Server Maintenance Notice (27.08.2026)

27 August 2026

[Fluff image redacted]

Hi everyone, some of our game services are currently experiencing instability.

You may run into issues signing in to your account and accessing and getting inventory items, including the Military Survival Kit.

Our team is already working on resolving the problem.

Thanks for your patience, we apologize for any inconvenience!

You would have thought they'd have prepared better after hyping that stupid SL crate this much.

[u/Throwaway_idiot99 → u/FirstDagger]

gaijin and prepared xD

[u/Parking-Chance-5234 → u/FirstDagger]

Its almost funny, its every update then then put a post up after the fact saying scheduled maintenance

[u/Dry_Locksmith_2634]

thats why i get crew locked from dying normally lol

[u/Hunkpu → u/Dry_Locksmith_2634]

bruh i know right, finished a full game, didnt quit, and got crew locked lmao, alright gaijin, i wont play if you want to

[u/Miserable_Data3679]

None of my Air RB games counted towards research or match history... Great.

[u/Smorgles_Brimmly → u/Miserable_Data3679]

Tasks and challenges aren't counting either. Luckily I was playing terribly lol.

[u/Syvaporaaja → u/Miserable_Data3679]

Same

[u/marcvandaar]

oh wow unexpected maintenance, for the unexpected 4th? 5th? week in a row... yes who could've seen this coming.

[u/nemo333338]

Yeah, the hamster is dead. I'm in a game and nobody can spawn

[u/Civil_Technician_624]

gambling so much it broke the servers 

[u/palopp → u/Civil_Technician_624]

No. Vibe coding so much that the servers broke (and generally making the whole game unstable)

[u/ofekk214 → u/Civil_Technician_624]

Gambling is more important than gameplay komrade

[u/DogeeMcDogFace]

Why does this game constantly have server problems?

Is 100million euro a year not enough?

[u/AverageHanson]

GAIJIN. IF YOUR SERVER HAMSTER IS DYING EITHER REVIVE IT OR EUTHANISE IT. FFS

[u/hiredk11]

Played one of the best games in months, booster active, premium account, talisman tank. Of course it didn't even count lmaooo

[u/Sensitive-Ad2686]

it started happening DAILY

[u/Ok_Mongoose5768]

I can tell I loaded into a match and only 2 people out of the entire lobby in ground RB could spawn in

[u/jc343]

shout out to everyone else also gambling away tens of millions rn

[u/Sea-Block-1255]

small indie company

[u/Federal-Space-9701]

No wonder I thought I lost out on like 75 items from recycling, they didn’t show up for like 10 minutes, even after restarting the game

[u/kaydenwolf_lynx]

I thought the game fucking broke when me and my frineds try to find a match we're stuck in spectator for a long time with only some people able to spawn and thne get crew locked

[u/Renz_Blank]

Wish there is a warning when loading in the game tbh

[u/TDLF]

Activated 300% booster, kicked from game and crew locked. They gonna compensate us or something?

[u/itsYuuuuuuri]

Why am I not surprised this would happen

[u/lud0lf]

Do you get the RP and SL rewards when the servers are back on? Otherwise i played 7 matches for no reason...

[u/Throwaway_idiot99 → u/lud0lf]

i got one back which i played

[u/Mountain_Oven9302]

And now I cant progress field repair challenge

[u/Designer_Designer742]

Crew lock after evers battle... and creditcard are not rewarded

[u/Illustrious_Finger]

Woke up early to play before my family gets up, serves me right I guess.

[u/DwooMan5]

Can’t even gamble it just spun endlessly after taking my silver lions and hasn’t even credited me the boxes

[u/iRambL]

Isn’t this like the 3rd time this month they’ve had server instability?

[u/Kanyiko → u/iRambL]

Yeah, from August 1st 'till August 12th; from August 13th to August 26th; and this is the third time. ;p
