WARDOGS Server Status: Where to Check Outages and Queues

How to check whether WARDOGS servers are down, where BULKHEAD posts maintenance and fixes, and what went wrong with the launch login queue.

Short answer

This page does not show a live server status, because WARDOGS does not publish a public status API that we can check. The fastest way to confirm an outage is to look at BULKHEAD's official channels: Steam announcements, the official X account and the official Discord. Maintenance and hotfix notices are posted there first.

Recent official maintenance and fixes

  • September 14, 2026: servers went down for about one hour starting at 08:00 UTC to deliver Patch 0.11. The announcement listed local times for every major region.
  • September 12, 2026: BULKHEAD announced increased server capacity in Asia.
  • September 10, 2026: Launch Stability Hotfix #1 targeted players who could not join servers, players kicked during play and long login queues. After updating, everyone returned to the login queue and was let in in controlled batches.

Official servers and community servers

Since Patch 0.11, the server browser is split into Community and Official lists. Community servers are rented from third-party hosts and run by their owners. A community admin can ban you from their own server, but that ban does not affect the rest of the game.

BULKHEAD's approved hosting partners for community servers are QONZER, BisectHosting and xREALM. For one week after Patch 0.11, community servers also paid a 5% end-of-match cash bonus.

If you are stuck in the login queue

Around launch, long queues were a known issue that BULKHEAD fixed with a client update and batch-by-batch logins. If you see a queue, fully close the game so the latest client update can install, then check the official channels for current maintenance. For authentication errors, see our error 1147405308 page.
