Bulkhead Interactive is releasing Update 0.1.2 for Wardogs on September 30, 2026. This Early Access patch primarily addresses a critical stability issue for Windows 11 users and introduces a streamlined navigation flow for the server browser.
Maintenance Schedule and Downtime
Servers will undergo scheduled maintenance to facilitate the deployment of Update 0.1.2. Players on PC (Steam) will be unable to access the game during the following window:
- Maintenance Start: September 30, 2026, at 8:00 UTC.
- Estimated Duration: 1 hour.
Critical Windows 11 Crash Fix
The most significant technical fix in this update targets the WD-L020 crash error. This specific instability was identified as a conflict with the Windows 11 update KB5124010. Following the installation of Update 0.1.2, players running the affected version of Windows 11 should no longer experience these immediate crashes upon launching the game or entering matches.
New ‘Deploy’ Menu Flow
To improve the user experience when joining matches, Bulkhead Interactive has implemented a new “DEPLOY” flow within the server browser. This interface update is designed to help players find specific match types more efficiently, with high-visibility tags for:
- Infantry Mode: Dedicated servers focused on ground-based combat without heavy vehicle interference.
- Low-Level Servers: Recommended entry points for newer players to learn mechanics in a less competitive environment.
Exploit Fixes and Security Warnings
Update 0.1.2 addresses several progression exploits that allowed players to accumulate disproportionate amounts of currency and experience. The patch introduces authoritative checks for revive rewards to prevent duplication and implements a cap on rewards gained from vehicle fly-throughs. These changes are intended to stabilize the in-game economy.
Alongside these fixes, Bulkhead Interactive issued a firm warning regarding the misuse of game mechanics. Players caught repeatedly abusing exploits or participating in Real Money Trading (RMT) risk permanent bans without prior warning. The developer stated that these measures are necessary to maintain competitive integrity during the Early Access period.
