During the week of April 8th, we will temporarily adjust the map rotation as part of our efforts to test and address server performance issues.

Commanders, we hear you!

A number of you have reported server lag and performance issues, especially on our EU servers. We appreciate your patience as we work hard to get to the root of the issue.

As part of our ongoing investigation, we need to run a live test to gather critical data. Over the past weeks, we’ve been narrowing down potential causes. Our next step involves making a temporary change to map rotation.

For one week, from 10:01 UTC on April 8th until 8:59 UTC on April 15th, we will temporarily remove seven of our largest maps to analyze their impact on server performance and identify potential optimizations.

Which maps will be affected?

During the test, the following maps will be out of the rotation in both World War II and Cold War modes:

• Dezful
• Cao Bang
• Mannheim
• Fredvang
• Halfaya Pass (both World War II and Cold War versions)
• Azure Coast
• Nebelburg (both World War II and Cold War versions)

But don’t worry! To ensure a balanced and diverse experience, we will temporarily supplement the Cold War map pool with additional maps to maintain an optimal map rotation throughout the test period.

Get ready for a unique experience—the following maps will temporarily be added to the Cold War map rotation!

Important note: No matter the results, this is NOT a step toward permanently removing maps. We are committed to fixing performance issues without limiting your gameplay experience.

We appreciate your support and patience while we run this test. As always, we’ll keep you updated with our findings and next steps, and we invite you to share any feedback you have on this test with us on Discord.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
