Embark Studios has officially confirmed that the recent server problems in ARC Raiders are happening because of DDoS attacks.
This news explains why many players have been facing frustrating issues since the latest update.
After the release of the Headwinds update, players started reporting several bugs and glitches.
The most common issue was a huge drop in looting speed, making gameplay feel slow and broken.
Some players also experienced serious stability problems, including moments where their character could not move at all.
Now, the developers have shared what is really going on behind the scenes.
According to a message shared on the game’s official Discord, Embark Studios confirmed that ARC Raiders and THE FINALS are both being hit by large, coordinated DDoS attacks.
The development team said they are actively working on the issue, but the attacks are still ongoing at the time of the announcement.
The studio also confirmed that a hotfix will be released later today. This hotfix is meant to fix several bugs and unintended changes that came with the Headwinds update.
The strike team said they are making good progress, and players should start seeing improvements soon.
In their message to the community, Embark Studios reassured players that they are doing everything possible to protect the servers and restore a smooth experience.
They also promised to share more updates as soon as new information becomes available.
For now, players are advised to stay patient as the team continues to fight the attacks and roll out fixes.
Embark Studios ended their message with encouragement, telling players they will be back Topside once everything is under control.
