Official launch support for queues, kicks, voice, crashes, graphics and the PC baseline. Community workarounds stay separate until they are verified.

CONTROLLER MENUS / PLAYER REPORTS
For double-input, skipped tabs or failed confirmation, read the controller menu guide. The conflicting Steam Input workarounds have not yet been tested; this is separate from mounted-weapon reload conflicts.
SUPPORT / LAUNCH BASELINE
Start with the symptom. Each card separates the official change from a practical check, and keeps the exact error message in view if you need to report it.

OFFICIAL CHANGE
Update 0.1.2 adds DEPLOY choices and displays connection status followed by queue position. The September launch hotfix remains historical context for join failures and kicks.
RECOMMENDED CHECKS
Confirm WARDOGS has downloaded the latest client update.
Choose Official, Community, Infantry Mode or Low-Level in DEPLOY, then watch the connection and queue state.
If joining still fails, record the client version, region, selected list, exact message and attempt time.

Season 02 adds sustained-high-ping kicks and a rejoin restriction until the next map transition. The victim-driven team-kill Punish/Forgive system can also escalate to penalties. A kick alone does not establish your account state.
RECOMMENDED CHECKS
Update and restart the client before testing again.
Capture the exact message and installed version. Ask support to confirm whether it is the documented ban-related message or a separate connection error.
If the issue continues, record the exact message and match context for a support report.

Steam players report mounted-weapon reload failures after rebinding inputs. Team17 says the report was forwarded for investigation; the community workaround is not a universal fix.
SAFE FIRST PASS
Write down your current custom binds and back up the local settings file before editing anything.
Restore the in-game defaults, restart WARDOGS and test the affected mounted weapon.
Keep infantry reload and vehicle or mounted-weapon reload on separate actions while testing.
If the failure persists, capture the weapon, input device, client version and exact bind sequence for the official report.
SOURCE CHECKED 23 OCT 2026Official source · checks are editorial guidance
Do not turn an unconfirmed community workaround into a guarantee. Capture the client version, error text, input device and whether the failure is repeatable before escalating. If a controller or remap issue remains, attach the keybind recovery guide and the current input report ↗.
