What should I check before playing after a Gaijin anti-cheat or game patch?

Guide Q&A

Check the current build and status notice first. After a game or Gaijin anti-cheat update, wait for a compatible build, update the loader, then verify the setup on an Arcade test battle before returning to busy Arcade, Realistic or Simulator queues.

If anything behaves unexpectedly, stop and review the status notes rather than assuming the old setup still applies. The checklist covers the patch-day routine in more detail.

Testing after the update before a real session is the part I used to skip. Now I check the build note and run a quick Arcade test battle.

Guide answer

Agree. If the status has not caught up, wait. A checklist is better than guessing.
