The WARDOGS early access launch is finally here! But with the excitement, plenty of players flooded into the game's login queue only to see an error message, specifically Error Code 1147405308, which states "Failed to Authenticate With Online Services". So what does this error mean, and what can you do after seeing it?

What is WARDOGS Error Code 1147405308?

While there's plenty of reason to be excited about getting into WARDOGS and loading in for the first time, players seeing this error code will unfortunately have to wait to see the battlefield. WARDOGS Error Code 1147405308, as described in the client, is an online service authentication issue. As of the time of writing, this issue is currently happening for many players, so don't think you're missing out on the early-stage action. Only the players who got in before the issues started are able to play the game at the time of writing.

How to Fix

While the game is not currently available for players to enter, many players are seeing this error. And while it may come up again in the future for different contexts related to authentication, like servers being down for patching or internet issues on the player's end, for now, there's no way to remedy this error on your own. The good news is that BULKHEAD is actively working on authentication problems and is updating the community via social channels, especially their Discord. To keep up with the latest news about the WARDOGS early access launch and this common error, as seen in the beta as well, follow the developer's announcements on Discord, or stay tuned here as we update with the most recent info as it arrives.

Latest Update

According to Community Manager LOSSY from the WARDOGS discord server, "We are currently seeing thousands of players in the login queue, slowly filtering into the game and into servers as they scale. However - Some players are being put to the back of the queue - sincere apologies for this. The response is much, much larger than the Beta. Please hang tight whilst we resolve these issues. Will work to get all of you in-game as soon as possible." We'll continue updating with the latest info as it arrives!
