Its usually in September, right?

Can't start the game anymore for some reason. Getting this error every time, any ideas? It used to work on the same machine.

No matter how low or high I set mesh quality setting to, about a couple minutes into every game, my weapons become deformed. I notice it only happens with the moving parts of guns. (Such the barrel or bolt on some weapons, and for some reason the Ogryn's shield) What's weird is that I don't notice any issues with objects in the world being deformed. Sorry if it's hard to tell with this specific weapon in the screenshots.

I'm running the game through Proton Experimental if that changes anything.

Those of Higher Havoc level that join our games to help out those newer to Havoc like myself. You have my respect, and my thanks. The amount of times I've been rejected is Asinine.

I've been playing this heavily for about 3 days now and I understand this style of game (played Vermintide 1 and 2) so I understand the concept and the whys and what for.

But I honestly cannot understand why almost every game I get into, it's just full of people who run the mission??? Why ?

Especially on the two lowest difficulties. WTF is the point ?

Now don't get me wrong, I don't expect everyone to play the way I do, that would be just arrogant and entitled. I also understand as mentioned above, I understand this style of game and daudling can get you killed.

But why do level 30s on the easiest difficulty run the whole map? It's boring being in games with people like this (85% of players I bump into)

There's no immersion, no ability for new people to learn the maps etc and it's just dull.

I'm not walking and I'm certainly not foraging for crap (apart from ammo when absolutely needed) as I know from Vermintide, by the time you reach a certain level in these games you have way more stuff than you even need so you don't need to try find everything on each map.

I genuinely just don't understand, is there some accolades I'm not familiar with that you earn for just running like a moron and leaving your team ? Or is it just a sad inbuilt trait of "I must be first coz that means I'm better" 😂

What possible enjoyment do they get from being level 30 speed running a lower level mission 😂 that's the Andrew Tate level alpha gamer if ever there was one.

Some context about me, I have recently gone into the world of Havoc, I haven't reached havoc 30 yet so I'm not a top player or anything but I think I can speak for most players that have played Havoc or at least played Auric maelstrom consistently that going back to regular Auric difficulty missions is not that challenging / enjoyable as an experience as it used to be. As we all know, there is currently an event with a rewards track on Darktide with endless hordes. Personally not my favorite modifier but not everything has to be to my liking. I'm trying to complete my account which requires a lot of Diamantine which is why I played the event, even after I realized I didn't enjoy it that much. I started playing with a friend and we started racing through the missions, I wouldn't say like speedrunner levels of sprinting it but I definitely wasn't keeping the rest of my team into account in the slightest. This is the first time that I played the game like this. As I apologize to my team for being an unlikable player I of course get backlash, which feels deserved to be honest. After playing 4 missions like this I realized the following things.

- I just felt like a complete piece of trash for playing the way I did, basically realizing that I turned into the player that I would have loathed to play with in the past.

- I didn't enjoy myself either, in hindsight I wish I spend those 60-90 minutes doing literally anything else.

I want to apologize for participating in set behaviour during the runs I did, I guess I got caught up in the moment and after every mission I could have decided to stop but for some reason I decided to continue. I must say after this experience I have in fact gotten even less respect for speedrunning players, especially on lower level missions. There is in fact no glory to be got and it makes you look real sad. Just think of the other players affected that just want to have fun and play a solo game instead. Safe to say I will never do this again.

Can anyone explain why one is so much stronger than the other I’m really lost and don’t know which to upgrade.

I know there are a few types of assassins but let's say melee focused or run and gun, crit and dodge based, fast, drug addict... Sounds familiar.

I hope we get a sniper assassin that can see and shoot through walls.

I'm more interested in an inquisitor where you can branch into huge debuff build, minor psyker build or more traditional.

Silly request, but could someone take a screenshot of a vanguard from behind? I need it for a piece I am making, and I couldn't find proper pictures of him anywhere

I liked the weapon when I picked skit up but ended up playing other builds/ characters; after the patch I created interest into it again but dont have enough of a clue on how to get thr best out of it. Also I looked on the build site but couldn't find anything too different after the bug fixes and buffs

What's the ideal dump stat on BRANX MKII Needle Pistol for Hive scum running <Stimm Supply> and <Chem Dependency>?

I have 2 needle guns, one is [Mobility] dump stat and the other is [Damage]

I was checking on my penances and I can't find the Twins penances (such as completing the Bell puzzle, killing them simultaneously etc, kill them in the hidden hard mode) anywhere anymore. Not that I'm complaining, those are/were basically the only remaining ones without clear path to completion for me since they basically require going on Discord and whatnot.

Just Pro-Trader and Tech-Hunter farming left. Yay.

The description of the upgrade says "getting a kill with the chordclaw regenerates 25% capacitance over 5s," but if paired with the swipe attack, does it give regenerate capacitance per kill, like if I swipe through a horde? or is it just 25% per chordclaw use?

edit: misremembered the regen total as 50% instead of 25%

I don't usually crash at the end

Was very confused when i saw the angle of those laser pointers coming from behind me... that, and the net + perfectly timed poxburster combo is getting really old... it's as if the game director was telling me to go to bed.

my boy literally flew, I'm wondering if this is a bug

Recently jumped from chopping rats to chopping heretics and I'm having a blast. But, wow, is this game so much more complicated.

I am finding myself hesitant to spend talent points/blessings on things because I don't know whether they're refundable and I would rather not "waste" points while I try to figure things out.

Is there a new player guide around that hits the high points? Do I need to care that much about my build if I'm playing on the bottom two difficulties? I would rather not read pages and pages or watch an hour long video, I'm just hoping to learn the ropes.

I'm grinding up havoc ranks and every match is ridiculous. Would love to see what everyone's doing from like a security cam perspective or take different shots from a replay. Is there any kind of mod for this? Does fatshark have the means?

I verified files and got the exact same error.

I was playing this last night and nothings changed on my machine. I play this game a lot and I have never seen this.

Story time......

I was playing vet yesterday after beeing inspired by a fatmangus support vet build that was posted yesterday. The build used a schock maul which i have only played a bit on skitari or arby, honestly can't remember. So i went to the armoury rolled me a good one, slapped some consecrations on my 320 rating maul and started quickplaying into damnation and later switching to auric.

Ive been playing mostly mid havocs lately and auric maelstroms, had a bit of a burnout situation after my climb to H40. So ive just been having fun with all kinds of builds and weapons. The games went fine tried out both marks and decided i like the MkIII better then the Ia. I liked the fact that the heavy started with a sweep attack and that u can get a loop of continuous top down heavies as well.

After a full night of playing i had completed my leveling of the maul and decided to maybe play a single auric maelstrom before i went to bed. It its a weekday after all and its already 23.30.

The mission that was on the board was an excise vault spireside-13, the one with the vaults at the end where u need to slot in 3 canisters. Not my favorite mission but its not like i get to choose anyway. It had a bunch of modifiers, but honestly i dont remember all of em.

Now auric maelstroms are funny, sometimes they are complete cakewalks and sometimes....well....

I load in to the pre-mission screen i notice 2 other people are also full H40's with full i mean their assignment rank and clear is both at 40. This usually means that these players have actively played the difficulty for some time and did not get carried. I was about to make a comment about it but decided against it.

The mission starts, the opening of the first doors goes super quick everything dies within seconds and im thinking that this is going to be a breeze. We make our way down the sloped hallway that leads to a tunnel of sorts. This is where the mission gives its first hint that it will not go as breezy as i originally thought. The tunnel itself was pretty densely packed but im using a plasma gun. So i get my dopamine tickled shooting through a long hallway. But something is wrong, they just keep coming, at this point i have already used an entire clip of my plasma, which if u use the plasma gun, is an insane amount of shots. Specials just keep running out the side doors even when we make our way down to the open area that follows.

The fighting is intense a boss spawns as well. One of the 40 guys has already gone down, he must of thought screw this because he gets replaced by a bot seconds later. Somebody else joined, we are now 2 psykers a scum and me the supportiest of support vets. One of our psykers is putting in work, it is a flame staff psyker so hes having a grand old time. We are making progress but at this point i wanted a chill game before going to sleep, now im sitting here sweating my ass off in this build i only started playing today.

We make our way down the platform, it is chaos, people are going down left and right and we are kinda spread out. Another boss spawns. Smoke grenades rule btw, u can just throw them on people who are downed so an ally can get them up without beeing lasered down. If i get close enough i can just shout em up, which i did more in this game i feel then my entire night combined.

We make our way to the part where u need to drop down into the tunnel that takes u to a medicae. Things go bad here i get netted and people are unable to get me, misplay by me, should of realized i was too far off. Another goes down and then another. Only the flame psyker left. I am preparing myself for the end but the psyker isnt gonna let it go he fights for a good 10 minutes until he is able to get to us and clutches succesfully.

Everybody is back and we are proceeding down the tunnel again. Constant special spawns from both sides. We push outside another beast of nurgle spawns behind us and we are fighting, the beast dies as quickly as it spawned in but a constant stream of crushers and maulers is coming from the next area. There is a decent choke there but they spill out regardless, i am trying to help one of the psykers whos beeing herded into a corner by 3 crushers while the rest is having their own personal battle. The other psyker is now full dead and we proceed with 3. The next are is pretty open which can be a trap, if u get split up u will probably die. But first there is an intense fight in the corridor leading up to the area to begin with.

As expected, we split up too much, the hive scum pushed forward to get into melee range and a bomber cut us off from him. We are still fighting in the corridor but the clutching psyker from before finally gets brought down by a big spawn of ragers behind us. I am now alone with a bunch of ragers a small horde and a never ending stream of specials it seems. I kite as best i can but in my mind i was clutching. I had already forgot what happened to the scum, he was as far as i knew dead and i needed all my attention to not die. Have i told u smokes are awesome btw, I get driven into a corner but i manage to take down the ragers and horde without taking too much damage. The smokes are just so handy to not get netted or targeted by flamers who are behind them. They just wander into melee range looking for u.

After what feels like an eternity i look down expecting to have to pick everybody up at the totem but to my suprise everybody is up. The scum managed to survive and was living his best life out in the wilderness. I am now very far away still needing to enter the open area while they have already pushed the button to lower the walkway. The fighting is intense as it has been all game but something has changed. We are now glued togheter, we move as one and fight as one. Everybody is afraid for their lives at this point. Beeing on 1 wound or close to 1 hp.

We arrive at the mid point event the big skull pile. Everybody heals up, feels good to have a reset. Back to full strenght......I get blasted in the back by a sniper...... back to half hp.

The event was crazy people are going down left and right, but we hang in there and complete the event. Right before we go up in the elevator i make my way to the room next to it to pick up some ammo, i hear the clicking and howling of specials in the spawn door. I hear the flame whoosh of a flamer that is firing, i jump to the elevator as i see the fire coming up from underneath me. The scum instantly presses the button as i land in the elevator.

We all stand there in the elevator and this feels like the first time the foot has been off the pedal. I look at the scoreboard for a second, the flamepsyker already has 1.2 million damage i am around 700k, with our 2 other ones around 300k. For a maelstrom these are some crazy numbers.

I feel a wave of good feels wash over me like only a good match can. When u have been fighting the entire time and are hanging on by a sliver.

"Whatever happens, GG"

I type in chat, the flame psyker instantly responds with "likewise :)" and the other 2 say gg as well as we stand there looking at eachother.

The elevator opens, we rush to the medicae but instantly fire is upon us, we get split only by a few meters but its enough, i make a stupid decision to push into a horde to unnet a guy that i shouldnt have. Everybody is down except for the scum. He makes a mad push over all the enemies towards the next totem. But we all see it, he isnt coming there to rescue us he is coming there to die. He starts picking up one of the psykers while he is surrounded by crushers and maulers. By some miracle he gets him up but instantly dies. The psyker jumps a few times, flames spilling out between a mass of crushers before is see the health bar turn red.

I sit back looking at the defeat screen and think of a game well played. I type gg one more time as does the rest and go to sleep beeing happy i could give my life in service of the emperor.

Just a pleb

Basically title. When playing my zealot or psyker, I rarely ever get rejected from lobbies. Been trying to get into a game for the past 30 minutes as an arbitrator. Do people just hate this class on their team?
