Players experiencing error messages when attempting to sign up for The Duskbloods Closed Network Test may have overlooked a critical detail within the Nintendo Account linking process. The issue stems from a requirement to agree to the use of "Country/Region" information, a setting that must be explicitly enabled.
According to details provided, users must navigate to the Nintendo Account linking page and locate a small checkbox beneath the Terms of Use. This box, which pertains to country and region information sharing, needs to be ticked. Failure to do so can result in persistent error messages and prevent completion of the sign-up.
Further troubleshooting steps indicate that the country and region specified during the sign-up process for The Duskbloods must also align with the region set on the Nintendo Switch console. Discrepancies in this information can also lead to the same error loops.
The sign-up window for the network test is open from July 22 at 7 AM PT until July 28 at 6:59 AM PT. Successful applicants will be notified on August 7 at 6 AM PT. Test slots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
The network test sessions are scheduled across multiple periods: August 21 from 3 AM to 7 AM PT and 7 PM to 11 PM PT; August 22 from 11 AM to 3 PM PT; and August 23 from 3 AM to 7 AM PT and 7 PM to 11 PM PT. These timings are similar to previous network tests conducted for Elden Ring. As of now, an official release date for The Duskbloods has not yet been announced.
