Why a Product Is Temporarily Under Update
Learn why a product may become temporarily unavailable after a game patch and why developers need time to update and test it.
## Why a Product Is Temporarily Under Update
After a new game patch, a product may temporarily receive the โUpdatingโ status. This is a normal situation caused by changes inside the game.
### What changes after a patch
Game developers may change files, protection systems, interfaces or gameplay mechanics. Because of this, the previous product version may stop working correctly or fail to launch.
Even a small game update can require changes to the product.
### What the developer does
During an update, the developer:
1. Reviews changes in the latest game version.
2. Adapts the product functions.
3. Fixes detected errors.
4. Tests the launch and overall stability.
5. Releases an updated loader.
The update time depends on the size of the patch and the number of changes made to the game.
### Can you launch the product during an update?
No. While the product is being updated, wait until its status changes. Do not use outdated files or try to bypass loader restrictions.
You can always check the current status on the product page.
