Launch Stability Hotfix #1

We have now released a small client update to help address the issues we’ve been seeing since launch.

  1. All currently logged-in players will be forced to close WARDOGS and restart the game.

  2. You will then be prompted to download the latest client update.

  3. Once the update has been installed and you relaunch the game, all players will return to the login queue.

  4. We will then begin allowing players into the game in controlled batches.

  5. As we confirm that players are successfully entering and populating servers, we will gradually increase the number of players being let through.

This client hotfix is intended to address several of the issues we have been seeing, including:

  • Players unable to join servers.

  • Players being unexpectedly kicked from servers during play.

  • Extended login queue times.

We will be actively monitoring the ongoing situation post hotfix and will be working through the night to see this resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
