Why is there a login queue in The Division 2

The Division 2‘s server maintenance on April 23 is now over, but if you’re hit with a login queue, you’re not alone. Players trying to gain access to the servers immediately after the maintenance have been put into the queue, where they need to wait for a chance.

This guide will briefly explain why you might be seeing their queue and how you can avoid it.

The Division 2 login queue explained

The login queue in The Division 2 is in place to ensure that the server load remains smooth. When the game has been down for a few hours, chances are that many players might try to log in at the same time. The game is available on both PC and consoles, which also raises the number of players who try to start their session.

The login queue ensures that players enter the servers systematically, which also reduces the chances of an outage. This queue applies to players on both PC and consoles. However, the queue deactivates automatically when the logins have subsided. I have never experienced the queue when there hasn’t been any maintenance involved.

If you want to play immediately post-maintenance, there’s no way to avoid the queue. You should also refrain from quitting the game, as it will put you on a fresh virtual line of players. The only option is to wait for your turn patiently until you can start the game and access your save.

If waiting in the queue irritates you for some reason, the ideal solution is to simply wait. Once an hour or two has passed, the queue should disappear on its own. You should be able to log in directly without any extra seconds or minutes of waiting.

Tanned Leather is one of the more important resources in Windrose, and it has different purposes. Obtaining this leather isn’t too difficult, but you’ll need to clear a fair bit of in-game content and build an additional item.

Let’s find out how you can get a steady supply of Tanned Leather in the game.

How to get Tanned Leather in Windrose

Tanned Leather can be crafted in Windrose. For starters, you’ll need to collect raw hides. Raw hide can be obtained quite easily, but you’ll need to hunt. If you’re in the early game stage, either wolves or deer work. They’re not so dangerous, and you can kill them quite easily. You’ll also need your skinning knife in hand to get the hide.

Now that you have your hide, you’ll need to get a Tanning Rack. This item has to be unlocked via its recipe, and it allows you to dry raw hide. This process is necessary when you want to convert raw hide into Tanned Leather.

You can make Clay Bottles from the Alchemy Table. Once it’s done, you can now make Tannin with Hardwood Bark and a Clay Bottle. You’ll need this item for the production of Tanned Leather.

Once you have built and placed your Tanning Rack, add the raw hide to one of its slots. Add either a tanning agent or a source of fuel that will be consumed during the process. If you have Tannin, it will work just fine.

You’ll need to wait for some time for the process to complete. Once done, you’ll have your Tanned Leather.

How to use Tanned Leather in Windrose

Tanned Leather has plenty of use when it comes to crafting armor. Almost every mid and end-game item will need Tanned Leather. The demand for it goes up once you unlock Foothills, which is the second biome in the game.

However, you can start collecting the required materials like Clay and Rough Hides early to make things easier when you’ll actually need Tanned Leather in your inventory.
