We acknowledge there are a subset of players exploiting a bug with ground vehicles that allow them to 'fly' around the map.

We are actively working on a server sided hotfix for this.

In the meantime, anyone caught abusing will be perma banned. You have been warned.

@JaffaParty @WARDOGS We take reports like this extremely seriously and have actively investigated the claim presented.

We see no evidence beyond the original tweet to substantiate the posters claim and zero evidence of any RCE occuring.

📢 PSA: We have made 2 key balance changes.

Within the next 12 hours, the IR Rangefinders will be disabled in the vendor until Season 02, where they will require batteries to use. In this instance, we agree with player sentiment and they cross the line into being too overpowered.

The CWIS also now destroys the havoc in around 6 seconds as opposed to 12. We acknowledge we overcorrected this in the previous patch and have hotfixed the issue this morning. No new client download required.

Heads-up 📢

A hotfix is planned for tomorrow, Friday 2nd, at 08:00 UTC, to address minor security and stability issues affecting some players.

Expected downtime is one hour.

📢 PSA 'WD-L020 Crash Error'

We are aware that some players have recently started encountering a WD-L020 error when launching WARDOGS. Our preliminary investigation has identified a potential compatibility issue related to the latest Windows 11 update, KB5124010. Microsoft lists KB5124010 as a September 22 preview update for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, rather than a regular security update.

Our team is actively investigating the issue and working on a solution. We appreciate your patience while we get this resolved.

If you would prefer not to wait for a fix, rolling back Windows update KB5124010 may allow you to launch the game again.

Instructions on how to do so can be found here:
https://t.co/78ctweTQu0

If you’re not comfortable removing a Windows update, we recommend leaving it installed and waiting while we work on a resolution.

We apologise for the inconvenience this is causing and appreciate your patience while our team investigates.
