This is an advance notice that, in order to complete important maintenance on the system, Dovetail Live will be turned off from 08:00 BST on Thursday, 14 May. This will mean that all services that use our online systems (Mastery, Creators Club, Railfan Shots, in-game news articles), will be inaccessible for the duration of the maintenance. Players will not be able to log into our forums, but if already logged in, should be able to post. We expect this to last up to 24 hours, but we will endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum. We will confirm when the systems are back up and operational again. For users that were signed in, Mastery will switch to offline recording, and events will be saved in save files, up to a limit. When the system is back up, the next time the game is started, the recorded stats will be sent to the server. Therefore, you should not lose your progress. Players will also not be able to create a Dovetail Live or Forum account during this time. We thank you in advance for your patience whilst we complete this necessary work
Dovetail Live Update – 15th May 2026 The maintenance is now complete, and service should be back to normal. We thank you for your patience whilst we completed this necessary work.
I quite enjoyed Taymyr. It can be tough though if you've done some of the DLC, you'll know what to expect. Even the first map has a few tricks up its sleeve and you won't be spending much time on any sort of surfaced highway!
I've noticed a small bug today during login where it displays "Dovetail Live returned an unknown error. Please try again later." and it's not connecting me to my account. I have to press the login button several times to finally be login. I had never had or seen this problem before.
I'm facing this problem too this problem did not occur before the "maintenance" (and in fact never occured before)
I've had that a couple times before the maintenance. Sometimes just manually logging in sorts it, other times I have to quit the game, although when that happens I don't bother with DTL. Masteries aren't really important, and the game takes long enough to load as is
At least as far as I'm concerned, the problem occurs when logging to this very forum. I haven't noticed anything in the game so far.
It was just the forum, but it seems to be working normally for me today, I don't know for other users
Sometimes but when it starts, it lasts quite a while For example, it's better now, but earlier, or at the end of the maintenance up to today , it was like that all the time.
I have noticed that since the maintenance ended on Friday, you are asked to sign in on the Creators Club website every time you enter the website (despite me having previously logged into Dovetail Live - both in game and online - and never signed out on the CC website). Refreshing it a couple of times allows it to recognise that you are in fact logged in but this was never a problem before the maintenance. EDIT: It only sometimes does it. It is currently working for me but the above is something I've noticed in the last couple of days.
The team have found an issue with Dovetail Live, this should now be resolved. If you are still having issues with signing in, please let us know.
When launching the game, the profile does not log in, and a message appears stating that DTG is unavailable.
We are aware of an issue with Dovetail Live in-game. The team is currently investigating and will update when we have news.
I keep getting a message that I'm disconnected from Dovetail Live, I can't connect, and I can't log in either.
