Maintenance work is taking place today, August 17, at The Division. The servers are down for several hours. A bug is being fixed.
Since August 15, numerous agents have been active in Division version 1.7. Compared to previous update launches, which were always accompanied by error messages, connection drops, and severe bugs, this one has been relatively smooth.
On launch day, Massive had to carry out a short maintenance and then a few server restarts. Even today, Delta errors occasionally arise. Fortunately, the complaints and error reports on Reddit are manageable.
Today, Thursday, the regular maintenance is being carried out, which Massive uses to address a problem:
- Today at 9:30 AM our time, the servers will be shut down. The estimated downtime is three hours. So you can dive back into the global event “Outbreak” around 12:30 PM.

One change is mentioned:
- A problem is being fixed where agents did not receive all global event credits that they should have earned for completing a mission. The issue occurred while the global event activity modifier was active.
