Re-send your survey, click the link in the email, and you should get to a page that says "download codes." This is how I got my steam code.

Ok so here's my understanding of the "chest bug"
If you played the game on patch 1.01 or earlier and patched the game up to 1.02 there's a chance that at least one plot relevant item chest will be open and you will be unable to obtain the item and progress the story.
E1: If you have already obtained the item then you're probably safe. If anyone knows of another plot coupon in a chest let me know and I'll add it.
A couple ways to determine if you are affected:
* Some previously open chests are closed again (check the 8-bit coin chest near the town as a good indicator)
* Some previously closed chests are open (check areas you can't reach yet as decent examples)
* HP/MP/Capacity ups seem to have respawned.
If you are affected you have some options. I can't confirm how effective they are but I'm just gathering info:
1) Restart the game. This seems to be the most reliable workaround but obviously at the cost of all current progress.
2) If you have a physical version (don't know if the downloadable version applies here), back up your save(s), uninstall the game, and reinstall from the disk, then turn off patching in your console. You may be able to progress normally here. I don't know if new saves work on the old version but I'll be trying this if I get hosed.
3) Wait for a fix. This is a coin toss. The devs know about the problem but it might be one of those things that trying to fix just causes a truckload of new problems. Depending on your patience this is the lowest effort option.
As far as I know ONLY PS4/Xbox One versions of the game have this problem and only going from launch patch to 1.02. PC/Steam/GOG versions all started on patch 1.03(?) and are thus unaffected.
I'll edit this post if any info is wrong or we get some updates.
E2: Potential problem with the patch revert workaround, do this at your own risk:

E4: Current status for X1

The Silver Bromide, though there may be another plot coupon in a chest, I haven't gotten that far in the game yet. Edit: The aegis armor while not strictly required for progress is certainly the expected way through an area and may also be missing via this bug.

This was the announcement just made on the Discord. Besides Switch, it also has an update for XB1 owners:
Seriously? When I press jump on my Pro controller or in handheld mode she straight up takes like, discernable time after my button press to jump. Is there a way I can get the PS4 version for less than 40 bucks digitally? I don't want to pay that when I know I can get it physically for 30, even if everyone around me is out of stock. I'm bummed. :(
Guys, a modder has replaced the backer portraits with FAR superior Kojima art! He even blended them and upscaled a few with AI. MASSIVE improvement to immersion IMO.
There is also another mod too, but this one is better IMO.

Like another member said, not natively but there's a mod:
Starting a file with different names (you can change the file name later) starts you with different things. It has nothing to do with your backer id.
If you want to see pics of them:

Kickstarter update for patch status' and IGA DLC
Ah, cool.
- Well, the first advice I can give is be willing to experiment with shards. There are a ton of them, and depending on your play style, you'll likely find some that work for you as a go-to set. I acquired Heretical Grinder early on, powered it up to near max over the course of play, and it served me well for the entire game.
- The same goes for weapons. There are a variety of types and they all have their own attributes, but if you find the weapons/weapon types that work for you, feel free to stick with them.
- Keep Wayfinder stones in your inventory. You can buy them cheap at the shop, and they'll save you in a pinch by warping you back to the safe house. There's also a small sidequest character you'll come across in the castle that needs them.
- Fast travel points take the form of rooms with stained glass windows. There's one right above the safe house in the village near the game's start. Make sure to jump up there and find it so you can warp back there without using a stone.
- When you get to the safe house for the first time, you may not realize it, but if you exit it back out to the left, a couple of support NPCs appear in that area. One of them rewards you for item hunts, while the other can raise certain crops you can use in food preparation (I point this out because it was several hours before I actually walked back through that door and saw those characters there).
Just in from the Discord:
Basically exactly how I envisioned this problem could be fixed - a sanity check on the key items vs the state of the chests they are found in.

The new Development update is live on Kickstarter. Highlights:
- The content of the balance update in detail has been posted to the Bloodstained forum. I suggest not reading past the OP as the rest of the thread is a dumpster fire. Notably, the balance update notes seem to include these bug fixes and other notes I don't remember seeing before:
- Fixed instances where Bloodless would not heal while using Blood Steal offscreen.
- Fixed shards that had memory leaks
- Fixed the physics bug on hair while using some accessories
- Fixed the crash after interacting with a bookcase
- Fixed items getting stuck on walls
- Fixed repeating SFX during Beal encounter
- Fixed instances where sliding into water would cause the player to get stuck
- Valefor's max HP heal is capped at 9999
- Adjusted quest jingle volume
- Adjusted lighting on GDN013 well (difficult to see that players can go through).
- Japanese release date is October 24, 2019 for all consoles
- PS4:
- Iga's Back Pack DLC releases tomorrow, August 2
- Update 1.04 is scheduled for later this month, containing the balance update, treasure chest/broken save fix, and localization improvements.
- Xbox One:
- Update 1.006 is delayed due to the allocation of resources to fixing the Switch performance issues. This update is currently projected for end of August, including the balance update, Overlord achievement fix, HDR fix, localization improvements, and other XB1-specific bug fixes.
- Iga's Back Pack DLC is expected to release with Update 1.006
- Steam/GG:
- Update 1.04, including the balance update, is expected to hit tomorrow, August 2.
- Switch:
- The majority of all development time is being spent on the Switch performance fixes, although there is not an update ready to be released yet.
- Update 1.02 is expected to hit any moment now. This update includes the balance update, bug fixes, and localization improvements.
