islands - there's over a dozen islands in this playtest, you might just have better luck at the others - If you haven't found them, continue your story π
@surreal sierra so the only way is on steam where these requests rarely accepted ok
I know i finished all this is the only thing left tried on every island π
From my experience your best bet is going on twitch and joining all the giveaway streams
still low odds but ive been a part of a few giveaways with only 15-20 entries
still no key still crying :/
gotcha
your not alone brev
There are Streamers offering keys for paid subs. Surely that's not allowed?
no way
i havent seen that ive only seen follows and some have weird bots that can make you watch for a certain amount of time
But yea if theyre forcing subs for the keys thats insane
report them for sure
ER_TRAPY
can we just bring back the lottery here? streamers basically get to pick and choose their buddies
Report how?
entirely different game mechanical genre wise, but as a big pirate enthusiast I'll take having more pirate games
DM one of mods with link to the streamer
idk sea of thieves lacks the base building and mining for sure, but there's only so many pirate genres and it plays similarly in many ways. some better or worse
It's healthy competition regardless
ill try anything once
none of that please
This game has the potential to perfectly do exactly what dune was trying to do and completely dominate the online survival scene
I get we're excited to play the game
jeezee start a lottery for codes NOW
Dune's also great
I have 5 codes to use
But this game has similarly infinite potential via the server structure
yeah Dune Awakening also has a lot of fantastic evolution of the survival mmo genre
PLS SIR DO NOT REDEEM IT
Are you a mod? I saw a guy on Twitch offering keys for paid twitch subs.
why hold on to them?
The plug and play server structure allows for them to add infinite content of various types
