Create your account

  1. 1Click "Get started" on the Queue Goose homepage and register with your email.
  2. 2Pick a plan โ€” Monthly ($5.99/mo) or Annual ($2.99/mo, billed yearly). Have a promo key? Sign up free and redeem it on the dashboard.
  3. 3Your 6-character pairing code appears on the dashboard after sign-up. You'll use it to link the PC app.

Download & install the PC app

  1. 1Click "Download .exe" on your dashboard, or the Download button on the homepage.
  2. 2Windows SmartScreen or your browser may flag the file as unrecognised โ€” this is normal for new apps. Click "More info โ†’ Run anyway" (SmartScreen) or "Keep anyway" (Chrome).
  3. 3Run the installer. The app minimises to your system tray (bottom-right corner of the taskbar). Right-click the goose icon to open it.

The app needs to be running in the background whenever you queue. It uses very little CPU.

Game-specific tips

DeadlockDeadlock
  • Enable AFK prevention โ€” the app nudges your mouse every 10 seconds to stop Deadlock kicking you for inactivity.
  • Enable Auto-requeue โ€” the app cancels and restarts your search every 9 minutes to keep the queue alive while you're away.
Dota 2Dota 2
  • Queue detection works even on a second monitor. Just make sure the Dota 2 window is visible (not minimised).
CS2CS2
  • Leave CS2 in windowed or borderless windowed mode for the most reliable detection.

Optionally enable Auto-accept to let the app click Accept for you the moment a match pops.
