Earlier this week we released a statement and a list of known critical issues in World War 3. The Closed Beta launch got off to a rocky start, but it was important for us to commit to an improved gameplay experience as soon as possible. As we approach the second weekend of the CBT, we’re delighted that we can make good on that promise with successful fixes for several critical issues. 

We’re already hearing great feedback from the community and seeing fewer disruptive technical issues after the latest patches. Although we’re not out of the woods yet, we wanted to reassure you that World War 3 is getting better every day. Thanks to your unwavering support for the game and the detailed feedback you provide, we’re moving closer and closer to the awesome experience we envision and that you deserve.

Issues resolved in the latest round of patches include: 

• Servers crashing
  
• Matches not starting from queue
  
• Statistics not working
  
• Reduced number of timeouts and login issues

We’re still investigating issues relating to timeouts, logins, crashes when launching, audio, spatial audio, 3D environments, statistics, and working on adding the ability to transfer items to the game from the website Inventory. For a full list of known and fixed issues in World War 3, check out the dedicated article.

Dear World War 3 Community,

The first weekend of the Closed Beta Test is over. Thank you for playing, after a long development cycle it’s been amazing to see the game in your hands and the sheer amount of passion on display for it! However, the launch hasn't been as smooth we'd have liked.

We want you to know that The Farm 51 is urgently working on fixes for issues identified thanks to your help. This includes server crashes, player timeouts, matches not starting from the queue, RPC errors in queues and ongoing matches, and client crashes while launching the game. We’re aiming to deliver several critical fixes by the end of this week, so please keep an eye on our social media channels for updates.

Other issues we’re actively investigating relate to audio, spatial audio, 3D environments, statistics, and the ability to transfer items to the game from the website Inventory.

The road through Closed Beta was never going to be without its bumps, but we thank you for your patience and understanding as we manoeuvre them together. We hope that with your continued support, we can provide a more stable and enjoyable gameplay experience as soon as possible.

Be sure to keep an eye on the list of current known issues and their status. We will post future maintenance news on Twitter, and there’s also an official World War 3 Discord channel where you can get news about maintenance and patches, discuss the game with other players, and report feedback directly to us.
