To access the new Open Beta, find Kingdom in your Steam library, right-click and select "Properties". From there find the BETAS tab. Once in the BETAS tab select "open_beta" in the opt in dropdown list. To go back to the regular build, repeat these steps and select "NONE - opt out of all betas" from the same dropdown list on the BETAS tab. Also, all saves will remain for the current version and for the Beta. FYI - no code required.
We set up a sub forum for this specifically and prefer you post there to help us keep track.
