Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Dev Tracker

The event doesn't start for a couple more days.

October 26 - November 6

The reason for the beta was to test server stability, scale and ov we rall stability. That's what betas are for. (At leat ours)

Usually how it works is that we branch very early which means that most of the game isn't ready, functional or tweaked so we turn most of the features off. Then we stabalize a subset of features that we feel confortable with so people playing the beta can still have fun but it's not representable of the release version at all. This is all done to gather information so we can tweak, fix bugs, and load balance the final release so we can have rhe smoothest/best release possible

It's usually a few hundred players at peak hours depending on platform. We stopped supporting it around 2019 roughly a year after Vermintide 2 came out since almost all of our players migrated to Vermintide 2

It's great isn't it :)

Yeah we never updated it for the new consoles so V1 is stuck at a locked 30fps on consoles unfortunately

Yes we have a different bundling strategy for darktide which will reduce the disk size considerably. I'm not as involved in that though so I'm not 100% sure exactly where it'll end up compared to V2

Basically it comes down to what is called bundling. Mechanical drives are really slow at seeking to new sections on the disks so to reduce the load times we basically have to take each "package", let's say a level to simplify it a bit, and take everything within that level such as models, textures, sounds, animations and much much more and create a blob of data that can be read sequentially without having to seek across the physical disks on a mechanical drive to find the file we need. This reduces load times by at least a factor of five for mechanical drives. The downside though is that since the data has to be put sequentially on disk which means that we have to duplicate A LOT of data across all of our packages. There is ways around this and we are exploring our options but that's the explaination.

Even if you have a super fast SSD and don't benefit from the bundling you still have to wait for the person with the slowest drive to load into a mission to have everyone syn...

It should fill in completion by difficulty and character (we don't track career though).

You have to redeem Okri's challenges. There are buttons glowing and if you click/press them you should get the reward

This was implemented months ago with the quality of life update. It's only available on the new UI since we deprecated the old one. Just hit the little cog wheel next to your item and you can apply illusions, upgrade and tinker with the item directly. If you upgrade your item it will equip the new and improved one on all careers that have that item equipped

So we can look in to what's going on with your event quests!

Hey Nekomarcus! What's your Xbox Gamertag?

This is awesome!

This is the exact goal of the test though, finding the issues where certain players meeting specific criteria aren't able to connect or stay connected. Better to find them now than on November 30th!

These are so good! I love the whole series!

Okay now I want a murderous hedge....
