Just had an infinite load after a mission and had to alt f4. Also had this happen in closed beta.

I wish for the Psyker "The Savant" personality didn't have to compete with "The Loner", the crazy german accent is too good to pass up.

Not seeing too many Ogryn in my games. Kind of surprising, to be honest.

I'm not sure what people are taking, I'd be interested to hear what the most popular are. I'm planning on starting off as a Veteran because the idea of an Imperial Guardsman FPS has been my dream since Fire Warrior but if that's utterly saturated I might have to go Ogryn.

i won't lie, i didn't see the Feats menu and forgot about the damage passive :eng99:

yeah some of the feats do cool stuff with the head pop like making you apply an aoe dot when you head pop an elite and also there's a bunch which make it easier to do more like i think there's one that makes it so the higher your peril the less you gain from it so you can do like way more! also I haven't seen a staff for my psyker yet either, I think i'm level 7 rn but I've only seen force swords in the shop so far and also I don't know if there's only one type of force sword? In the psyker trailer it looked like there was a two handed version

Damp and depressing.

Gotta admit I was sweating bullets for a bit when they released the official system requirements, but it's running better than the closed beta (60-100 fps on 2560x1440 with a Radeon 5700XT) as long as I turn the lighting setting down to low.

First mission I had 3 psykers on my team which instantly went southward the moment I (as a Zealot) got caught in a trapper net, I don't think that team composition is a good idea :v:

I’ve played maybe 6-7 games now and Veteran definitely seems the most prominent. Then the psycher seems maybe least used with the other two at a tie for second? Purely anecdotal of course

a lot of my groups have had veterans, but only a few of them ever used their special to go after elites and snipers. if you regularly press F you'll be one of the best

Tried to run 1 game before work, horrible pubs but we nearly got the end of the level when all of the sudden the mission was aborted?? Does that mean the host crashed?

They released the previous beta's stats in an infographic a week or so ago. Veteran was the most popular class.

And the ogryn's melee weapon got the most kills, despite that.

Without knowing what your system is like I'm gonna assume you're being cpu bottlenecked
Start by deleting appdata\roaming\fatshark\darktide ; in case any weird beta settings are carrying over.Remember to disable ray tracing and set worker threads in the launcher before first launch as well.

Turning down the CPU heavy settings mentioned in the performance guide, and setting worker threads to 4 on my 4-core i7700k + 3070 either did the trick or they optimized beta because it runs "ok" now on mixed medium/high (gpu-only settings). Big hordes will still drop framerate but its not near as chunky as it was in beta for me. Did about a dozen missions now with only one CTD but my buddy is getting crashes pretty often.



Also Ogryn seems to be by far the least popular choice rn, everybody wants to roleplay a krieg guardsman or space wizard

5 missions completed, 1 failed, still no staff for my psyker but I am absolutely thoroughly enjoying myself! I might even "have a sore throat and a light fever" tomorrow and my students can do revision questions without me babysitting them...

performance mostly fine but even with a 3080 and a new-ish ryzen I had to turn some of the fancier stuff down, turning off lens flare on all lights made a pretty big cpu difference (just like the blog post said) and I can't say it made much difference visually

Can you link that blog post if it has other performance tips?

I made a series of bad investments. Tarantula farm. The bottom fell out of the market.

Thanks for the link and tips, I've got the framerate up to "technically playable" which is good enough for me.

Is there any way to see what weapon types you have accessible to buy anywhere or what level you need to get them? Not liking the auto pistol I have but not sure if I want to buy a probably crap auto gun or las pistol either really.

Las pistols are shockingly good.

The first game I played this morning was me as an Ogryn and 3 Veterans. They basically just followed around the giant stack of meat and were slinging rounds around me. It was fun.

They made a really nice intro area we’ll probably never see anything of again! Granted it’s mostly just the industrial tileset arranged as a ship but it’s got some good views.

I mean, based on the beta, that's no bad thing. One can always over-nerf, but open beta psyker was quickly being figured out as absurdly broken - and not in a particularly interesting way.

Zealot is apparently very bugged where the ult restores only half toughness and the damage stacks based on missing hp are much less than they should.

Might be an intentional nerf. The level 5 talent that restored 7.5% toughness per second when in melee is explicitly down to 5.0% now

Difficulties get way, way easier as you amass player and gear level. Worked that way in the open beta, worked that way in Vermintinde 2, wouldn't sweat having difficulty starting out.

I could already spot a couple things in the tutorial that were already incorrect and outdated due to balance changes, expect a lot of that.

Looking at what they changed on Psyker on the last beta vs the current beta it feels like they got the Sienna treatment immediately instead of being able to feel pretty strong before the next patch.

I'm not super clear on the psycher. His power builds until it pops heads on the primary attack, I get that. What does holding down the alternate attack do? It seems like it would cause you to skip the buildup mode of the primary but it doesn't seem to work that way.
