Could you try enabling the ‘Small Network Packets’ option within the ‘Network’ panel, and see if there’s any improvement?

Perhaps you could send us your vermintide2_launcher.log?

1. Press Windows key + R
2. Enter %appdata% within the search input and select ‘OK’
3. Navigate to ‘Fatshark’ → ‘Vermintide 2’
4. Upload the ‘ vermintide2_launcher ’ log here

It wouldn’t be an issue if your 100% of your CPU was being utilised if your performance was stable, which I understand it is not!

I recall a while back, somebody noticed Windows Defender was interfering with Easy Anti-Cheat and somehow causing the CPU to spike.

I’m not sure if that would explain your issue here, but perhaps worth considering, along with any other Anti-Virus you’re using.

Also, perhaps you have something installed on both PCs that could be interfering with your CPU usage? In which case, I love a ‘Selective Startup’:

1. Press the Windows key
2. Type ‘msconfig’ and select ‘System Configuration’
3. On the ‘General’ tab, select ‘Selective Startup’
4. Deselect ‘Load startup Items’
5. Reboot your PC
6. Launch Vermintide 2 as normal, and see if the issue persists

Failing that, I can see if anybody from Engine is available tomorrow to chat about this with, but with the Swedes celebrating Chri...

Please send me the URL to your Steam profile and I can have a look at this.

Thank you for letting us know, and apologies for the inconvenience. I’ve added this to our database.

We did not install Microsoft Edge - the browser - to your PC. It is a runtime.

This is unfortunate. Please have a look here, if you haven’t already. It’s important to check for overheating, etc.: https://support.fatshark.se/hc/en-us/articles/360038965013--PC-How-to-Resolve-PC-Crashes-Loss-of-Responsiveness-or-Blue-Screens-BSOD-

Thank you for your detailed report. I understand you’ve disabled the Steam Overlay, and do not play with mods, which is something we’ve been asking players to try.

There is no need to uninstall Microsoft Edge, as what was installed is merely a runtime (and not the Edge browser itself). If you think the runtime is causing issues, you could try our ‘Launcher Workaround’ by:

1. Right-click Vermintide 2 in your Steam library
2. Select ‘Properties’
3. Select the ‘Betas’ tab
4. In the dropdown, select ‘Temporary Launcher Workaround’
5. Restart Steam
6. Launch Vermintide 2
7. Select the ‘Bypass Launcher’ option
8. Click ‘Play’

I understand some of you have already exhausted these options and more. But can anybody else please see if there is any improvement in your issue after:

Disable the Steam Overlay

1. Open the Steam client
2. Select ‘Steam’ in the upper left-hand corner
3. Select ‘Settings’
4. Select ‘In-Game’
5. Deselect the ‘Enable the Steam overlay while in-game’ checkbox
6. Save your changes
7. Launch Vermintide 2 as normal, and see if the issue persists

Disable any mods

1. Open the Vermintide 2 launcher
2. Select ‘Mods’
3. Deselect all mods
4. Save your changes
5. Launch Vermintide 2 as normal, and see if the issue persists

We’re aware some players have experienced a substantial drop in performance with the release of the Warrior Priest career. We understand some of these cases are due to the Steam Overlay, and/or mods. Please:

Disable the Steam Overlay

1. Open the Steam client
2. Select ‘Steam’ in the upper left-hand corner
3. Select ‘Settings’
4. Select ‘In-Game’
5. Deselect the ‘Enable the Steam overlay while in-game’ checkbox
6. Save your changes
7. Launch Vermintide 2 as normal, and see if the issue persists

Disable any mods

1. Open the Vermintide 2 launcher
2. Select ‘Mods’
3. Deselect all mods
4. Save your changes
5. Launch Vermintide 2 as normal, and see if the issue persists

I am personally keeping note of all performance-related complaints we receive. So if the above solutions have been unsuccessful, please post here and include your PC’s specifi...

Hmmm, okay. Try this, then I will contact Easy Anti-Cheat if unsuccessful:

1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator
2. Enter the command:
   services.msc
3. Locate Easy Anti-Cheat within the list and double-click it
4. Change ‘Startup Type’ to ‘Manual’
5. Save the changes

It may already be set to ‘Manual’, in which case let me know.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you also

This is to be addressed in our next patch. If it helps, I can remove all Deeds from a player’s inventory (only all of them, as opposed to a selected amount, due to limitations in our backend )

Edit: If this is something you would like, please add me on Steam and send me a PM with your request: Steam Community :: [Fatshark] Julia

Sorry to hear this. Some questions:

1. Are you playing with mods, and if so does the issue persist with them disabled?
2. Do you happen to have the SteelSeries Engine installed?
3. Are you playing on a Ryzen CPU?

This is a known and high-priority issue, apologies!

Sorry for the delayed response! How about Windows? Is it up-to-date?

Thank you Harridas, we’re on the case.

It doesn’t look like Easy Anti-Cheat is installed. Please install Easy Anti-Cheat using the EasyAntiCheat_Setup installer located here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer Vermintide 2\installers\EasyAntiCheat

I believe I have recently responded to your post in the Steam discussions.
