Hotfix 6.5.4 - 27th of March
Fixes
  • Fixed crash when writing chat messages right as the host closes the lobby.
  • Fixed a rare crash when Tag/Social Wheel and World Marker Only is bound to the same button (that isn't middle mouse button) and the user attempts to tag the sky. I mean, what are the odds?

Hey all, it's been brought to my attention that there is an ongoing outage with EOS affecting Russia. This will be the cause of the current 'EOS auth status=failed, result=EOS_NoConnection' error.

Is it possible you're opening old chests? Chests give items with power based on the level of your highest character at the time when you obtained the chest, up to level 30 (past level 30 it's based on the extra levels from all characters).

Additionally, Recruit chests are capped at 100 power and Veteran chests are capped at 200 power.

Hi Unknown Traveller,

We recently experienced a specific data loss issue during Versus release, which affected many players who logged in and interacted with daily/weekly missions within a short period of time, before we implemented a fix.

This issue caused significant sections of account data to be erased, messing up general progression including level completions, Okri's challenges, Weaves completions and more - all at once. It was a severe and highly noticeable problem.

We identified all player accounts that were impacted (approximately 9000), each requiring extensive reconstruction and manual correction of account data. This was a time-consuming and complex process that took many months. As a gesture of apology and gratitude, we have awarded the Abasement portrait frame to these players, to thank them for their understanding and patience.

Though the announcement post says 'by Monday', I've been told that all affected accounts have already r... Read more

  • Fixed crash when closing down the game during a loading screen with voip enabled
Hotfix 6.5.1 - 11th of March Features & Tweaks
  • Bot Improvements: (note, these changes were missed from patch 6.4.0 patch notes)
    • Bots are now better at choosing whether to light or heavy attack against armored targets.
    • More weapons now allow bots to push shielded targets.
    • Bots are now better at predicting whether their target is pushable or if it's a waste of stamina. Bots' block window against enemies with long timed attacks is reduced slightly.
    • Bots now take all nearby attacking enemies into consideration when blocking, rather than just the enemy they...

Heroes! We’ve just pushed a patch that swaps our old version of Easy Anti-Cheat for the newest version. The previous version is scheduled to shut down on March 4, which would’ve meant no protection to the game from cheats or tampering unless we did this upgrade.

A couple of things to note about this change:
  • For normal gameplay, there should be no notable difference. The game will continue to run normally in both Official and Modded realms, and no extra actions need to be taken from you as players to continue playing.
  • Operating Systems that had incompatibility issues with our EAC may find those issues gone with this update. We still can only officially support Windows 10 & 11, but nonetheless there might be one barrier less in that aspect.
  • The system necessary to support Sanctioned Mods is changing. This means that until sanctioned mods are updated by their authors, they might ...

Heroes and Pactsworn! As mentioned in our previous announcement, another Vermintide 2 level has been adapted and added to the pool of playable Versus maps: A Grudge Served Cold!

We thought you might be curious about why or how a map is turned into a Versus level, so we interviewed one of our level designers, Pål, who redesigned the level...

Why was A Grudge Served Cold picked to be the next Versus map? What features or aspects of it made it seem like a good fit for Versus?
“The level was built in a way that converting it to Versus would be quite a fast process, compared to other levels. The layout is open to water on the left-hand side and mountain ranges to the right and it doesn’t have too many empty backfaces or “half-built” structures like many other levels have.”

Areas that Heroes never get to look at in normal gamepla... Read more

dismemberment should be active on PS5/Xbox Series S|X already as well as 60FPS

Heroes! We hope you enjoyed the Holidays and are itching for more Vermintide! In early December last year, we released a brand new map ‘The Forsaken Temple’, and it’s already time for another.

‘Devious Delvings’ is the second installment of the Verminous Dreams campaign and picks up where the last mission left off. Our Heroes have successfully infiltrated the ruined Elven temple that Skaven has taken over; it’s now time to investigate what they’re up to.

This new map will arrive on January 23rd, FREE for all owners of Vermintide 2!

Vermintide 2 is still a PS4/XB1 game with all the requirements and limitations that comes with that. We did update it to run at 60FPs on PS5/Xbox Series S|X though.

Hey all, it seems the automation to roll out the last spotlight rewards failed, so they haven't gone out yet for anyone - so not to worry! Due to the holidays we'll now manually roll out the rewards once our backend developers have returned. Sorry for the extra wait!

Actually 3 extra days on PC since we had to delay one reward a day

Sorry about that. Unfortunately the bug in our engine/building process that causes abnormal patch sizes creeped up on us again. We'll continue investigating to hopefully squash it before the next update.
