ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

So, a while ago I bought the game on steam, which gave me donator status and access to the donator features. However, whenever I try using the item vault it returns a message that says only donators can access the feature, despite being a donator. I have a friend who bought the game at the exact same time and has managed to use it. Any feedback on the matter is appreciated.

You need to link your profile to steam. Go to te4.org, sign in, click on 'My Profile', go to the Steam tab and you should see the option.

I did link my profile to steam, it still doesnt seem to work.

Edit: It seems to be working now, for some reason it took a while to become available.

Is it something like this? Or something completely different? The game does recognize you as a donator, correct?
