Can’t download Broken Arrow Vanguard Edition and join early access? We know why

by

Following the triumph of Broken Arrow’s beta version, it comes as no shock that numerous individuals are eagerly anticipating playing the complete game. Although we are still a few days from the official launch (June 19, 2025), many gamers have chosen to forgo patience and participate in early access instead. This option is accessible upon purchasing the Vanguard Edition of the game. However, it appears that not every player is able to download it, despite the production being officially underway. One likely cause sheds light on this issue.

Problems with downloading Broken Arrow Vanguard Edition

First things first, let me clarify that Broken Arrow Early Access (or in other words, advanced access) is now available. This has been confirmed by the developers. So, if you own the Vanguard Edition, you should be able to download the game. If for some reason you can’t, try restarting Steam or even your computer as a first troubleshooting step. This might help resolve the issue. However, if the problem persists, there could be an underlying cause.

As a gamer, I found myself tempted when I heard about folks snagging the Vanguard Edition of Broken Arrow at a lower price on CDKeys, even before its release on Steam. Yet, it seems that these early birds might be experiencing some trouble accessing their games right now since they didn’t get it directly from Valve’s platform.

Currently, we haven’t received an official statement from Steel Balalaika yet. However, we can share a post from other developers who launched their game today – Rematch. On the official Discord of Sloclap, creators have shared that: (Note: The text in quotation marks is directly taken from the original source)

It has come to our attention that a few individuals who bought the game from unauthorized platforms like G2A, Cdkeys, Instant Gaming, etc., have had their orders cancelled. At present, SLOCLAP is not associated with any of these sites. For your convenience and to ensure you receive the game, we strongly advise purchasing it through official channels instead. Here are some links for your reference. Thank you for your ongoing support.

Although the specific games may vary and circumstances aren’t identical, it underscores the concern regarding unofficial sources. Particularly when discussing new releases, these alternative outlets can cause trouble. In such instances, only authorized vendors can assure a hassle-free experience for you. At present, we are anticipating responses from Steel Balalaika and Slitherine Ltd to address this matter promptly.
