In The Division 2, the servers are down on March 14th and 15th. Massive is fixing initial issues, including a loot exploit. All info on the server status and update 1.03.
Update March 16th: You can find our server downtime article for Saturday, March 16th, here.
Update March 15th – 4:35 PM: Massive will perform a server restart in 30 minutes. This means that around 5 PM the servers will be down today, March 15th. Expected to be only for 5 minutes. Then you can continue playing. If you try to log in during the server restart, you will receive the error code Mike-01.
Reports from March 14th:
Update 10:30 PM: Massive has discovered an issue with the patch. The maintenance will be repeated in the near future.
Update 10:15 PM: Today, at 10:30 PM, the servers will go down again. Expected for 20 minutes. This means from 10:50 PM you should be able to play again.
Three issues are being fixed:
- Players could get stuck at the wrong world tier when they completed strongholds in a group without having the required gear score.
- Players could not speak with Agent Kelso in the Castle settlement.
- Players could receive multiple Ivory Keys from the same source.
These issues will be fixed during the server restart tonight.
Original article from this morning:
Massive is performing maintenance on The Division 2 today, accompanied by several hours of server downtime.
When are the servers down? Here are the crucial times:
- The servers go offline at 9 AM. You can no longer log in. If you are still in the game, you will be kicked out.
- The servers come back online around 12 PM. However, this is only an estimated time that may vary.
- During the maintenance, update 1.03 will be made available. It is 584 MB in size.
- Update: 11:33 AM – several users report that the servers are back online. I was able to log in just now (PS4).
According to Massive, maintenance will now be performed every Thursday to maintain the server infrastructure and fix issues. However, the times may vary.
Massive fixes initial issues – Patch Notes
What changes today? Here are the most important changes:
- A bug in the Castle settlement is being fixed, where players got stuck in the settlement progress. In The Division 2, there are several settlements. You first discover the Theater settlement, and later the Castle settlement is added. The bug occurred in the latter.
- A loot exploit is being fixed. We did not report on this exploit – however, it is positive that Massive can react quickly. According to user reports, the exploit is reminiscent of the Bullet King exploit from The Division 1.
- Additionally, the update log mentions improvements to sound issues in cinematics.
- Meanwhile, the full patch notes have been released. You can find them in the link. Several other minor bug fixes have also been made.
This is what Massive has planned for future patches: In the near future, more issues will be addressed, including:
- A weapon skin bug. When selling a weapon that has a skin, it may happen that the weapon skin is also lost. If such a skin that you purchased with money goes missing, you should contact Ubi support. A fix is in the works.
- In the endgame, there is a progress issue at world tiers 3 and 4. It is advised to avoid playing strongholds that move you to the next world tier with other players who are on different world tiers. A permanent fix is in progress.
Currently, Massive is focusing with the highest priority on the “health” of the game, so that the experience is as good as possible for everyone. Only after that will new content be unlocked.
