Diferent Build Version (Steam vs MS Store)

Hey there @KGBcrazy ! Thank you for the report! On Tuesday we released a new update (Build 28218 to address some of the initial issues preventing people from playing the game. Unfortunately, there was an issue which has delayed the release the same build to the Microsoft Store version of the game. This resulted in the build being delayed (which is still the case), causing a mis-match between the two game clients.

Make sure you’ve grabbed all the latest Windows Updates, as well as Store updates. If you are not on Windows Build 1903, you will not be able to find and download the correct client version.
