As per Honkai Star Rail’s latest upcoming update 2.2, called ‘Then Wake to Weep,’ fans can expect the addition of new characters, events, and missions, all set in the game. According to honkai leaks, to apply these improvements, it is necessary to carry out server maintenance, during which players cannot enter the game. This information is important for players eager to explore the new content, as knowing the maintenance schedule helps them plan when they can expect to dive back into the game.
Version 2.2 Maintenance Schedule
The maintenance for Version 2.2 is scheduled to commence on May 8, 2024, at 6:00 AM (UTC+8) and is expected to last for approximately five hours, concluding at 11:00 AM (UTC+8). As mentioned before, no players will be allowed to join any server or use any of the games functionalities during this time all the game servers will be closed. This is helpful to the developers so they get time and make additions into the game by tweaking and fixing issues so that players experience a wonderful time gaming after the update.
Regional Maintenance Timings
Since Honkai Star Rail has accumulated a wide international audience, the maintenance schedule looks different depending on the time zone. For players in India, operating on Indian Standard Time (IST), the maintenance will occur from 3:m 30 AM to 8:30 AM on May 8, 2024. This early morning window is deliberately selected in an effort to cause least disruption to the majorities of players.
Compensation for Maintenance
Praising HoYoverse for taking responsibility for the loss of server connection, the company has unveiled a refund policy for everybody. As indicated, to ensure that we satisfy players after the maintenance, they will be rewarded 300 Stellar Jades as the VIP currency after the maintenance. For the version 2.2, all the players who login after the maintenance event will get this compensation so as to motivate them to play since new contents will have been added after the update. According to honkai leaks, this is part of HoYoverse’s efforts to improve player satisfaction and engagement.
Countdown to Server Reopening
To help the players to define the maintenance period, there is a countdown timer, which shows time left before servers will go online. This tool is will benefit many players cutting across the regions as they will be able to schedule their gaming time so that they can be among the first to feel the new update once the server is rolled out.
Preparing for the Update
In preparation for the arrival of the new material, the player is advised to finish any missions or events that will be in progress when the maintenance commences. Further, having the game client updated to the current version will help begin anew once the networks are restored. From this source, any fresh information or honkai leaks or alterations to the schedule of maintenance will be obtained.
