Maintenance duration
This March update will involve an extended maintenance period of up to 6 hours instead of the usual 3 hours, as we continue our ongoing work to improve server stability and overall performance.
Crashes and Disconnections / Auto-Kicks
Our main goal is to provide players with a smooth and comfortable gameplay experience. Therefore, issues related to crashes and disconnections/auto-kicks remain our highest priority.
While the latest hotfix significantly reduced the number of crashes — as confirmed by both player reports and internal logs — we were still observing several recurring issues. In this patch, we have addressed a number of them and implemented additional stability improvements.
Unfortunately, not all crashes can be resolved on our side. Some issues are caused by conflicts between the operating system and hardware, which are beyond the game’s control. However, we are providing guidance to help players avoid certain problems.
G12 Crash Investigation
We have investigated the G12 crash.
Our findings indicate that it is caused by issues with the DirectX driver or the graphics card.
Players experiencing this issue (receiving the "G12" error code after a crash) should:
Update their graphics card drivers to the latest version.
If their system has both integrated and discrete graphics cards (commonly found in laptops), try disabling the integrated graphics card through the BIOS.
Please note: On the latest versions of Windows 11, the system may lose detection of graphics devices when switching between GPUs. This behavior is related to the operating system and cannot be fixed on the game’s side.
Other Crash related Fixes
Fixed several crashes caused by errors in the audio system.
Implemented additional internal stability improvements to reduce unexpected disconnections and auto-kicks.
We will continue monitoring crash reports and player feedback to further improve stability in future updates. We are also planning to give more readable error messages in case of crash\\autokicks to speed up the investigations in future.
