How to Connect to Alpha Two PTR on Steam

As part of your Ashes of Creation Early Access package, the Alpha Two Private Test Realm (PTR) is available on Steam as a separate game in your Library. You can download, install and uninstall it separately from the Ashes of Creation Early Access . 

The PTR is where new features and bug fixes will be released. There will be frequent character wipes, lots of bugs, and focused testing of specific game systems. PTR testing will generally be directed in the Ashes of Creation Discord. Make sure that you have connected your Intrepid account to Discord to participate. 

If you encounter bugs on the PTR during testing, please use /bug in game to report

Note: Installing the PTR will install a second game folder, requiring twice the normal disk space as the Alpha Two Early Access alone.

You will see the PTR watermark on screen while playing

 

  • To Install the PTR, look in your library directly beneath Ashes of Creation for Ashes of Creation PTR
