It’s a priority and we’re pushing another hotfix soon, but I’m still communicating with devs internally to find out what that fix contains.

Rejects,

It’s been just over 24 hours since we’ve opened the gates to Tertium - and we’ve already had one Hel of a time together. Since launching the pre-order beta, you have eliminated 314,264,113 heretics, while 634,640 rejects have fallen in service to the Emperor! Many of you might need to brush up on those numbers if you want to continue to earn your keep aboard the Mourningstar. For now, you’ve earned your rations for the day.

Now, real talk: We have carefully monitored the launch and learned more about stability and performance. While we have worked hard to ensure our pre-sets cater to as many machines as possible, we know we’ve got our work cut out for ourselves as we scale up the experience even more.

Here’s what else we’ve seen, what we ha...

I have an update on this, from the combat team:

Players can dodge melee attacks with their ranged weapons out, ranged weapons just have worse dodge in general. In the CBT we ran with a flag that enabled enemies to continue tracking if you wielded your ranged weapon. This flag has been removed as we’ve tuned through all dodges and dodge timings in general and in detail. We still discourage players from trying to dodge-dance melee enemies with ranged weapons, even if it’s possible on the pistols n stuff that are a bit more nimble.

Hello again Rejects!

We are finally closing in on the start of the pre-order beta period and the lead-up to the final launch of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.

Many of you have been with us on this journey – whether participating in the technical test, closed beta, or just by consistently engaging and providing feedback in the community. For that, we are thankful. Darktide will be a better game because of your help.

...

Generalised bugs, and other issues that you wish to report but do not require our support on, are to be posted here.

Technical issues, including (but not limited to) crashes, errors, problems launching Darktide and other issues that require our support are to be posted in Technical Support instead.

Feedback on your performance in Darktide is to be posted ...

The pre-order beta is accessible when you claim the game with any regular steam key for Darktide.

The pre-order beta is not feature complete and is a beta (though has more features than the closed beta), so the full game will be available Nov. 30.

Ah, so this thread was started before we announced this, but when we announced the QoL update, we also announced that we were working on mainlining mods into the game, so that’s why there’s been a sort of “freeze” in sanctioning.

There came a situation where updates would break mods, and the overhead to prep those mods and ensure they could remain sanctioned each patch was quite high. In addition, mods are reliant on their creators to update them, and if a creator decides not to update, it leaves those players using the mod in a bit of a sticky spot, so we changed track and decided to integrate a lot of sanctioned mod features into the base game. Sanctioned mods that have been “grandfathered” in still need to meet certain standards when modders update them so they don’t break the game, but we do keep tabs on those and sanction and unsanction them accordingly.

There are instances where we are still sanctioning mods, but they are not currently the norm.

It’s not a bad idea. I can ask around.

Sure, it’s read-only now. Please note as we get closer to launch and pre-order beta, it will be hidden to keep the forum clean, but should be available for you all to browse, now.

Let’s not make wild accusations.

The forum is closed and hidden as I need to stick a bookmark in feedback so I can parse it and hand it to the team without it being added to or changed.

It’s not deleted, we at the studio can still see it and refer on it.

Please avoid political topics on this forum; this is not the venue for that, and suggest you take it to a different platform. I am curious about which mod spoke out to you? Please DM me with the link on this.

Thank you!

Hey there, thanks for the well wishes! There will be a stream tomorrow at 6am ET/12pm CET!

The beta ended this morning and you can no longer access the game.

No worries, I’ll just move it into the beta test forum for you.

The qualitative feedback is being collected here, so don’t worry, we’re hearing you! I’ll be leaving these forums open for the remainder of the week, so feel free to get any additional thoughts in.

I’ll take a look at the survey and see what can be improved for next time; appreciate you calling this to our attention!

You shouldn’t be. What forum are you trying to post on?

I’m responsible for feedback sorting. It’s easier to track the forums through categories, and Steam forum users are only a specific segment of users (some nice, some not so nice–here is also a specific segment, but more on why we chose that segment in bit).

Ultimately, we want feedback to be in space that is good for developers and players to use and parse through. We look at Steam regularly, but for data parsing for this beta, we are using the forums so players can leave feedback without fear of other players dogpiling on them without reason.

We will be looking at Steam forums more heavily during launch.

We won’t be adding crypto or blockchain mechanics in Darktide.

Hey all, we hear you! This has been fixed internally!
