- Game servers are back online - 11 April 2026
We’ve been working closely with our backend provider to tackle the issues impacting the game. A set of fixes have been deployed which should address many of the problems players have been experiencing with logging into the lobby, connecting to servers, and unexpected disconnects.For the initial two hours after deploying the fixes things looked promising, and most players now seem to have access to the game. However, while it solved some issues we are still having some backend problems that may cause login issues and player disconnections from servers. We will continue to monitor the situation with our provider and hope that most of you will be able to access the game. We know the first 24 hours of Early Access didn’t meet expectations, and we’re sorry for the frustration this caused.Thank you for sticking with us, we truly appreciate your patience and support./CRG
