Elite Dangerous servers are currently operational (UP), though there have been scattered reports of connectivity issues following the recent Caspian Explorer update released on December 1, 2025.
Here is the detailed breakdown:
1. Current Status: Operational
Server Status: Most tracking sites (StatusGator, DownDetector) report the game is online.
Recent Reports: There is a small volume of user reports regarding “Server connection issues preventing login” or “Unable to connect to network servers” over the last 24 hours. This is common after a major content update.
2. Warning: Maintenance Incoming (Tomorrow)
Since it is currently Wednesday evening for you, be aware that the weekly scheduled maintenance will likely occur tomorrow.
Typical Schedule: Every Thursday at 07:00 UTC.
Your Time (IST): Tomorrow (Thursday) at 12:30 PM IST.
Duration: Usually lasts 15–30 minutes, but can run longer if they are deploying hotfixes for the new update.
3. Recent Updates causing Instability
The Caspian Explorer update (released roughly 2 days ago) added the new exploration ship and various changes. Players often experience transaction server errors (e.g., “Blue Cobra,” “Taupe Cobra”) or login failures immediately following these updates due to high player traffic or bugs.

4. How to Check for Real-Time Updates
If you are unable to log in right now, check these official sources:
X (formerly Twitter): @EliteDangerous (They usually post immediately if there is an unplanned outage).
Frontier Forums: Check the News & Bulletins section for “Server Status” threads.
DownDetector: Elite Dangerous Page (Good for seeing if other players are having the exact same issue).
Troubleshooting Tip:
If the launcher says “Server Status: OK” but you cannot connect in-game, try fully restarting the launcher or verifying your game files on Steam/Epic, as this often fixes version mismatch errors after a patch.
