Redeemed Code. Can't Download

Redeemed the code, apparently successfully. I can't find any viable place to download the game. On Steam, I can only add it to my cart, where it asks for payment. I tried to download the standalone installer and I get fatal errors every time I try to use it, even when run as admin. I'm glad I didn't pay for the thing, I guess.

so if you bought the code thru the website, restart steam, and it should give you the base game either in you library or when you search in the store "Path of Exile 2" it should say already in library.

At least that worked for me.

Thanks...gave that a try, but no joy.

I guess the code is a lie.

Figured it out, thanks to another user, not any kind of staff.

Needed to get the steam key here:
https://www.pathofexile.com/my-account/early-access

Never mind. Managed to download the game, but when I try logging in, it says I don't have early access. What a clusterfuck.
