WARDOGS Launch Stability Hotfix #1
WARDOGS Launch Stability Hotfix #1 targets failed server joins, unexpected kicks and long login queues. Here is what changed and what players should do.
WARDOGS’ first post-launch client hotfix focuses on access and server stability rather than balance. BULKHEAD announced it after launch traffic caused queue and connection problems.
What the hotfix addresses
The official post names three target problems:
- players unable to join servers;
- players being kicked unexpectedly during a match;
- extended waits in the login queue.
The studio is admitting players in controlled batches while it watches server population and stability. A queue after installing the patch therefore does not by itself mean the update failed.
What players need to do
- Close WARDOGS completely.
- Let Steam download the latest client update.
- Relaunch the game.
- Re-enter the login queue and wait for controlled admission.
If Steam does not show an update, restart the Steam client before troubleshooting game files. Players already logged in when the hotfix deployed were required to restart.
What did not change
The announcement does not list weapon, vehicle, economy or progression changes. The current published balance baseline remains the Season 1 launch build.
