Stuck on "Connecting to the server..." after login. Steam version


Hey,

For whatever reason, I am unable to get into the game. I have verified files, tried my other WiFi network, restarted the PC, tried launching it using both the Steam and the Launcher, and nothing helps.

Been battling this for about an hour at this point. Has anyone ever encountered this? What should I do?

Yeah been this way since 6pm est for my… going on 6 hours I tried everything I could on my end hahaha

Anyone have any luck yet? Down detector isnt showing issues anymore…

Yeah, I checked down detector and it seems like their servers are down or experiencing issues, hope they refund the premium time and extend the event time

Nope, I still can’t connect while a friend of mine has no issues whatsoever. It is so weird.

Just a random questions, who is your ISP? Maybe it is the problem on their end. I use WOW!

Same. I was trying to get that tank grinded tonight since Ill be busy most of tomorrow and the following day :frowning:

OMG SAME. That has to be it.

Tip: Use a VPN. I have ProtoVPN for free and it works well enough. Gotta wait til my ISP fixes itself…

Damn, that is crazy. I have had some weird speed throttling yesterday, getting like 1/3 of my rated speed, and now I might not be able to play War Thunder because of it. Tha’s so weird,

I’ll give a VPN a try tomorrow. Maybe WOW! will fix their shit before that lmao

Same here. Worrying though that there seems to be so few of us actually having issues. I had to go through a vpn too just to log in, at which point it instantly connected to the server. Hopefully this isn’t so rare that the isp isn’t even aware of it and doesn’t fix it.

Yeah I am using WOW as well. I used a VPN after seeing these messages and boom I am in.

Yup, used ProtonVPN Free and I am in. This is so weird, I’ve had WOW for years and never had this issue. I hope they resolve it soon because wtf

Yeah same! They have to be subnet blocking or something

Do you think theres a way to report that to see if they can fix it?

That’s actually a good question! Calling the support line would be hilarious
