Same problem for me too, except I got it on steam and never had to login. It tells me to press enter then gives the message: "Unable to connect to KartRider servers"

Hi SKSeer,

The beta starts June 3rd at 4 PM PT. Until then, the server won't work.

I was snooping around this website to find what I was looking for but I can't seem to find it so I'll ask here (pardon me if you've already answered this before.) Would it be alright if I streamed this game on Twitch.tv? I'm not really a huge streamer so I won't be attractive a big crowd but I just wanted to be sure if this game was stream friendly or if you have rules about it. Thank you for your time!

Yes, please do stream once the beta goes live! And feel free to share your stream here or on the Discord...I love watching our Racers play the game :-D
