The string, including the typo, which is the client's and not ours
At 03:22:41 PDT on 11 September 2026 a player opened a thread on Steam's own WARDOGS board whose title is the message itself: “An unexpected error has occured. 1413677057”. That matters more than it looks. Every other string in this section reaches us inside someone's post, retyped, where a spelling could be theirs; this one is the thread's title, and two further players reply that morning with the same error rather than correcting it. “Occured” is spelt with one r on the screen. It is reproduced that way here because that is what a reader pastes into a search box, and a page that quietly fixes the game's spelling is a page that does not match the string the reader is holding.
- String: “An unexpected error has occured.” — one r, as displayed
- First dated public report: 11 September 2026, 03:22:41 PDT
- Confirmed the same morning by two further players
- Cause: not published by anyone
Three players say what worked, and none of them reinstalled
This is the one page in this section where the record contains anything a reader can act on, and it is worth being exact about what it is: three people describing what they did, not a fix anyone has published. On 11 September at 10:01 PDT one player reports setting Steam to Online, running the game through Steam's error check, and finding a hotfix waiting that the client then installed — after which it worked. On 15 September at 15:19 PDT another reports leaving the error screen alone for five to ten minutes and pressing retry. Five minutes later a third reports toggling Steam offline and back online before pressing Play. Three accounts, three different actions, one thing in common: every one of them is something you do to Steam or to the clock, and not one of them is a reinstall or a file deletion.
Why “check before you change anything” keeps being the advice →
The first of those reports has a date worth looking at
The player who found a hotfix waiting posted on the morning of 11 September. WARDOGS Launch Stability Hotfix #1 had gone out at 20:20 UTC on 10 September, the evening before, and BULKHEAD's own note for it asks players to restart for the client update. A client that had not taken that update yet is consistent with the account, and this site will go exactly that far and no further: the timings line up, one player says the update was what unblocked them, and nobody has published that this error is caused by a stale client. If your client has not restarted since 10 September, letting it update is free and is the only step here with a dated official instruction behind it.
Launch Stability Hotfix #1, and what BULKHEAD asked players to do →
What nobody has published
No BULKHEAD or Team17 text checked for this section prints a numeric WARDOGS error code, and that includes this one. The fullest public third-party table, LagoFast's, covers 1147405308, 1147405309 and 1628505085 and does not carry 1413677057 either. So there is no official cause, no official fix, and no vendor claim to correct. What the string is doing on this site at all is the reader's half of it: the message says “unexpected error” and gives them a number, and the number is the only part specific enough to search. This page exists to confirm they read it correctly, say when it was first seen, and stop.
Common questions
What is WARDOGS error 1413677057?
It is the number shown with the message “An unexpected error has occured.” The first dated public report is a Steam thread from 11 September 2026, titled with the string itself. No official BULKHEAD or Team17 text mentions the code, so what it means beyond that is not established.
How do you fix WARDOGS error 1413677057?
Nobody has published a fix and this page will not invent one. Three players in the original thread describe what worked for them — letting Steam pull a pending client update, waiting five to ten minutes on the error screen and pressing retry, and toggling Steam offline and back online. All three are Steam-side actions; none of them is a reinstall.
Why is “occured” spelt wrong?
Because that is how the game spells it. The misspelling is reproduced here so the page matches the string you are holding, not because it is a typo on this site.
Should I reinstall WARDOGS if I get 1413677057?
Nothing in the public record suggests a reinstall is what fixed it for anyone. The three reported workarounds are all Steam-side, and one of them is simply letting the client take an update BULKHEAD had already shipped.
Sources & verification
Each source below carries its own read date and its own boundary note. A Steam thread establishes that a string exists and when it was first reported; it does not establish a cause.

| Steam · “An unexpected error has occured. 1413677057”, WARDOGS discussions, 11 September 2026Opened 03:22:41 PDT on 11 September. Unusually for this section, the thread's own title is the string, so it dates the wording rather than relying on a transcription inside a post — including the client's own misspelling of “occurred”. The body asks for a solution and does not offer one. Two players confirm the same error the same morning; three later posts (11 September 10:01 PDT, 15 September 15:19 and 15:24 PDT) describe workarounds that worked for them. Those are player reports of what they did, not a published fix, and the thread establishes no cause. | Unverified | 2026-09-18 |

It is published by a ping-booster vendor whose recommended first step for the login codes is its own paid product; it is dated to the closed-beta window rather than the shipping build; and it attributes three rows — 0xc0000142, 0xc000007b and the shader crash — to Easy Anti-Cheat, prescribing “Repair EAC”. Steam’s listing names Elytra. It is the only public source for 1628505085. | Unverified | 2026-09-13 |
