Northgard News

Hello everyone!

If you are trying to play from Russia, you may have noticed that the mutliplayer button is currently unclickable. Meaning you do not have access to our servers at the moment.
This situation is unfortunately outside of our control and deserves some clarification.

Starting this Friday, our servers could not be reached from Russia. Following a thorough investigation on our end, we can safely determine that the source of the issue is exterior to our infrastructure. We suspect the root cause to be outside of our control. Thanks to the help and comments from our community, we noticed that players could join our servers by using third-party tools, masking their country of origin. As we speak the issue seems to be limited to the Russian territory.

To help us figure out how to solve this issue and asking for your assistance, we have opened a temporary Steam Forum.

Help us here

We will keep you updated on the situation via our usual social media channels.

Привет всем!

Если вы пытаетесь играть из России, возможно, вы заметили, что кнопка мультиплеера в данный момент неактивна. Это означает, что вы не имеете доступа к нашим серверам на данный момент. К сожалению, эта ситуация находится вне нашего контроля и требует разъяснений.

Начиная с пятницы, наши серверы стали недоступны для России. После тщательного расследования с нашей стороны мы можем с уверенностью сказать, что источник проблемы находится вне нашей инфраструктуры. Мы предполагаем, что корень проблемы лежит вне нашей компетенции. Благодаря помощи и комментариям от нашего сообщества, мы заметили, что игроки могут подключаться к нашим серверам, используя сторонние инструменты для маскировки своей страны. На данный момент проблема, кажется, ограничивается территорией России.

Чтобы помочь нам разобраться в проблеме, мы открыли временный форум на Steam и просим вашей помощи.

Помогите нам здесь

Мы будем держать вас в курсе ситуации через наши обычные каналы в социальных сетях.
