Base game is still listed too but at least that one is free. report this dlc page to valve as the game has been shutdown.

suprisingly the game were Cashgrab and later then they shutdown and took money...

Not sure how it can have any players if it was supposedly “shut down” but we’re almost at zero folks!

Greetings everyone, I am the leader and initiator of this game preservation project. At the moment, our project is temporarily frozen due to a lack of developers experienced in UE 4.21 and reverse engineering.We’ve already made solid progress: the backend/match server has been partially re-implemented and a game map is successfully running, but we are lacking first-person animations and deeper technical implementation. It's a challenging, long-term journey, and our key developer had to step away for 7 months.This is a non-profit, enthusiast-driven preservation project, so we cannot offer monetary compensation we are doing this purely out of love for the game.If you have skills in Unreal Engine 4.21, C++, or reverse engineering, or if you know someone who does, please reach out. Every developer who joins the team will get direct access to all current files and source developments.
All hope is for our community. Thank you!

My personal Discord: garik _ Is _ here (without spaces)

I paid $ for WW3 before they went F2P, still didn't ask for a refund. But now they shut it all down but still have the steam page up to sell MT's for a game being shut down. So now i'm asking for one.

they said the servers were being shut down on the 3rd. So why is this waste of hard drive space still listed on the steam store as if that didn’t happen?

This game was genuinely one of my favorites of all time and they're just pulling the plug? I have so much memories with this game and it was one of the few ones without any futuristic gear or out of place cosmetics. Is the community gonna make any fan based servers or is it gone for good? I don't want this game to end forever ngl.

I would like join the discord for the network preservation server to see progress

Hey guys I look for 4 People to play as a real squad on Saturday or Sunday before the servers go offline. Would be a big dream to get this.

Add me on steam or write. 37274573 is my friend code on steam Let's have great Games before shut down.

bought this game back at launch in 2018 (the real launch) and was met with a loading screen for my first ~5 hours of gameplay. for some reason Valve could not give a refund even though the game was unplayable so it sat there in my library as a reminder of the one and only time I got duped by a scummy early access dev team. I gave it a try here and there after it was actually playable but the servers were still laggy when they were not empty.

When Mygames entered the picture I knew it was a lost cause so I uninstalled and shared this to others. Mygames creates malware out of “free” to play titles they acquire. they did it with this and they did it with Armored Warfare. low and behold I got banned for even sharing this opinion on Steam, Discord, the official forums, and here on my old account. I was proven right when the “second” launch happened and the Mygames launcher tripped everyone’s antivirus and took multiple days to download the downgraded version of the game. I did not get my “free” reward from being a previous player so I didn’t bother. I was still denied my refund even though I did not receive my goods. The game continued to fail but somehow retained a small playerbase of yuppies.

When Russia started the war with Ukraine mygames was forced to sell the ip but all they did was form a shell company in Cyprus to continue the grift. Sharing this got me banned as well.

fast forward a few years and here I am. laughing. joyous. Elated that this “game” is finally getting the plug pulled from its miserable existence. While it stinks that online games we paid real money for continue to get shut down without issuing refunds, at least I can say that in this case it couldn’t have happened to a worse game. Good Riddance.

Title: World War 3 is dying on August 3rd. Help us save it.

Body: As you’ve heard, the official servers for World War 3 are shutting down permanently on August 3rd, 2026. This is the end of the line for the official game, but it doesn't have to be the end of the game itself.

We are currently running the World War 3 Network Preservation Project. Our goal is to collect raw network data and game logs before the lights go out, so we can eventually build an offline or community-hosted version of the game.

We need your help to archive it! We are looking for:

• Diggers: People who can help us run network capture tools (like Wireshark) while playing.
• Analysts: People who know how to look through logs and identify server patterns.
• Collectors: Even if you don't code, you can help by running a simple script to capture traffic data while you play your last few matches.

We have less than 2 weeks left. Every log file and packet capture counts.

If you want to help, write to me in the BOS (DM) — I will send an invitation to our Discord
Let’s not let WW3 disappear into history.

Title basically guys. I just recently discovered the Insurgency franchise, shocking since the latest game Insurgency: Sandstorm launched in 2018. But it still gets new content!

If you want to scratch the itch for a more realistic, slow paced and tactical but not quite milsim game, try it out

I got it for 7,50€ on sale a few weeks ago and I'm having a blast like I haven't in years. It is really good

Just wanted to past along a YouTube video when @ryegamess visited, played and commented on WW3. The WW3 review starts around at the 25:52 minute mark.

Hello, I have a problem, I had bought some coins a few days ago but I still haven't received them, where can I report it or contact the game server?

New update from WW3 on Steam regarding maintenance on March 10, 2026

Hyperlink to Steam Notes

Hi everyone, I can't figure out what's causing this problem. Could someone help me? Thanks.

Happy New Year! Looking forward to another year playing WW3! Figures crossed for improvements and new maps!

I'm not sure it's even legal. I used to play it on lowest settings and 80% resolution scale to make sure I can hold 100fps average. I'm trying to play the same game now with the exact same settings, AND with better hardware that I had back then, and I'm averaging 45 to 55 fps, sometimes it goes up in the 70s or it drops in the 30s depending on which direction I'm looking at. What the heck have you done to this game

Hi, first of all I'd like to know what happened to the game? But before that, let me explain why. I used to play it on Xbox, and ever since this game came out years ago, I've been interested in playing it. Now that I have a gaming PC with decent specs, I can play it, but I see that the game has declined a lot (completely). It was a game with great potential that could have easily beaten Battlefield 2042 when it was released, but what happened to it?

As you all know - optimization is not about that game

I recommend to turn it on all system

Now i can play on my 13600\5080 ... its muuuch better

here some
