[QUOTE="Admin, post: 69939, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/01/13/arc-raiders-screenshot-1768288242314.jpg[/IMG] Embark Studios’ Arc Raiders and The Finals are suffering from what the studio has described as “extensive, coordinated” Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. The attacks were said to be “ongoing” today while the studio battles to mitigate their impact on each game. Arc Raiders players have been complaining of server issues all morning, with some unable to reconnect to or abandon matches. Some affected players are hoping they will see lost loot return once the issues are fixed. “Was just rubber banding and died because it was of course in front of a shredder, and now stuck on the loading screen while trying to join a new lobby,” said one affected player. It's unfortunate timing for Arc Raiders in particular, given the DDoS attacks come hot on the heels of [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/the-first-big-arc-raiders-update-of-2026-adds-solo-vs-squads-matchmaking-bird-city-and-more-tomorrow']Arc Raiders’ Headwinds update[/URL], which added a solo vs. squads matchmaking option, a Bird City map condition, and much more. Meanwhile, Embark said it’s working on a hotfix that will “solve some of the issues and unintended changes” made by the Headwinds update. That should be out later today.
