The game shows connection error 80130182 : “The Authorization server is unavailable.”
I cannot enter War Thunder.
MODERATOR’S NOTICE:
If you are playing through Steam, go to WT Properties > General > Advanced Launch > Manual Game Update. This will resolve the server issue.
In case of the launcher opening and permanently looking for updates (but not finding any), please end Steam’s task and run it again as administrator.

I’m currently experiencing the same issue; it appears the server has crashed.

Perhaps they forgot to feed the hamster over Christmas.

Who knows, maybe they fed it too much and it can’t run anymore!
