Wait.

I am trying to re access the alphas. How am I supposed to have my key resent to me if I pre-ordered way before this Humble Bundle and Steam integration and the Key Resender link keeps redirecting me to a Humble Order Resender page? I never pre-ordered from that site so how would that work. The key resender used to redirect you to a page with the key present. What happened to that?

That video is null and doesn't do anything useful for me again, never ordered anything from Humble Bundle.

None of this is making sense to me. Or could it be that am I just overlooking something?

When I click on the first Humblebundle link, it comes up saying "Sorry I could not find this key.

If you have already purchased the product, please find your key by using our order resender."


Whad to I DO!?

You preordered through Steam and are talking about this link:
https://www.humblebundle.com/s?key=YOURCDKEY


Read the instructions. It clearly says that you have to replace the YOURCDKEY-part with your actual CD key.

Can someone help out with this? Haven't been able to figure anything out yet or Is this a case of me just having to re-purchase a game I already paid for or what?

I am 100% sure that you don't have to repurchase it. But I sadly don't know how to do it. Do you have a preorder section somewhere on the Wolfire website. Your key should be somewhere there. I actually think there have been posts about this here at some point, but so far I haven't been able to find them. I'm going to keep looking.

Don't forget that you can message the developers via email. I'm sure they could help you as well.

Read the first post.
You don't go to the link (https://www.humblebundle.com/s?key=YOURCDKEY).

You are supposed to copy it, paste it in our browser's address bar and replace the YOURCDKEY-part with your actual CD key.

You should probably read my post again because I explained this.

Ok I Figured it out!! - Ok what you do is when you are on the Wolfire games site change the http://forums.wolfire.com to --> spf (Which will then ask you to put in your CD Key From steam which is used on HumbleBundle.com , Then type in the CD Key and HumbleBundle will give you a Forum Access key , Then Type in spf/redeem Then follow Instructions :)

If you actually follow the instructions you won't have to do that.
The only problem people are having is sub-par reading comprehension. They click on the link to the Humble Store instead of first replacing the placeholder with their own CD Key.

That's because you haven't read the instructions properly. You are not supposed to click on the link in the first post. You are supposed to copy it, paste it into your address bar and substitute the YOURCDKEY part with your actual CD Key.

This is really getting annoying. People have to point this out every single page. Are people illiterate, lazy or are the instructions somehow unclear? Why is no one reading at least some of the previous posts in here or uses the search function?

Sorry for that, but this is really getting on my nerves.
