Wuthering Waves Version 1.1 maintenance took place on June 28, 2024, from 06:00 to 13:00 UTC+8. That was a planned seven-hour outage, running from 22:00 UTC on June 27 to 05:00 UTC on June 28. The countdown connected to this event has expired, so it should be read as an archive rather than a live timer. Players could not log in during the announced maintenance window, and Kuro Games listed 300 Astrites plus 2 Crystal Solvent as compensation.
Is the Wuthering Waves 1.1 countdown still active?
No. The Version 1.1 countdown was for a maintenance window that ended in 2024. A page showing zero time remaining or a “server under maintenance” status is displaying a historical snapshot, not counting down to a current outage.
Version 1.1, titled “Thaw of Eons,” was scheduled for June 28, 2024. The date matters because some search snippets and summaries have shown July 28, but the contemporaneous schedule, the official patch-notes date and the developer timeline all identify June 28.
When was Wuthering Waves 1.1 maintenance scheduled?
The announced maintenance period was 06:00–13:00 on June 28, 2024, in UTC+8. In Coordinated Universal Time, that is 22:00 on June 27 through 05:00 on June 28. The interval is seven hours from the published start to the published end.
The June 2 developer timeline said Version 1.0 would continue until 05:59 UTC+8 on June 28. Server downtime and the Version 1.1 implementation were then scheduled after that point. This explains why players saw the live-service transition at the end of the Version 1.0 schedule rather than at midnight in every region.
| Reference zone | Scheduled maintenance |
|---|---|
| UTC+8 | June 28, 06:00–13:00 |
| UTC | June 27, 22:00–June 28, 05:00 |
UTC+8 is the anchor used by the announcement. If you are converting the time yourself, begin with that window and apply your location’s offset for June 2024 instead of assuming that a region keeps the same offset throughout the year.
What time was the maintenance in each listed time zone?
The contemporaneous schedule published the following local conversions. North American readers see the start on June 27, while several Asian regions see both times on June 28.
| Time zone | Scheduled maintenance |
|---|---|
| Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) | June 27, 15:00–22:00 |
| Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) | June 27, 18:00–June 28, 01:00 |
| Western European Time (WET) | June 27, 23:00–June 28, 06:00 |
| Indian Standard Time (IST) | June 28, 03:30–10:30 |
| China Standard Time (UTC+8) | June 28, 06:00–13:00 |
| Japan Standard Time / Korea Standard Time | June 28, 07:00–14:00 |
These are the source’s published conversions for the planned window. A city not listed in the table may use a seasonal daylight-saving offset, so its June 2024 time can differ from a simple year-round conversion. The date rollover is especially important in the Americas: the outage began on the evening of June 27 locally and continued past midnight.
Why did the date change for North American players?
The maintenance was dated June 28 in the UTC+8 schedule, but UTC is eight hours behind that reference. Subtracting eight hours moves the start to 22:00 UTC on June 27. Applying the North American offsets then produces an afternoon start in PDT and an evening start in EDT on June 27.
This is a calendar conversion, not a second maintenance period. Every region was referring to the same planned server downtime; only the displayed local date and clock changed.
How to check a location that is not listed
- Use the reference interval of June 28, 06:00–13:00 at UTC+8.
- Convert UTC+8 to UTC by subtracting eight hours: June 27, 22:00–June 28, 05:00.
- Apply the destination’s June 2024 offset, including daylight-saving rules if that location used them.
- Check whether the converted start and end cross midnight, then record both calendar dates in your reminder.
Could players log in during the Version 1.1 maintenance?
No. The maintenance notice warned that players would be unable to log in while the servers were offline and advised planning their time accordingly. Attempting to launch the game during the window could therefore result in a maintenance message rather than an account or network fault.
“During the maintenance, you will be unable to log in to the game, so please plan your time accordingly.”
That instruction applies to the announced downtime itself. It does not establish that every player was disconnected at exactly the same second, nor does it describe the behavior of a session already open when maintenance began.
Was 13:00 UTC+8 a guaranteed reopening time?
No. 13:00 UTC+8 was the scheduled end, not a promise that every server and region would be available at that exact minute. The contemporaneous guide stated that an extension would be covered by a further notice.
For a live maintenance event, treat the end time as the earliest expected return point and check the official notice or the game client for an updated status. An archived countdown cannot tell you whether the real rollout finished early, on schedule or later; the available evidence supports the announced window, not an independently verified completion timestamp.
What compensation was announced for the maintenance?
Kuro Games’ Version 1.1 patch notes listed 300 Astrites and 2 Crystal Solvent as maintenance compensation. Those amounts are historical context for the June 2024 update, not a current reward announcement for a new outage.
The published schedule does not establish a present-day claim deadline or a universal method for receiving the items. If you are checking an old account record, use the in-game mail and account notices associated with Version 1.1 rather than assuming that a currently visible message represents a new grant.
What did Version 1.1 add that required the downtime?
The June 2 developer announcement framed the maintenance as the server transition to Version 1.1, “Thaw of Eons.” It identified three headline additions:
- Mt. Firmament, a new area referenced in the announcement.
- Jinhsi and Changli, named Resonators for the version.
- Jué, identified as a boss.
These details explain the update’s context, but they do not change the maintenance clock. The outage was scheduled so the game service could move from Version 1.0 to Version 1.1 and make the new version available after the server work.
How should you interpret an old “countdown timer” page today?
Use it as a dated schedule reference, not as a status dashboard. A reliable reading process is:
- Confirm the page is discussing Version 1.1 and “Thaw of Eons,” rather than a later Wuthering Waves update.
- Look for the explicit date and reference zone. The relevant values are June 28, 2024, at UTC+8 and the corresponding June 27–28 UTC interval.
- Compare the page’s local conversion with the published table. A mismatch of one calendar day can be a timezone rollover, while a July date is inconsistent with the official version date.
- Read “zero remaining” or “under maintenance” as a completed historical state. It is not evidence that the game is currently offline.
- For any present-day outage, replace the archived page with the newest official maintenance notice and patch notes.
This approach prevents a static timer from being mistaken for a live countdown, especially when search results continue to surface an old guide after the event has ended.
Why do some pages show July 28 instead of June 28?
A short summary in the contemporaneous guide contained a conflicting “July 28” reference. Its article body, timezone table and the official Version 1.1 patch-notes date all point to June 28, 2024. The June 2 developer timeline also places the Version 1.0-to-1.1 transition on June 28.
For that reason, June 28 is the date to use when reconstructing the historical schedule. The July wording is best treated as a date error in the summary, not as a second maintenance appointment.
What is and is not known about the actual outage?
The evidence establishes the planned interval and the stated login restriction. It does not independently verify the exact minute at which every regional server became available again. Consequently, it is accurate to report a seven-hour scheduled maintenance window, but not to claim that the rollout necessarily completed at 13:00 UTC+8 or that no extension occurred.
This distinction is useful when comparing archived posts: one page may show the announced end, while another may have been updated after a notice. Without a contemporaneous completion record, those pages cannot prove the precise real-world restoration time.
What should players do when a future maintenance notice appears?
The Version 1.1 schedule illustrates a practical routine for any future outage:
- Record the developer’s reference timezone and date before converting it.
- Write down both the local start and local end, including a second date when the window crosses midnight.
- Finish time-sensitive in-game activity before the stated start because login may be disabled for the entire window.
- Keep the announced end separate from the confirmed reopening; check for extension notices.
- Save the patch-note page or in-game notice with its publication date so an old timer is not mistaken for a current one.
These steps do not make the 1.1 timer live again; they make the historical schedule easier to understand and provide a sound method for reading later maintenance announcements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still claim the Version 1.1 maintenance compensation?
The published Version 1.1 materials list the compensation amounts, but they do not specify a current eligibility period or claim deadline. Check your in-game mail and account notices for the historical grant rather than assuming an old announcement creates a new reward.
Why does an archived timer say the server is under maintenance when I can play now?
Some countdown pages preserve the status text captured during the original event. The page can therefore say “under maintenance” even though the 2024 outage is over; its publication date and version label are the useful context.
Does every country use the UTC+8 maintenance time?
No. UTC+8 was the reference zone for the announcement, not a universal local setting. Players elsewhere must convert the interval using their location’s offset and any daylight-saving rule in effect during June 2024.
Where should I look for a current Wuthering Waves maintenance time?
Use the newest official version announcement, patch notes and in-game maintenance notice. A page tied specifically to Version 1.1 is historical and should not override a later notice for another version.
