Understanding WARDOGS server status

A status query can mean three different things: a scheduled maintenance plan, a developer report that service has returned, or a live connectivity test. This page provides the first two when evidence is available. It does not provide the third. Passing the scheduled end time does not automatically change this page to “online.”

Season 2 timeline: planned maintenance starts at 08:00 UTC, is estimated to end at 09:30 UTC, and a recovery notice is published at 09:59 UTC

If you cannot connect to WARDOGS

  1. Read the newest official notice. Check the official Steam feed for maintenance, login queues or regional issues. Compare the notice's date with the time of your problem.
  2. Check whether a client update is required. Close the game and review Steam Downloads. Install a pending update before rejoining. Some server-side hotfixes do not require a client download; use that patch's instructions.
  3. Distinguish official and community servers. A single community server may restart or use a different update schedule. Review its own operator's notice rather than treating one failed connection as a global outage.
  4. Record the error without sharing secrets. Note the exact error code, approximate time and whether several servers are affected. Use the game's official support route. Do not send passwords or authentication codes to a fan site.

How long does maintenance last?

The Season 2 announcement estimated 90 minutes for the October 15 window. Earlier notices included one-hour windows and a server-side hotfix requiring no dedicated downtime. These are different events, so there is no verified fixed maintenance duration for every update.

The recovery message was published at 09:59 UTC. Its timestamp proves when the message appeared, not the precise second all servers recovered. Our patch-notes timeline links each plan and release notice.

Official channels and time conversion

Use the UTC converter for a newly announced time, or the historical Season 2 time-zone table to interpret the last plan. The update time homepage keeps the next known event visible without inventing a deadline.
