Since it’s currently 1:51 AM PST, you are likely seeing the “Connecting to Server” message because the maintenance break is in its final transition phase.
While the “Maintenance” screen has disappeared for some, the servers are currently “buckling” as thousands of players try to log in at once to see the new update. Here is exactly what is happening and what you should do:
🚦 Current Status: Server Overload
The update is live, but Supercell is likely using a “staggered login” or the servers have temporarily crashed due to high traffic.
The 92% or “Connecting…” Loop: This is a classic sign that the game client is ready, but the server is too busy to “handshake” with your device.
🛠️ Immediate Fixes to Try
Check for an Optional Update: Go to the Google Play Store or App Store. A small “optional” patch (likely Version 65.x) was just released to fix this specific connecting issue. You must download it manually.
The “Airplane Mode” Flush: * Close Brawl Stars completely.
Turn on Airplane Mode for 15 seconds.
Turn it off, wait for your 5G/Wi-Fi to stabilize, and relaunch.
Clear Cache (Android): Go to Settings > Apps > Brawl Stars > Storage > Clear Cache. Do not clear data unless your account is backed up to Supercell ID.
Avoid the “Retry” Button: If you get a “Login Failed” or “Connection Error” pop-up with a retry button, wait 30 seconds before hitting it. Rapidly tapping “Retry” can sometimes get your IP temporarily throttled by the server’s anti-spam filter.
