What it says in the title. The download link is not present in my profile.
Since you don’t have a forum badge, I’d suggest that you link your pledge to your account - afterwards it should work , I guess. 
Sounds about right. Any tips on how one goes about doing that?
Yes, maybe read the sticky posts on the forum. 
You’re welcome.
You see, I did read that. And followed it. Ah well, was hoping I could avoid contacting support but I guess I’m out of options. Thanks for trying anyway.
IIRC if you did not connect your kickstarter pledge and your forum account directly when creating the forum account, the developers have to connect them afterwards “by hand” so to say. I’d guess that they have a lot to do atm, since the Beta was just recently sent out to all backers.
I don’t appear to have beta access either, despite having purchased the Baron Tier (Physical) Special Edition.
I dont see any title near your nickname, you maybe don´t have your accounts linked?
I figured as much, but how does one do that? I used the same email address during registration?
on my profile, it says
Pledge: BARON (digital)
Yet i still have no link to download the launcher
Also the instructions to get badge say:
Create an account at http://kingdomcomerpg.com/60 using the EXACT mail you used at http://kingdomcomerpg.com/60. The accounts will merge again.
Except if you try to use the exact same email, it jsut tells you that you are already regeistered (shocker) Really getting angry now
