We have just updated Robocraft to implement a number of suggestions that have been made by a community from the ‘Robocraft Balance Patches Discord’. These suggestions were discussed in detail within that discord and if you’d like to join the discussions, you can join it here: https://discord.gg/qDRmyB3
We have made some changes server side to resolve an issue where players were unable to connect to our servers. We expect that some players will be able to play right now, whilst others may need to wait just a little while longer as the servers will take some time to update.
We expect that all players will be able to play by 19:00 GMT tonight.
Thank you for your patience as we resolve these issues.
We are aware that the Robocraft servers have been down, leaving players unable to log on. We are working hard to address these issues. We will share more information when it becomes available. Thank you for your patience.
Update 25.11.2021 The values on the plasma and rail fire rates in the last balance patch were incorrect, we will be entering maintenance tomorrow morning at 10:30 AM UTC to address this.

Changes have been made to Chassis, Weapons and modules. The full details can be found below:
In addition to the balance changes, Robocraft Premium For Life is now 50% Off.
As you may have noticed, custom avatars were removed and players have been unable to upload replacement avatars. This is definitely not intentional and was caused by an issue with our CDN provider. We have been attempting to retrieve these avatars, however we’ve been informed that they have been deleted and it is unlikely that they can be recovered.
We understand that this is frustrating for players and we have taken some steps to ensure that this does not happen again. We have addressed the issue and players are now able to upload their own custom avatars.
However, we understand that there have been players who purchased a period of premium specifically to change their custom avatar. To those players affected we are providing a special code that can be during the next six months which will let you redeem seven days of premium so you have the time to re-upload your avatar. Please redeem the code below to activate your seven days of Premium
7DAYSPREMIUM
Steps on redeeming the Code
Open the pause menu with ESC
Click on the “ENTER CODE” button
Type the code “7DAYSPREMIUM” and click “CONFIRM”
We’d like to thank everyone for their patience during this time. Now get back onto the battlefield!
Update 2 Hi everyone, We still need more time in maintenance. The next post from us will be when the game is out of maintenance, shortly followed by some further information. Thank you for all of your patience
Update We have encountered a few issues and are working to resolve them as fast as we can. We foresee another hour of maintenance and hope that we can get servers back up by 13:00BST
We will update this post when we have any further news to share.
Original Post Hello Robocrafters,
Robocraft is entering maintenance today. This will start at 11:00 BST. We forsee it to last no longer than one hour but will update you all if it should take longer than this.
It has been a tough week, we’ve been doing our best to restore all of the backup data for 13,230,547 accounts. All data has been restored up to March 9th 2021 00:01 UTC.
This includes Robots, currency, garages, avatars, experience etc.
Whilst we shared that the cause of this outage was a serious issue with the servers provided by OVHcloud. We never explained exactly what had happened. Many players did their own digging and found that this was the result of a fire in OVHcloud’s data centre in Strasbourg. Here is an image of the data centre taken by Xavier Gareau (@Xgarreau)
This affected dozens of other titles that were using OVHcloud and millions of websites. Thankfully no one was injured in the fire. In response we have opened new servers for Robocraft and they are NOW LIVE! You can log in right now and play the game.
Those who do log in to Robocraft between now and the 22nd of April 2021 will be able to use a code to redeem the following items
10 days of Premium
500 Cosmetic Credits
To redeem these items follow these instructions… While in game, press the escape key and select enter code…. Input the code below to redeem the items we mentioned above… This code needs to be in ALL CAPS!
ROBOCRAFT
We’d like to thank everyone for all of their patience as we worked on restoring the backup data and launching new Robocraft servers. The game is now live and we encourage you all to Build, Drive and Fight!
Freejam Games
Note: There may be some server downtime to address issues as we become aware of them. We are very close to 100%, but there may be a few issues that we have not come across during internal testing.
Please read the annoucnement below regarding the current Robocraft server outage.

Hello Robocrafters,
The team is making great progress on bringing the servers for Robocraft back up and running. Internally, we are now able to log into our accounts in game and are able to see all of our robots, currency, friends etc. We can also load into single player and multiplayer games.
We’re still in the process of internally testing the servers and working through issues as they arise, but once we have more news we will update you as soon as it becomes available. Thanks for your patience.
