Paused while we talk to Bulkhead

The write-up of the game's backend that lived here is offline for now. Bulkhead asked how community tools reach the backend and read player data. We have sent them the answer, and this page stays down until they say they are comfortable with it being public.

Nothing here was a leak or an exploit. The page described the same sign-in and the same calls the game client makes, and it was written for people building community trackers. It comes back the moment the developers give it a green light, and it comes back the same: dated, unofficial, and read-only.

If you built against it, the ground rules still stand. Tokens are a live game session and belong encrypted. The server browser wants its own Steam account. Poll like a guest. None of this is permission.

The rest of the developer hub is unaffected: the dedicated server reference, the RCON OpenAPI spec and the map guide are all still up.
