Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Dev Tracker

Unfortunately due to a few technical issues we are going to have to delay the Versus Closed Alpha Test, and thus also delay the Stream that was scheduled for today.

We are sure to still hold a test and will update you all with the new dates as soon as possible!

Versus is a new a player vs player plus enemy game mode for Warhammer: Vermintide 2. Featuring 4 vs 4 gameplay where players can fight as the Ubersreik Five and also join the dark pact as Skaven specials.

We’re super excited to announce our closed alpha will run from January 18-January 21. TBD!

We’re blown away by your support during our closed alpha signup period. In the coming days, we will send invites to over 10,000 of you to participate in this alpha; so keep your eyes peeled on your emails (and that pesky pesky spam folder)!

If you weren’t selected as part of our alpha test this time, please don’t fret; we’ll have more opportunities fo...

I couldn’t say why it started happening recently, but I’m glad it worked for you!

Hello.

I can see that you are encountering an Access Violation and have a Ryzen 5 CPU. This can usually be solved by updating your motherboard BIOS and limiting the number of Worker Threads used by Vermintide 2. Please give the directions in this link a try and let me know how it goes for you.

Should be fixed in the next patch, sometime next week!

Historically, I believe ‘Failed to create Steam lobby’ has been a temporary error on Steam’s end. If you haven’t already, please try restarting your Steam client or your PC. In any case, I’ve passed this on internally and we’ll keep an eye on things! Thank you.

OP, you’ve made multiple threads on your thoughts on grims, and whether they should affect players, the host, and the quick play experience. One thread is sufficient. Thread locked.

Glad to hear that! Happy rat bashing

Hi @Kroq,

Sorry to hear this.

I can see you’re running into a Deadlock type crash, with some unusual references to ‘scepad’. Are you using a PlayStation controller or other controller?

If so, can you ensure any software for that is up-to-date.

Failing this, can you try disabling your controller and see if the issue persists?

Glad to hear you were able to delve into the issue and resolve things! Happy rat bashing!

This is quite unusual! and doesn’t appear to be something widely reported. It’s a shot in the dark, but do you use any mods? If so, can you please try disabling them and see if the issue persists?

Otherwise, I it may also be a local issue with your installation.

You can try verfying integrity of game files:

1. Right-click Vermintide 2 in your Steam library sidebar
2. Select ‘Properties’
3. Select the ‘Local Files’ tab
4. Select the ‘Verify the Integrity of Game Files’ button
5. When complete, close and reopen Steam

Or, a clean reinstallation of Vermintide 2:

Hi @zeusfaber,

Your new log shows a non-descript Access Violation type crash, but unfortunately doesn’t indicate the exact cause.

I recommend to run through our general crash solutions, here:

Hi @zeusfaber,

Your logs show the following error/exit codes 0xFA718003 and 0xc0000005, both of which usually indicate a conflict with Anti-Virus/Firewall software.

I recommend checking out the following articles and ensuring you have appropriate exceptions in place for both Vermintide 2 and Easy Anti-Cheat:

Hi @Roibr,

This is quite an unusual engine crash. I recommend to try a clean reinstallation of Vermintide 2, as this can often straighten out more complex issues.

Hi @SiennaFuegonasus,

Sorry to hear this.

The first crash is GPU-related, though it’s not clear as to why. I can see you have up-to-date drivers and you’ve mentioned having tried several solutions already. I can only recommend to try our other solutions if you haven’t already e.g. disabling background apps, changing DirectX version, lowering worker threads etc. in our article, here:

I recommend checking our general audio solutions (e.g. updating audio drivers) here:

Please have your friend update Windows. If they still get this message after having the latest Windows 10 updates installed, share these steps to run the Windows System File Checker.

Hi Mackeviallean. Let’s start by making sure there isn’t some other program interfering with your input. A ‘Selective Startup’ can help diagnose whether a background application is resulting in your issue. This can be performed by:

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

Should you still lose control, then we know it isn’t another application at fault. However, if the issue no longer persists after having performed the Selective Startup, you will need to re-enable each of your usual background applications one-by-one until the problem reoccurs, to determine which is interfering with your character movement.

I don’t think the next one is from a past event, but worth getting!

I’ve added the skins to your account. Enjoy!

Spatnack is correct here. It will be fixed in a hotfix rolling out in the coming weeks. It’s in your inventory, it just doesn’t show in the UI at present for some users.
