Earlier today, Voltage Entertainment USA Inc. allowed the public to obtain a Pre-Release code for iOS users to download a Beta version of Queen’s Gambit before it is officially released in the App Store and Google Play Store. About 90 codes were made available to be obtained, which were all quickly claimed within half an hour after they were made available.
Luckily, I was able to get one! I followed the steps to download the Pre-Release and was able to successfully claim the app from the App Store.
If you’ve already gotten a code but aren’t sure how to use it, visit the Pre-Release FAQ on the Queen’s Gambit Devblog for the proper steps (it’s the first question in the post).
Unfortunately, while I was able to get the app installed, I came across a problem almost immediately after starting it up.
And it’s looking like this is a common problem among other players.
As it turns out, there are some server issues going on, and Voltage Entertainment USA Inc. is doing their best to get it solved as quick as possible. They warn, however, not to delete the app. Doing so will make you unable to reinstall it.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon enough. I will still keep going back to the app every now and then to see if it’s been fixed. Voltage Entertainment USA Inc. has always been open about their progress with Queen’s Gambit as well as being very good with communicating with their users, so I have no doubt that this will be fixed as soon as possible.
For now, though, it looks like we’ll be playing the waiting game until then. I’ll make another post (Round 2!) the next chance I get to sit down and go through it.
Happy playing!
