Yep it's not working for me either, I'm following the steps to play the EA version (because i haven't sold all my stuff in EA), and it comes with "Beta access code invalid"
kind canyon
same
kind canyon
i want to sell everything
hehe I slept on this info about new game +,could've done it before updating
midnight marlin
This problem also happened to me. The "EarlyAccess" code doesn't work. I also want to sell all of my items first. š
copper thistle
Code still not working for me
ripe nacelle
Yes, still waiting here for it to work too
peak abyss
yeah me too
untold bison
Yea, same problem here ^^;
peak abyss
anybody gonna help us?

The beta branch is very likely simply not activated yet, as the main release branch is needing all of the teams attention right now.
The early access beta branch will get updated/activated, we just need to be patient 
peak abyss
but when tho? cuz like its 6pm for me rn, i have been waiting for 2 hours. and im not trying to be mean or anything, its just im a little impatient
copper thistle
thank you
jade vessel
Do we need to download the new version first before putting in the early access beta code?
peak abyss
Hey uhm, when can we play beta version again?š
kind canyon
yea i hoped to have some progress today but it's taking more time than anticipated. Should've done it before 1.0
obtuse elm
It's approaching 4am for them, so it shouldn't be too long for them to come back soon
kind canyon
Yea there's time difference to consider. Hope to play a loooot tomorrow:D thanks @obtuse elm for help
obtuse elm
I hope you get to play too!! Hopefully it won't be too long!

Still a no go guys,sorry
copper thistle
would like to get an update one of these days
it's probably like, low priority since there are people not even having their backer keys but like...... it's been kinda silent
kind canyon
Yea I asked on the Instagram and no one responded to pm
kind canyon
If they created this kind of way for players to get max gold as a reward for playing EA ,so that they would not start with nothing again then it should be ready for premiere. I know it is a small studio but it is doable I'm sure. Especially when it was stated in October that this option will be available from 14.11
At the very least they should provide some info when will it be available even indicatively
But then again maybe attention this game got even from players that didn't back it up on Kickstarter or bought EA is bigger than they anticipated
austere abyss
I feel if they said it would be available, it should have been ready for 1.0. I feel like a lot of things that should have been ready for a 1.0 release aren't ready
magic cliff
I wish I sold my stuff ahead of time now 
kind canyon
Yea welcome to our boat of infinite regret š¤£š
copper thistle
should we like.... email support about this?
burnt gyro
I am positive they are aware of the issue but are probably busy with 1.0 Logistics and issues. I am in the same boat as you guys...i really regret not getting ready when i had the chance to. I am sure they had things working at the time and just because that may be the case doesnt mean it continued to work at 1.0 launch....stuff breaks guys and gals. I urge you to take deep breaths. I am as eager to start me adventure over with all of the updates just as much as all of you but if you have learned anything from your farming lives....let it be patience.
kind canyon
We can still be patient and informed at the same time. At this point it's spilled milk crying over it won't do any good but they could at least address the issue. Even something like we are working on it or we will fix it when etc this is something that they could do I'm sureš¤· I admire what they're doing with this game but it is not the first time they say something will be and it is delayed or isn't working, feeling disappointed is not unreasonable. Alas we do not have a choice but to wait anyway so we can at least connect while doing it
turbid perch
Chicken Guy and Op are both right. Main release introduced a ton more people than EA, and they probably got inundated with bug reports. My guess is they're probably just putting out fires we don't know about so all we can do is wait patiently, but a "Hey EA Islanders we know about this and are working on it" would be nice.
slim oasis
I am positive they are aware of the issue but are probably busy with 1.0 Logistics and issues.
mood. I dont want to bug devs or make anyone feel bad
I did plan ahead and managed to get to 182k selling everything off, but I'll admit I want to not deal with the difficulty jank and intending to mod my early access save before new game plus
kind canyon
Noice sum, grandpa's inheritance:D
slim oasis
"we dont have much... just the family farm and Kash-Muny" ; could it break immersion? maybe. will my headworld roleplaying ignore it? yes, because I've dealt with much worse "I would not say that ; that would not happen" circumstances

Hello everyone!
Thank you for your patience, the Early Access branch code is EarlyAccessTesting. We apologize for the confusion and inconvinience š
austere abyss
THANK YOU!
turbid perch
Thank you

I also updated the code in FAQ so if this message drowned, the FAQ one would have the correct code

Thank you!ā¤ļø

Is anyone else now unable to start a NG+ with the save that was opened with the beta code? Every time I load the game back up after switching over to the new version (none selected in the drop-down) it just loads the game like it was still in the beta. Not starting over. If I knew that was going to happen I wouldnāt have sold everything -_-
slim oasis
yeah, I'm trying to see if I can make it work. I tried reloading the game with a backup of my Early Access Testing save.
yeah, it's working with my pre-beta code save.
ultimately for the best, I shouldn't stay up late playing the game right now, tho hooo this'll be a good new game+

I have the same question for this. Do we just have to load the previous save file (the one we played in EA) or do we have to create a new save file? Because when I load the EA save file, it doesn't start over š
copper thistle
uh oh
i JUST sold everything and i'm having the same issue, continues my EA save instead of NG+

maybe a reinstall might fix the issue?
but do back-up the save
its certainly a bug, but as a quick fix, reinstalling and not activating the branch might help
can't test tho rn
copper thistle
made a backup and reinstalling, i'll let y'all know if that changes anything
when i opened the save on the EA testing version it had some 1.0 features
copper thistle
yeah just reloaded it and no NG+, it just treats the save like a 1.0 save
burnt gyro
im having the same issue. I reverted to the EA mode sold everything and updated to 1.147 or what ever version we are on and the EA save load keeps all of my year 3 progress minus you know...not having anything but money lol
i have a logical solution the devs might go with. I have a strong suspicion giving us a code to revert to actual 1.0 will fix our problem.
copper thistle
was there a hotfix already?
burnt gyro
I think so because if you look at game version on the gamea main menu it says 1.147 or some such.
Logically 1.0 has the command to execute new game+ where as the current version seems to not have it.
copper thistle
cos a friend is playing on the latest version right now and they're getting the prompt to convert to NG+
the current testing version is NOT the same as teh early access version
so it seems like it updated our EA save to 1.0
burnt gyro
Did they revert AFTER 1.0 though?
copper thistle
yes, they're playing as we speak and getting the prompt to convert
kind canyon
So it's working as if that was just another update to EA ? You have all your progress?
copper thistle
yep
kind canyon
Hahaha cheezed
burnt gyro
i have full access to everything on year 3 summer 2
kind canyon
You broke the game
copper thistle
so turns out we can use out EA save after all lmao
burnt gyro
except no materials no tier 3 sprinklers no machines...nothing
copper thistle
but in all hoenstly i do want to start over to reset all dialogue and events
burnt gyro
I do too
kind canyon
Yea they were messed up In EA
copper thistle
before and after selling everything
burnt gyro
Scribs did your friend revert to EA after 1.0 and then go back to current version like we did?
copper thistle
ohhhh no, did you want me to get them to test it?
burnt gyro
See thats the pivot moment. It seems to be only those of us who didnt do our home work and pre live prep.
kind canyon
On the other hand it turned out to be interesting issue. Something was not tested properly when it comes to reversing game version, they hurried but will propably fix it in some time
copper thistle
i have 2.2 mil saved XD

i ended up with 1.5 for inheritance but i sold everyhing but artisan machines since i was on spring 10 of year 3 and i fast saved through the season and harvested/artisianed the seasons crops and then on summer 1 i sold my remaining assets
copper thistle
a part of me froze when selling thinking i should leave all the paths and fences, i should've just sold the items and not.... EVERYTHING XD

yeah so my friend did the same thing as us and the prmopt tp convert doesn't show up, just loads the EA save lol

yeah I swapped to my backup save from before the Code-Based Beta was available, and my old beta worked via the Current Version new game+
just yknow, it was prior to what I did in code-based beta (which I still have backed up)
strange elm
May I tag along in the group? Can't play new game+ after using the code and selling everything...
Is there a solution in the end?
burnt gyro
Not yet. THIS time we need to be patient...its really our fault for procrastinating and its not fair to expect an immediate answer to our dilema lol. Logically I think they will have us try patching to 1.0 and see if the new game plus execution takes place.
There are only a few of us in here with this problem i feel...i feel like im in the group of kids at school who didnt get the permission slip signed in time so we have to sit here and wait while everyone goes on the field trip
untold bison
Soo, we have a fix but the fix is buggy
Maybe I'll just take the L on the things I havent sold yet and use the NG+ with the funds I currently have lmao

For some reason I thought that the Beta save would also have a NG+ so I played that a BUNCH, like way more than I played my base EA save, since I thought that one was lost when I started the Beta. So when I loaded up the game at 1.0 and I saw my old save, I realized that I needed to go back in there and sell all my stuff since the Beta save doesn't count towards the NG+, and now my NG+ doesn't work at all. I did prepare by selling everything in my Beta save, thinking it would carry over, then found out it didn't and had to go into the EA to sell everything. So I tried to prepare, but it wasn't the right one š„²

Should we make a thread in #1105382785826443264 ?
kind canyon
yea why not?

To be fair I was in the hospital so I couldn't sell my stuff in time š¤£ but still agreed.

Adding myself to the thread.
All Iāve done is try to use the initial āEarlyAcessā to sell my assets and take a final screenshots of my farm but since it didnāt work I left the save alone for when itāll be fixed. I donāt know if Steam updated the hot fix in the background but hopefully the devs get the transition between EA and NG+ working as intended soon š

Updated <t:1700184600:f>
Hello Jess and everyone!
To clarify, the save file that you opened in the Early Access Testing branch is the exact same version of the main 1.0 branch, that is why the save reset didn't trigger.
Unfortunately, we never meant for Early Access Testing to be used this way, and thus we cannot support for this issue.
As stated in #ācoral-faq :
a pre-v1.0 test branch of the game in its final Early Access state will be available on Steam until February 1, 2024.
There, youāll be able to continue playing your Early Access farms until February 1, though please note that we wonāt be updating this version of the game.

Omg I see now I read this completely wrong originally and thought I could sell in an EA with beta and then transfer it. Well, thatās entirely my goof 
Iāll make due then

No worries! Yeah me and Soma are discussing it and I posted my statement, and then we found out about the bug report hence Soma jump in and try to understand the situation completely with the Early Access Testing branch.
I will update you all with details when we understand more!
or Soma will update with the details in bug reports

Hello everyone, we discussed it with the team, and I have revised my previous statement š If there's any update for the EA testing branch, I will inform you through this thread, but for now the above statement is how EA testing branch works.
lapis osprey
Alright thank you for the info. So if I may assume that we have to start all over from 0 with a new save file, right? Since the save file from EA eventually turns to be the same version of 1.0? I'm kinda lost here T____T
magic cliff
So does this mean we can't start a new game with the gold we had saved? I am a bit confused as well.
copper thistle
they're currently looking into it
[heres the link to the thread](#1174007750481682442 message) in #1105382785826443264
but they say NOT to open and save your EA file in 1.0, just leave it for now
brisk cape
but they say NOT to open and save your EA file in 1.0, just leave it for now
meaning I only can play from EA save from now, until they found the answer then i can redownload n play from ver 1.0 ?
copper thistle
i think if you've already loaded your EA save in the testing branch, sold stuff and saved - i guess you can keep playing on that save, but i'm just gonna not touch my save until theres a fix, or until they announce anything else
