Site flipped from clear-to-load to Updating after yesterday's SCUM patch. Not sure if I should keep trying the loader or wait it out.
How long do updates usually take, and is there anywhere besides the main status page that confirms when inject is safe again?
Updating means do not inject — full stop. Timelines vary with patch size. I refresh the status page and forums hub, not random Discord rumors.
EAC status on site is authoritative: clear-to-load or Updating. SCUM uses Easy Anti-Cheat. During Updating, loader may fail or behave unpredictably — wait for clear.
No fixed ETA — small hotfixes can turn over in hours; major patches may take longer. Support page mirrors status when load issues spike.
Last patch was ~18 hours Updating for me. YMMV. Game still launches vanilla while you wait — status is about cheat compatibility, not SCUM being down.
Set a phone reminder to check status every few hours instead of hammering the loader. Repeated failed injects clutter troubleshooting.
Waited until clear — loaded fine first try after flip. Patience beat spamming F5 on the exe.
