What to check when you can’t connect
DREADMOOR is single-player and Steam-only, so “servers” here means Steam itself (downloads, Cloud saves, the store). Before launch on Nov 9 the count is close to zero — it unlocks at about 13:00 UTC (release time). Work through this list before waiting for a fix:
- Check the live count above. Normal numbers mean the servers are fine.
- Check Steam itself. Steam-wide problems (store, friends, login) take every game down with them; steamstat.us tracks them.
- Restart the client. A pending Steam update can block online play until you restart.
- Read the latest announcements (listed above from the Steam news feed). Maintenance windows and hotfixes are posted there first.
How this page works
The player count comes from the official Steam API through our own cached endpoint, refreshed every 5 minutes. We don’t guess at outages or copy numbers from other sites; if the API doesn’t answer, the card says so.
