Warhammer: Vermintide 2

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Dev Tracker




08 Jul

Greetings Heroes and Pactsworn,
My name is Joakim, Design Director on Vermintide 2, here with a game update recap just in time for the summer.

As you all know, we started this year with a Closed and an Open Alpha Test for Versus, we celebrated the 6th Anniversary with a Quiet Drink and then wrapped up the Karak Azgaraz storyline with A Parting of the Waves - where Kruber’s team building excursion led to an encounter with a new type of Chaos Warrior.

A bit over a month ago, for Warhammer Skulls 2024, we released a big Chaos Wastes and Things™ update where we introduced Weekly Expeditions with new boons and rewards. Per popular demand, we added a loadout system to the game as well as the (even more requested) option to equip weapon illusions outside of Weaves. Both game modes saw some quality of life- and bug fixes, which increased their popularity and hopefully set you up f... Read more

Yeah I should have specified, it’s V2. Do I have to set up the button layout if I plug a controller in or is it just plug and play. Thank you

It's just plug and play and the game will switch to whatever input method you choose to use instantly on both PC and Xbox by just using said input device. There are also 5 alternate button layouts aswell as a bunch of settings in the options menu

I fails at creating the DirectX device (basically the rendering backend). From what I can tell it seems to use the Windows basic driver for your graphics card that doesn't support directX 12. Maybe try to update your drivers or try starting the game in DirectX 11 mode

This should be fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience

Heroes and Pactsworn!
Surprise! We've actually decided to extend the Versus Alpha for another week! Today's hotfix, 5.5.6, includes a few fixes to both Adventure mode and Versus, and has some balance adjustments made to the playable Pactsworn for Versus.

The RAT will now end on June 17th! Starting from yesterday and until the end of the test, the Versus servers will automatically swap between the three active Versus maps: Against the Grain, Righteous Stand and Screaming Bell. You get to play all of them this week and have more fun with our playable Bile Troll!

In case you haven't already, we have a {LINK REMOVED}Versus Feedback Survey that we'd really appreciate if you all filled it out and gav... Read more

Just to clarify, it's not that the issue hasn't gone unfixed for 6 years lol. We had a bug 6 years ago, it got fixed, we have a new bug now that started last week.

As Lev & Maitre mentioned, we're investigating and working on the issue and will hopefully have a fix soon.

We have a priority system when it comes to VO and gameplay always comes first. It would be fairly easy for a modder to tweak this though and it sounds like something we would sanction

Since V2 is a PS4 game we can't fully take advantage of the PS5 but we've implemented a system to acknowledge what console you're on so if you're on PS5 you get 1440p/60fps.

Watch our latest trailer here! Heroes! We’ll be running a new Alpha soon, the Returning Alpha Test, or RAT for short! Thanks for all your naming suggestions from the last dev blog.

The RAT will be open to all owners of Vermintide 2, and it’ll run between May 30 - June 9 on PC.
