Is Cloudflare causing Arc Raiders to be down?

Cloudflare can affect Arc Raiders in specific ways: DDoS protection and CDN for assets. During a Cloudflare outage, you might see authentication failures, inability to reach the Arc Raiders website, or slow patch downloads even when game servers are healthy. Check status.cloudflare.com and see if other major sites are also unreachable.

Arc Raiders Cloudflare error?

If you see a Cloudflare-branded error (e.g. "Unable to connect" or "522/523" style messages) when loading game-related services or the official site, the issue may be Cloudflare's network rather than Embark's servers. Check Cloudflare status and try again after their incident is resolved.

Why are Arc Raiders patch downloads slow?

Patch and asset delivery often use CDNs such as Cloudflare. During Cloudflare issues or heavy load, download speeds can drop or time out. If the game servers themselves are up (per arcstatus.com) but downloads are failing or very slow, a CDN/Cloudflare incident may be the cause.

How to check if Cloudflare is the issue

If other major sites that use Cloudflare are also unreachable or slow at the same time, a broader Cloudflare incident is likely. Game servers (e.g. matchmaking, in-raid) may still be up—check arcstatus.com for live status. Website, launcher, or patch delivery issues can be CDN-related while the game itself is operational.
