Launch Stability Hotfix #1: forced restart and batched login

Season 1Hotfix

On 10 September 2026 BULKHEAD shipped a small client update aimed at the problems seen since launch.

What was fixed

The hotfix targets several launch issues, including:

  • Players being unable to join servers.
  • Players getting unexpectedly kicked from servers mid-match.
  • Long login queue times.

How the rollout worked

  • Everyone logged in at the time was forced to close WARDOGS and restart.
  • On relaunch, the game prompted a client update download.
  • After updating, all players went back into the login queue.
  • Players were then let in in controlled batches, with the batch size increased gradually as servers filled up successfully.

What it means for players

If you were sent back to the login queue after updating, that was intentional: the team was ramping up access step by step while monitoring the situation.
