It's weird cause for me the game is running basically perfectly. In 6 hours of playing I can count the number of disconnects on one hand, whereas in the pre-beta up to the maintenance window I can get disconnected every 5 minutes in a single match. The only CTD I had was the reproducible "click on special move in weapon stats screen" bug.

Feels like they upped the post-mission item drop rate, I ran 4 missions today and got items for 3/4 of them.

I only played a handful of missions today, but I noticed the same thing. I hope it's something they adjusted and not just a fluke. Only buying weapons from a store feels very "Diablo 3 at launch, why okay when you can just buy whatever you want from the auction house."

I blew my special dollars from the Imperial Edition to get my Veteran some slightly dirtier pants and my Ogryn a shirt. Both managed to be delivered to me before my Beta Company helmet.

It's definitely intentional, mission rewards got bumped up across the board

Did they change the bomber's behaviour? They seem way more evasive now, I almost had a run fail during a data interrogator thing because we had 2 or 3 up and they kept chain dropping bombs on the objective and then ducking into doorways where they couldn't be shot

I haven't crashed yet since release except for clicking for info in the details panel of weapons, lol. i know people are having performance issues and it's janky as poo poo and you barely can play a veteran right now but i'm still having a blast just sawing through everything with the eviscerator

anyone running the force sword block ranged attacks & block with peril feat? it seems to increase your durability quite a bit on higher difficulties.

also coming around to the shock staff being the best one, being able to stun elites with a short charge is a life saver

Because maybe they should have focused on getting the game to not constantly CTD before polishing the cash shop.

The reasoning for why the cash shop appears to work just fine doesn't matter it's a bad look when the game doesn't work for a lot of people.

I have good news for you:

The cash shop consistently causes a CTD if you browse through different outfits or leave it open too long.

This is the boat I'm in too. I crashed pretty consistently when loading into maps during the open beta, occasionally crashed at the end of missions, and had a decent amount of stuttering, yet today I've only crashed once and everything has been running buttery smooth. I didn't want to say anything for fear of jinxing it. (Steam version)

The only consistent thing about Fatshark is their inconsistency.

To any Psyker mains out there I'd recommend watching the shop and snatching up a force weapon with deflector trait and any block efficiency curio's you happen to come across, I've got 32% from Curio's and 21% from the force weapon and it let's me do stuff like this on Heresy difficulty.

I only crashed once during the beta period and get decent fps on the launch build. It's really weird how inconsistent the performance and crashing is.

Also the eviscerator is fun but I always find myself wanting more cleave. I guess I need to find one with a higher cleave stat? It only goes through 4 small dudes which doesn't make much of a dent in diff3+ hordes. Plus it takes a while to rev up and then heavy attack.

Just got my first powersword and im not sure im sold, hard to get it to charge in the thick of stuff. People using the bolter/powersword combo must be going crazy between the time needed to load/rack the bolter and time spent charging the sword! Braced autogun and the combat axe is working out nicely for me at the moment.

So it's not really worth engaging with crafting till they put the rest in right? Do you just cross your fingers for a good perk/trait etc when you upgrade, for now?

So apparently RTX is still technically enabled on cards that it shouldn't be or if you manually tried to turn it off. This was a problem back in the first closed beta. Here's a Reddit post on how to turn it off:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/z9a2fj/psa_rtx_is_always_on_despite_what_options_you/

Later in the thread:

"So this is false or at least a placebo effect.

Essentially, those settings are ignored if the following settings are set to off.
code:
ray_tracing_quality = "off"
rt_reflections_quality = "off"
rtxgi_quality = "off"

dxr = false
As those in the OP's post are settings for the ray tracing render pipeline. If the pipeline isn't running to begin with, whatever those settings are, don't matter. The settings I have posted here turn on or off the ray tracing render pipeline. And what major feature in the pipeline is used.

Edit: Just want to add, the first time you boot up the release version of Darktide, if your GPU is capable, it will have ray tracing enabled. You can turn it off in game and the settings do stick."

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Powersword does enough damage uncharged and also you just block push or dodge back and charge.

Fighting for me goes

1. charge while sprinting to cancel animation
2. use charges to slice up like 15 enemies
3. dodge back
4. charge
5. wade in again

you really need the ignore enemy mass for 2s on weak spot kill perk on the power sword to elevate it to god tier and cleave through infinite poxwalkers. you can also charge it while sprinting

and with the bolter, at least one of the reload feats.

edit. i am crashing much much more after release. 3 times in a row i couldnt even get into the social hub. had to reduce worker threads in the startup menu and that seems to have worked, but now the game isnt performing as well as it was.

Fun thing on the new mission where you set up Skylink or whatever.

At the end you hold out waiting for a bridge to extend to the ship, here.


If you go to the side behind me and to the right in that screenshot (where you can see a profile view of the ship's right side) and jump up on the computer consoles in this spot:

(Turning 90 degrees to the left of this screenshot, you'd see the medicae station)

The enemies can't path to you. They mostly ignore you and go for your teammates. Ragers and things like that will stand directly below you and then just freeze.


Theory: This is happening because my hitbox is on the fence behind the computer console and the ai pathfinder cant find its way through the computer console, so it sees me lower on the z axis. (seems consistent with behavior I've seen out of daemonhosts and breaking line of sight)

How can this be? I assume you can only play with people on the same version of the client as yourself. If so, does this mean Gamepass players only play with other Gamepass players?

Even if Steam and Gamepass were on the same version players can't play with each other between stores.

Im in the lucky minority that can run this on ultra without FPS dipping sub 60 even with the beta chugging around 20 FPS at lowest settings, and with no crashes no less! Game is absolutely gorgeous and the core gameplay is still good blasting fun.

On Steam here and I didn't have a single crash over like 10 games today and performance is consistently 60+ FPS at 4k with a 3090. So far a great improvement from the middle of the pre-purchase beta.

Still though, due to the veteran toughness bug I haven't been playing on anything higher than T2, and I wonder if the post-mission item rewards is tied to tier because over those 10 games I didn't get a single item reward. Stability and performance are fine for me but its getting a bit boring being stuck on T2, getting no rewards, and being left with the slow-reloading item shop as the only means of real progression.

I'm very much of the view that the Psycher and Zealot's stun abilities are going to be a core bit of getting through high difficulty gameplay. You need a team that can chain stuns long enough for to tear through the specials.

You don't need to wait the full charge up animation. Just activate it and swing immediately.

You can tap the powersword chargeup and immediately start charging a heavy attack to delete one half of the poxwalker horde

Re: Crafting I think the best call is to not engage with crafting at all and just stockpile mats until you're 30, then pick up the highest level grey of the weapon you like and upgrade the poo poo out of it.

You've done well, kiddo.
Killed my first demon host last night. Got into a corner and deployed my shield and just pinged it desperately until my teammates saw I was tanking it and they came over and killed it. Turns out demon hosts will stay on one person until they are killed no matter what, even if they are sitting behind an impenetrable object.
