The downtime is expected to last between 1 and 2 hours. We will update this thread with any changes to the schedule as they arise, as well as the all-clear when the maintenance is complete.

Thank you for your patience! :+1:

Btw, I gonna take the chance to make a request, since devs would be seeing this: can we get a way to be sure our opponents are playing random civ in ranked? I’m bored of going random against civ pickers. Just played a game 2v2 in scandinavia, and my opponent were japs and mongols. Happened at least 5 times since last patch. Please!

Catsoup, ketchup… We are saying the same 11

Will this include the hotfix?
Why at this time? Every day around this time most players are playing the game according to Steam. You can take every other time…

Probably because it fits the american working pattern. 9pm GMT will be 2pm on the west coast.

Please fix some bugs. Some of them are very common and have been existing since FEBRUARY! Many people are frustrated.

MALAY. :crazy_face: .

Don’t expect Server Maintenance to fix bugs,

Those are updates that should do it

Why are doing this at 4pm on the East Coast?

Hello.

To make a server maintenace at 22:00 is in my opinion questionable but well it should only last one to two hours so I guess thats fine. What I can not understand is the fact that there is no anoucment for that on the main screan of the game. There are f events to unlook avatar but no information about an upcoming downtime of the servers. Would that be a nice place or you simply do not want to “overload” the screen with ussles chunck? Love the game. Have fun.
