Warhammer: Vermintide 2

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Dev Tracker




19 Apr

Hi everyone! My name is Teodor, resident game designer on Vermintide 2. While I have been at Fatshark for a while now I am still fairly new to the V2 team, joining just last year. And so, this will be my first ever dev blog for the project. Let’s get straight into it!

This latest update saw the introduction of our new Chaos Warrior variant (and his big shield). Players coming from Darktide might feel right at home when looking at our newest enemy, but he does function slightly differently than his Bulwark brother from across the studio. We’ve been looking at adding a new Elite enemy for a while, especially one that makes room for some heavy-stagger-playstyles, so here he is in all his shield-wielding glory.



The first thing you’ll notice is that this new Chaos Warrior is heavy, but he does have an exposed weak spot in th... Read more

@DeLaurec if you back up your user_settings.config file and then replace it again afterwards this should keep your settings. I’m not 100% certain about mods.

I’d also recommend booting the game up and checking to see if the stutter persists with a clean config before re-adding your old one though.

You can find your user_settings.config file here:
\AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Vermintide 2

Ah I see :frowning: did you try a clean reinstallation of Vermintide 2 before?

Otherwise, I’m admittedly a little stumped as you seem to have exhausted our usual solutions. If that’s the case I would recommend switching and using DX 11.

Glad to hear that this may have been resolved :crossed_fingers: Please let me know if your friend runs into any further issue.

Hi @DeLaurec,

No problem! Glad to hear that DX 11 isn’t stuttering :slight_smile:

It’s a shot in the dark, but you could try deleting your shader_cache.pip_lib file.

  1. Press Windows + R
  2. Enter %appdata% and select ‘OK’
  3. Navigate to: \AppData\Roaming\Fatshark\Vermintide 2
  4. Delete your shader_cache.pip_lib file
  5. Launch Vermintide 2 as normal with DX 12 (this will create a new .pip_lib file)

Please let me know how this goes.

Hi @yunzesheng,

Sorry, could you please clarify the issue further?

Thanks!

Comment

@DeLaurec, thanks for the clear explanation. Hm, I partly wonder if this is a temporary shader cache issue (similar happens with Darktide), which should usually go away after a few games. That said, as the issue seems to be returning when you restart the game or your PC that’s unusual.

Does the issue persist if you try switching Direct X versions?

Otherwise, it could be worth trying a clean reinstallation of Vermintide 2 (though please note custom settings, keybindings etc. would be deleted and need to be redone)

As others said, the size of the patch is not added to the game, game will still only take up about 58gb of your disk.

But, indeed, we're not happy with the size of this hotfix or some of the patches we've had. We changed our patching structure during the Gifts of the Wolf Father updat... Read more

I see! As you can play in Modded realm this does indicate an EAC-related issue, as EAC only applies to Official realm.

Are any specific error messages shown on screen? As this can help in narrowing down the appropriate solution.

If not, I would recommend to start with the following -

  • Repair Easy Anti-Cheat
  • Add Anti-Virus and Firewall exceptions for both Vermintide 2 and Easy Anti-Cheat
  • Perform a ‘Selective Startup’ which can help determine if a background application is the cause

Please see:

Open Alpha was also dedicated servers. We had some issues that caused these servers to crash often during the early periods of the open alpha, though, hence all the disconnects. The error message for the server DCing was still a placeholder message about the 'host' disconnecting, which is why some people thought it was p2p.

Sorry to hear this @Wyzilla

Based on the information in your launcher log, the issue is either GPU-related or to do with Easy Anti-Cheat, though it’s a little unclear as I only have access to this and no console log has been generated.

Off the bat, please try a clean reinstallation of your GPU drivers:

Hey @Lubbydubs,

I’ve been informed that this is intended, as Kruber is the main instigator for their journey - which is why he’s the one with a short briefing.

Hi @OenKrad,

We’ve had trouble reproducing this issue. If possible, could you provide a video of the issue if you can replicate it?

Also, if you could provide your console log from the session too, that would be super handy.

Hi @Cryoteer,

Sorry to hear this. I responded to your support ticket, but I’ll also drop a similar reply here.

It could be worth checking your microphone settings or disabling in-game voice chat. Please see:

Issue Type (Required):

Gameplay

Issue Description (Required):

Upon reaching the stuck oil cart to push (and to fill), there is an objective to use a barrel to free it and then you can start pushing it forward. Putting a barrel in there will do the exploding/fire trigger but won’t free the cart. Can’t put any more barrels in it or do anything else to free it. Map became impossible to complete. Did not have this problem the first two times I did the map.

@Revy, apologies! Our Backend Service Provider had some temporary disruption last night. This should have resolved now. Please let me know if the error persists though!
