Today there is a second maintenance for The Division 2. A fix is intended to resolve the connection issues that have been occurring since the first maintenance today. Once again, the servers will go offline. We will show how the maintenance works and take a look at the patch notes.
Update 3:35 PM: The servers are back up, the maintenance is now completed. Massive just announced this on Twitter.
Update 3:00 PM: There will be a second maintenance today along with a server downtime. At 3:15 PM German time, the servers will go offline for 15 minutes. A fix will be deployed to resolve the connection issues that have increasingly occurred after the first maintenance today.
Update 1:35 PM: The developers have identified the problem causing connection errors and are working on a fix.
Update 12:35 PM: The Massive developer team is still working to resolve the connection problems after today’s maintenance that some players are facing.
Update 11:32 AM: The servers should now be back online. However, some players (all platforms) are experiencing login issues. They are unable to enter the game or frequently get disconnected. Massive is aware of this problem and is already working on it.
What is today’s maintenance about? Following the launch of the Warlords expansion and the release of Title Update 8, the developers at Massive continue to diligently work on fixing numerous bugs that have arisen in The Division 2 due to TU8. This is also the reason for the frequent maintenance. Today, further issues are to be resolved.
Everything about the maintenance and server downtime on March 12
Important Times: On Twitter and in the official Ubisoft forum, Massive has already presented an official schedule for today’s maintenance. It is as follows:
- The emergency maintenance will begin at 10:00 AM German time.
- Then the Division 2 servers will go offline, and the downtime will start.
- The server downtime is expected to last 1.5 hours.
- If everything goes according to plan, the servers should be back up by around 11:30 AM German time. This will also mark the end of today’s maintenance.
Keep in mind: These times are not set in stone. Maintenance has in recent weeks been completed earlier than planned several times, but has also been extended on some occasions.
What changes today? These are the patch notes: The patch notes for today’s maintenance were already presented in the Ubisoft forum. Here are the planned changes for today:
- A bug was fixed that allowed some players to become invulnerable
- A problem was fixed whereby the “Secure the Area” objective on Roosevelt Island did not update when successfully completed
- A problem was fixed where friends were incorrectly displayed as offline
- A problem was fixed that prevented NPCs from dropping crafting materials
Also note that the patch notes may be expanded at the end of the maintenance. If this is the case, we will update them accordingly.
