If your game is crashing on startup, it might be due to a recent change on the Steam Beta Branch.

You can try switching off of the Steam Beta Branch (located in Steam > Settings > Interface) and see if this fixes your game. This isn't guaranteed to fix, but we've seen it work in a few cases. We'll be further looking in to why this is the case.



(To clarify, this is the Beta Branch for Steam itself, and not specific for BAPBAP)

[h3]Haters said that this day would never come[/h3]

Y'all have been glazing the new mode so much that we finally feel confident enough to do this.
BAPBAP is launching Steam Early Access on March 5th! oopsies, delayed until March 12th

The game will be Free-To-Play with one time unlock character pack.
Basically F2P players will be able to access the full game but with only five starter characters.

But pie - I spent so long grinding for Bishop...

Don't worry, because everyone who made a BAPBAP account before launch and for 7 days after will get the character pack unlocked forever on your account!
So get that reluctant friend into BAPBAP before March 12th March 19th @ 11:59 PM PST and they'll get the character pack unlocked permanently for free!

If you still want to support us on top, we'll also have skins and a founder's swag pack with exclusive stuff available at launch as well.
Lots more details on the Blog Post: https://baphq.notion.site/013-WE-RE-LAUNCHING-1a5d25b25d798090aa69cf54bdbefc4b?pvs=4
