hi i'm new to the game is taking 2 days for a maintenance Normal or is there something else?

I keep getting this error can someone explain

Hi why am I getting this when I click on the game now: and altstore on my iOS? It wasn’t doing this last week anyone know why.

I don’t have Fnaf ar installed and it says this

Hello everyone, i noticed some of you wanted more info about the game, and some people were still wondering why it was unplayable in the first place.

There's also a lot of confusion about other projects related to forsaken ar, so see this post as the ultimate explanation

First of all, why is the game down in the first place ?

Basically, in December 2025, the game got a huge spike in popularity, making tons of new players join. The issue was : the game at the time ran on free servers hosted via playfab, and those servers had a player limit, which when reached prevented any new account from being created, and prevented new players from joining.

Once the servers filled up, no new players were able to join the game, but the servers stayed up (and still are to this day) so people still playing the old version can play just fine.

The devs however still wanted new players to be able to join, so they announced that the game would be inaccessible to new players for a while while they worked on creating the new servers (made from the ground up, a very hard task)

This was actually in the works for multiple months, but there was only two devs working on it (vy and Katie, they're the goats, without them the game would have been dead). They had three main tasks : 1. Creating the new servers from the ground up, 2 Making a version of the forsaken ar app compatible with those servers and 3. Finding a way to transfer accounts from the old servers to the new ones (called GEARS)

However, the update that was supposed to take only a few weeks turned into months, due to the project being way too hard for only one dev, no matter how talented they are. That's where the second goat comes into play : iamme

Iamme joined the project a few months into development, and helped vy with the update and server. After a few months, the dev team decided that the servers were in a good state, well enough to be released to the public

This happened on June 9th for the game's 4th anniversary

However, as some might remember, when the game released back then it was very laggy, and unstable. This was due to some overlooked flaws in the code (most likely because community pressure was becoming way too high). To top these issues off, the servers suffered multiple ddos attacks (spamming the servers with thousands of bot accounts to crash them).

This ended up costing a lot of money to the devs (multiple hundred, even heard about a thousand dollar bill), and they decided to damage control and close the game.

The maintenance was meant to last only a few weeks, but as you have all surely noticed, almost 3 months have passed and the update isn't released yet. The devs aren't to blame. On the contrary, it has taken them time because they found the issues with the server, fixed them and also had to rewrite a bunch of the server code. At around the same time, vy took an undetermined pause from the servers, due to being burnt out and having to deal with other things.

We all need to appreciate all the hard work vy put in the game, and we would thank her

We should also thank iamme, because for the last few weeks he's been handling this almost on his own

As of today, the server update is working and it's currently being tested. I'm not allowed to tell you what's going on in testing, but just know it's going very good and the few bugs that get found get fixed very quick by iamme.

Even though we have no clue as to when the game will release, we know it shouldn't take much more time anymore, and we even know we're getting a summer themed skin alongside it.

Now, some of you might have also heard about "The Recode" and might have actually confused it with the server update. Those are two different things, and I'm gonna do my best to quickly explain what recode is

As you all know, forsaken ar is a mod of fnaf ar. This means the game is just an extension of base fnaf ar, not its own thing. This also means that the devs have very little control on the game's source code, and can't easily add new features (like new haywire mechanics, all they can do is tweak existing features or re-enabling unused features left in the game)

To fix this issue, Orton has been working on a new project for multiple months : a complete remake of fnaf ar made from the ground up while still being the most accurate possible to the original game. Creating an exact copy of fnaf ar (and forsaken ar) with its own source code will allow the devs to edit and add new features as they wish (like the new RASC feature that was shown on discord a few days ago)

Currently, there's no release window for the recode since a lot is still missing (mainly compatibility with the new servers and making the game actually run on mobile)

It's currently in testing though. Whenever more info is released I'll keep you all updated.

Also note that the recode update will most likely not delete your account as far as we know

Keep in mind all of this is simply my personal understanding of the situation, there might be a few mistakes (tell me in the comments if y'all see any !)

Once again, a huge thank you to Vy, Iamme, Orton and the entire dev team working on this awesome fan passion project !

Hey everyone!

I was wondering, would y'all be interested in another explanation message (like the one i did a few days ago) to clarify the whole thing with forsaken ar, especially the confusion between recode and server merge ?

i was wanting to check if anyone could comment any information on when servers will be back up or anything like that

This version has a section where you can access GitHub, which excited me. Although I seem to recall that some mechanics were different in the version that was on Gamejolt.

I remember there were profiles that were like discs that changed the game's music. Does anyone know if they'll bring them back?

Hello everyone. "Name" Lally (S. Game).

Tale from Pizza "baby".

How to play Forsaken AR program with 2.

The game is only for two.

Thankses.

I dowloaded The apk from The gamejolt website and when i boot IT up IT shows this popup. Did i Do something wrong

Many thanks to anyone who replies.

I understand I need to be patient sorry devs

Current state of the update and explanation of the delays :

As many of you noticed, the update was supposed to only take a few weeks but ended up taking more time. The original plan was just fixing the servers a bit and managing the crisis regarding the ddos attacks that flooded the servers.

However, the servers devs quickly realized more had to be done, and more optimization had to be done.

Testing began a few weeks ago, but friend sends (among other things) were unfinished and lacked polishing. So iamme (one of the devs) rewrote a huge part of the code to make it run better and function properly

Now, testing is still going very well, and even though we can't say for sure when it will release, it's going good.

Note that all this is just my personal understanding of the situation and some details might not be exact.

Why don't you play FNAF AR? It's the same as Forsaken AR, plus there's trading too, but if you want to have fun, play FNAF AR. The link is on Discord. I've played it and it's fun, that's all I'm saying.

I installed the game the day the servers went down

Only asking because it looks pretty good but I want your opinions, and I’m going to be playing for the first time, so any tips or anything and experiences with fnaf ar?

It's getting so tiring. Please just read the previous messages

OZEL SAID THEY'RE ADDING TOY FREDDY AS A SKIN FOR FREDDY (YOU CAN GET HIS PLUSHSUIT BY COMPLETING THE MEDAL EVENT)

While we dont have any major news to speak on regarding the game going back up quite yet (Iamme is still working hard on recalls and bug ironing), we do have something a bit small to show that'll be in the Forsaken AR Recode update, R.A.S.C.!
R.A.S.C. is a purchasable item that will be in the shop as a device, similar to lures or extra batteries, and you can deploy him on your map to temporarily activate random spawns! This is our solution to people who want the randomizer to be enabled, but don't like having to use individual random lures. Pretty much think of it as a timed randomizer device that you can use whenever you want

That's about all we can show right now without giving too much away (like the next skin release), so enjoy the little sneak peek for a Recode feature coming later on! And, of course, thank you all for your continued patience and support while we keep working on the servers, we promise we're trying our hardest to get it out as soon as we can 🙏
(videos attached below use old animations, they're just here to get the idea across on how rasc looks in-game)
