[Update] The Division Servers Are Back Up
Update: Overnight, Ubisoft shared that the servers should be back up and running (a fact many of you probably figured out on your own). The publisher says the outage was across Ubisoft services.
Everything should be repaired, and you can get back in and start playing.
Original Story:
It’s just about an hour since The Division unlocked here in North America. As you might have expected, the servers buckled the strain of countless agents flooding into New York.
Users are reporting a range of error codes, appropriately nicknamed with letters in the NATO phonetic alphabet (Romeo, Mike, Alpha, etc.) The most common of these is Mike, spawning its own subreddit, appropriately called “f***mike.” Some (myself include) can’t even log into Uplay on PC.
Ubisoft’s Twitter account and the official The Division account have not yet commented on the outage. We’ll update once we know more.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
