If you’re trying to begin WARDOGS and instead getting a “Failed to Authenticate with Server” error, do not worry. As of writing on Sept. 10, the servers for the game are down, and this is the major reason behind why you’re getting this error.
Let’s look at some more details and what you should do if you get this error.
WARDOGS Failed to Authenticate with Server error explained
The Failed to Authenticate with Server error is shown whenever you can’t connect to the WARDOGS servers. This game requires a persistent online connection for you to play. If your internet is down, this error can appear. However, the same can happen (and it has indeed happened) if the servers are taken down for official reasons.
As of Sept. 10, the developers have announced that they will be wiping all the servers. This will not only wipe away all your progression, but you’ll also get logged out. If you try to log in until the servers are back, you’ll get the error.
While we don’t know when the servers will be back, it shouldn’t take long. The developers have also announced that they will be raising the capacity of the servers so that players can enjoy the game without any stability issues.
If you continue getting the error even after maintenance is over, it might be worth checking your internet. You can also try your luck with different regions that are available inside the game.
