Bulkhead has sent out a short heads-up for WARDOGS on Steam: a hotfix is coming, and with it a planned break in service. Nothing dramatic, but if you were planning a morning session, it pays to know about it in advance.
What the hotfix changes
According to the announcement, the patch addresses minor security and stability issues that have been affecting some players. The developers haven’t published a detailed changelog, so don’t expect a list of balance tweaks or new content – this is purely a maintenance pass aimed at the health of the game and its servers.
- Minor security issues
- Stability issues reported by some players
When it happens and how long you’ll be offline
The hotfix is scheduled for Friday the 2nd at 08:00 UTC. Expected downtime is one hour, so plan around it if that slot is your usual playtime. As always with maintenance windows, it’s worth wrapping up any match in progress before the clock hits the start time.
This isn’t the first time the team has reached for a quick fix between bigger patches – we also covered an earlier WARDOGS hotfix and the larger update 0.1.2, which went after exploits and a crash.
Where to go next
While the servers are down, you can use the hour to tune your setup or brush up on the basics. We’ve put together a separate article on WARDOGS settings, and if you mostly play in a group, there’s also a guide to playing with friends. Everything else we’ve written about the game lives in our WARDOGS news section.
