War Thunder players across the globe are currently facing the frustrating “Failed to Load Player Profile” error, preventing them from logging into the game. This error, which is often linked to Connection Error: 81110013, is not an isolated incident — it’s part of an ongoing technical issue caused by unplanned server maintenance.
What Causes the “Failed to Load Player Profile” Error?
This error occurs when War Thunder servers are unable to fetch your account data, leaving you stuck at the login screen. Usually, this can happen due to:
- Server outages or maintenance
- Corrupted account data (rare)
- Connection issues between your device and War Thunder’s servers
March 5, 2025 – Official Unplanned Maintenance
On March 5, 2025, War Thunder’s developers confirmed that the game is undergoing unplanned technical maintenance due to unexpected server issues. During this period, many players have been hit with the **“Failed to Load Player Profile” error.
Official Statement
“The game may not be available at the moment as we are experiencing some technical issues on our servers. We are endeavouring to fix these issues as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding.”
This confirms that the error is not linked to individual accounts but rather a server-wide disruption affecting all players.
Player Reports from Community Forums
Players on platforms like Reddit and War Thunder Forums have reported:
- Being unable to log in for hours
- Matches not loading properly
- Crew setups and vehicle selections freezing
- Error Code 81110013 consistently appearing
One player humorously described it as:
“Another death of a server hamster.”
This highlights the widespread frustration — but also reassures players that it is not an issue with their own game files, account, or system.
What You Should Do (And Not Do)
Do:
- Be patient. This is a server-side issue, and there’s nothing wrong with your account or game.
- Follow official channels for updates.
- Wait for maintenance to complete before trying to log in.
Don’t:
- Don’t reinstall the game. It’s unnecessary and won’t fix the error.
- Don’t spam login attempts. It could increase the server load.
- Don’t panic about your progress. Your account data is safe and will return once the servers are back.
Is There an Update Coming?
Some community members speculated that the unplanned maintenance could be related to preparations for an upcoming War Thunder update. Content creators and dataminers have hinted that the dev blog for a new patch might close soon, meaning the new content reveal is imminent.
If you are seeing “Failed to Load Player Profile” or “Connection Error 81110013”, you are not alone. Thousands of players are experiencing the same issue. It is temporary, and your profile is safe.
Once maintenance ends, you will be back to the skies and battlefields.
