Overview
- The error surfaced after an Oct. 31 update, blocking some players from starting the game or joining friends across platforms.
- Reports indicate PC and PS5 received the latest build first, while Xbox and Xbox Play Anywhere lagged, breaking crossplay and returning join failures.
- Embark has pushed hotfixes and partially rolled back recent changes tied to animation and connectivity, with the issue still affecting some users as of Nov. 1.
- Players are advised to force-check for updates, verify game files on PC, restart devices, or reinstall, since even tiny mid-session hotfixes can desync client and server versions.
- XboxEra says it has filed a ticket with Embark, and outlets direct players to official Discord and community channels for live rollout status updates.
